Not too bright to court evangelicals by making idiotic statements like this.

He will need them if he wishes to win.

What you believe has everything to do with how you behave and that is very important for leaders. What you feed your soul impacts what you believe.

“Jeb” Kasich - for when you want a RINO but just can’t take another Bush.

Looked shifty and a little weird in the face to begin with.

No to JK...even before this knucklehead statement.

Kasich’s father was a mailman, BTW. In case you didn’t know.

"I don't read a Bible to figure out what I think,"

While I might find some agreement in this, it is a profoundly stupid thing for other than a hard core communist-leftist to say during an election.

You keep that sort of stuff to your self. You cannot please everybody, so do not go out deliberately PO'ing a large segment of them.

Nobody reads a Bible to figure out what they think.
They read a Bible because it reveals what God commands.

[[He will need them if he wishes to win. ]]

He doesn’t wish to win. They brought him in to
deliver Ohio to Jeb . He sees Jeb doesn’t have a
Chinaman’s chance. He just wants out now. No
pretense. Put him out of his pain. That’s why he
keeps shooting himself in the foot. He’s too
cowardly to aim at his own head.

This part is most revealing:

"I think (abortion) is an important issue, but I think there's many other issues that are really critical. Early childhood. Infant mortality. The environment. Education," he said. "I think we focus too much on just one issue, and now that the issue of gay marriage is kind of off the table, we're kind of down to one social issue."

The Republican presidential candidates have talked about immigration, ISIS, Iran, repealing Obamacare, and religious liberty. You really have to be an ignoramus to think they've only talked about "one issue". Even if you limit it to social issues, religious liberty counts as one.

And notice the "other issues" he brings up. For Kasich, "other issues" means "Issues the liberal establishment wants us to talk about."

And if the gay marriage issue is "off the table" because of the Supreme Court then why isn't abortion off the table because of Roe?

I always assumed the few Jon Huntsman types in the GOP would support Bush, but Kasich makes Jeb look like Jesse Helms!

That’s informative. Yet another reason he will never get my vote.

I think this makes sense — in a good way. “I don’t read...” is the present tense.

As a strong “evangelical”, I took it to mean that perhaps he has created a solid foundation in Biblical principles in past years — perhaps since childhood. In which case, he wouldn’t have to read (present tense) the Bible each time he needs to make a decision. If solidly grounded in the Bible, then it’s part of who he is and “right thinking” would be natural.

I’m not a Kasich fan, but his statement cold be very benign.

He’s being honest. And courting evangelicals hasn’t helped others much in the past anyway.

Is he on meds? People that get out of prison don’t pay taxes. They recidivate or get on welfare. Honestly I think we are making them crazy now. They be walking crazy town.

He is just another big government tool. Why not vote for a real Democrat?
