John Kasich says Trump should be impeached
Axios ^ | October 18, 2019 | Michael Sykes

Posted on 10/18/2019 12:35:16 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) told CNN Friday that President Trump should be impeached after acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said the Trump administration had frozen military aid as leverage to get Ukraine to investigate a conspiracy theory about a DNC server.

"To me, it's totally inappropriate. It's an abuse of power. Now I know that there are presidents that will withhold aid because they have policy differences, but this is not a policy difference. So my view is that — look, I fought with people on the air about 'Is there a quid pro quo?' and 'Does this rise to the level of impeachment?' I now believe that it does. I say it with great sadness. This is not something I really wanted to do."

The big picture: Kasich has long been a political opponent of Trump — despite his prior hesitancy to call for the president's impeachment — and said he was "very seriously" considering a 2020 primary challenge as recently as last year.

Kasich trying to stay relevant, trying to keep the cocktail circuit invites coming.

Sorry John, you will never be relevant again.

All because Trump doesn’t want to occupy Syria, Turkey, etc for the next 1000 years.

I apologize that any Ohioan would put such a spin on what was certainly not an impeachable offense. Gov. Kasich is hardly an objective observer!!

How is it an abuse of power to act within the legitimate function of the Presidency? Mutual cooperation is hardly nefarious.

<< “Now I know that there are presidents that will withhold aid because they have policy differences, but this is not a policy difference.” >>

The Obama admin (specifically, Joe Biden) threatened to withhold U.S. aid to Ukraine if the prosecutor tasked with investigating the corrupt, oligarch-owned company (Burisma) where Hunter Biden sat on the board wasn’t immediately fired. He WAS promptly fired, after which Joe BRAGGED about his own role in the firing. On camera. And he specifically mentioned that he had used U.S. aid as a threat. Any word from Kasich or any of the other NeverTrumpers about this? Nope.

It might be fun if someone did a deep investigation into the orgy club of Kasich, Scarborough, and Condit. Maybe if that were to happen at least Kasich and Scarborough might zip it. The death of two girls connected with those guys could be interesting.

You got that right.

At one time during the 2016 election, Kasich was Trump’s primary opponent. He was getting glowing press (of course) and seemed to relish every minute of it. His fall has been forgotten by everyone but him.

Kasich is the epitome of the Peter Principle. He has reach a level in politics where he is incompetent and won't rise any further.

Why do people persist is listening to losers like this? Wasn't he last in the GOP primary race when Trump won?

He will not endear himself to Republicans taking positions that are in sync with the liberal democRATS against his own party's president.

It's like asking a filthy, threadbare, shabbily dressed homeless person what kind of tuxedo you should wear to your wedding. Not exactly an intellect when it comes to fashion or clothes. Or in his case, opinions on impeachment of the president.

He should follow in his dad's footsteps and become a postman for the duration of his life. Or maybe a dog catcher.

This is Kasich trying to be relevant again because he isn't anymore.

My dad was a Marine in three wars, so I’ve got him beat by a country mile.
