Flake couldn’t win re-election.

Kasich didn’t make a dent against Trump in Ohio in 2016.

Fake news.

Kasich’s dad was a mailman.

Not sure if everyone is aware of that.

Noble profession, unlike his POS son.

If the economy keeps booming, how do these two twits expect to get any traction?

Kasich couldn’t win Ohio again. There is a great deal of resentment in the Republican party over his snubbing of the convention in Cleveland.

None of the Republican contenders for governor even want his endorsement.

Flake can’t even win reelection.

Baby boy Joseph Kennedy will be the Dem. nominee I think at the next Presidential election. Meanwhile, the Dems will do everything they can to make him presentable in the run up to that time. Personally, the Kennedy surname puts me off.

Kasich won the Ohio primary. It was the only one he won.

Progressive ideology, combined with excessive levels of arrogance and desire for power, infiltrate both the Democrat and Republican Parties.

Sometimes that Progressive ideology masks itself as "goodness" and "light." Beneath it all, however, there is, still, a coercive nature that must presume to be "above" and "more righteous" than others in order to impose its will upon fellow citizens whom such political animals consider to need instruction and control.

Those two have always been challengers to Trump. They may plan, however, to seek a more dramatic role to get noticed by the MSM. They will not get noticed by the voters.

Kasich should just change his name to Flake—because that is what they both are.

If Trump keeps it up, he will cruise the GOP nomination.
