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

Posted on 07/20/2016 8:12:23 AM PDT by Bratch

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."

Agreed. No president is going to let the VP have that much power and that much exposure.

If true it just proves that Kasich is even more STOOOOPID than we all thought. Turn that down? Why??

Because it was never offered in the first place?

Which eventually becomes Pyrrhic because it creates a quasi-slave class.

At the very least this is exaggerated.

If true, it gives me pause for Trump. Cannot be true. Trump would never bring on that progressive so called conservative.

Kacish lies

Exactly. This is Kasich telling everyone how he could have been Homecoming Queen if only he had put out, but he wasn't that kind of girl.

Article and comments

Kasich created a public snubbing for Trump surpassing anything the Cruz supporters did at the convention.

John Kasich’s very public snub to Trump as he holds party for Republican ‘friends’ [trunc]

Kasich, the Ohio governor, rode up an escalator at the rock museum to live music, waving, smiling and clapping in return at his party faithful – a visual reminder of the Trump Tower escalator that Trump himself rode down when making his announcement to seek the presidency.

Thanks, Bratch

If Trump loses Ohio, he loses the election. Kasich knows this. If that is how it plays out, history will see Kasich as the villain who destroyed the GOP. Hillary will have 10 million new dependent voters in the next election cycle. The middle class will be destroyed. Those with money —— the big taxpayers —— will leave the country. We will become a banana republic with a felon as the chief law enforcement officer. And what will she do when Iran is in a position to deliver a nuke to Israel?

Great metaphor.
