Poor old Kasich .

He might have another go at the Presidency it sounds like after his massive loss .

Guess we might have more of this to look forward to...





Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich expressed frustration with the current state of the Republican and Democratic parties Sunday amid rumors that he could pursue a 2020 presidential run.

I am disappointed with Republicans, and politicians in general.

Kasich is full of crap. The man stood no change in 2016.

He is irrelevant.

^^^^^This. He's going to have to go back to being a pundit, because his political career is over, and it should be. Dolt.

Kasich is right. The Republican party is no longer the party of Lincoln, TR, or Reagan. That party is dead and buried.

The Republican party is now synonymous with Trump and Trumpism.

They should just do away with the fiction and call themselves Trumplicans.

Kasich should just make a clean break from the Trumplican party once and for all.

The GOP have never been stand up guys, but they have fallen to a new low since Trump came on the scene. They didn't want him, but they were forced to take him, and now, no matter what stupid act he pulls, they are right there to make excuses for him.

Ryan and the rest of them have shown their true colors, and how little they really care about anyone but their own political butts. They would support Satan if it meant they could get re-elected.

Right now they are running scared, the elections where the Democrats have taken seats that have traditionally gone to Republicans has them scrambling. But I can tell them how to save themselves.......ditch that orange monkey on your backs and you might have a chance of redeeming some of the dignity you once had.

This has been said more than once in the past couple of days and reality is, JFK would still be a Democrat. Here is what JFK said about being a liberal:

“If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people-their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights and their civil liberties-someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal", then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal.”

Kasich, on the other hand, is sort of a man without a party. Democrats don't want him either because he signed a bill forcing parents to have a Downs Syndrome baby even if they don't have the resources or support to take care of it with such challenges as heart, vision and hearing disabilities. So what happens if they can't support a baby with such disabilities? Does the state of Ohio then take over? Does Ohio have that kind of money to raise all Down Syndrome children conceived in the state? Kasich put himself in a quandary he had no business being in. Good luck Ohio paying for that.

after Kasich's 29th speech touting his extensive government resume I said nope to voting for him.

a lifelong bureaucrat is not appealing.

Kasich was raised a Democrat. He was never really a Republican. He said he had an uncle that was a Republican. He said nobody paid any attention to him (as he laughed). This was in an interview that he said all this.

Kasich is like a bad cold that refuses to go away. He just keeps hanging on.
