Report: Trump camp offered to make Kasich 'most powerful VP in history'
The Hill ^ | July 20, 2016 | Jessie Hellmann

Donald Trump's campaign reached out to John Kasich in May with an offer to make him the "most powerful vice president in history," the New York Times reported Tuesday.

Trump's oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reached out to a Kasich advisor after the Ohio governor ended his own presidential campaign, promising that if he accepted the vice presidency, Kasich would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.

The advisor asked what Trump would be in charge of, the report said, and Trump Jr. responded: "Making America great again."

That would have been hard to do, considering that Dick Cheney basically was President for eight years.

Because this fool doesn’t agree with Trump’s stance on immigration and wants more for Ohio even if they could be future terrorists.

Ego conflict maybe. Trump might want to do it “This way” and Kasich might want to do it “That way or the highway.” Trump will deal, but he won’t beat his head on an utterly unyielding brick wall, nor will he be an utterly capitulating mush.

Is he wanting it because businesses are wanting it or because it will attract money from Washington or some combination

I don’t believe it, although Roger Stone floated the idea on Twitter a few months ago.

Yeah, just go and read the posted comments and it leaves you with the continuing notion that in the main, voters in this country all have an anal cranial inversion.

This is based on garbage from the NYTimes that relies on an unnamed source from the Kasich campaign.

If true, this would have to be right up there with Rubio’s decision to be part of the gang of 8 as one of the dumbest political moves of all time.

Probably wants it more for the cheaper labor, which if that’s what republicans stand for, then I need a new party.

(look who gave money to John Kasich)

What source does the Hill say the "Report" came from.....propaganda from the Crooked Clinton Camp (CCC) more than likely.
