Republican Ohio Governor John Kasich is pushing Republican leadership to stand up to President Donald Trump on tariffs and immigration. […]
Kasich urged Republicans in Congress “to do whatever they can do legislatively” to push back against Trump’s decisions to impose tariffs on several ally nations and end an Obama-era program to protect undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children. …

Kasich wants America Last trade policies and open borders.
Amen to the McCain bedside comment. The Senator from AZ doesn’t need a eulogist, but rather an exorcist.......
His presidency exposed the sad fact that we have a bunch of CONservatives in the Republican Party who are giving their voters nothing but lip service while they sell out to globalists. The rank and file Republican knows who’s telling the truth John Kasich, and it ain’t YOU and the rest of your Deep State cohorts!
We already rejected you Johnny
Feel embarrassed much?.
There’s the door, K-SICK. You are a stupid RINO clod who is completely unnecessary to my country. Hit the road, schmuck, and doncha come back no more!
The Only thing KaSuck is qualified to do is team up with Jeb Bush to film the Sequel to Dumb and Dumber.
[Sen. Bob Corker said Saturday that he is working with other Senate Republicans on an effort to “push back” on President Donald Trump’s use of authority “in ways never intended and that are damaging to our country and our allies.”...]
They were fine with Obama ruling by executive orders for 8 years with nary a whimper. The truth is the GOP establishment corporate whores were fine with Obama as president.
This is expected. It is common for liberal Democrats like Kaysuck to attack the GOP.
Franklin Roosevelt’s rapid conversion from Constitutionalism to the doctrine of unlimited government is an oft-told story. But I am here concerned not so much by the abandonment of states’ rights by the national Democratic Party — an event that occurred some years ago when that party was captured by the socialist ideologues in and about the labor movement — as by the unmistakable tendency of the Republican Party to adopt the same course. […] Thus, the cornerstone of the Republic, our chief bulwark against the encroachment (on) individual freedom by Big Government, is fast disappearing under the piling sands of absolutism.58 years and things got worse instead of better.
The Republican Party, to be sure, gives lip service to states’ rights. We often talk about “returning to the states their rightful powers”; the Administration has even gone so far as to sponsor a federal-state conference on the problem. But deeds are what count, and I regret to say that in actual practice, the Republican Party, like the Democratic Party, summons the coercive power of the federal government whenever national leaders conclude that the states are not performing satisfactorily. …

One of the books that changed my life.
If I am not mistaken, his father was a mailman.
Good one.
If more people read it, they’d be less surprised by the GOP-e’s behavior over the decades.
Sure John - because the status quo was working so well.
when a person has made himself irrelevant on all matters of public discourse,
but he still craves attention....
he makes the wildest, stupidest, craziest, (and in some cases, if not Kasuck, like the most anti-American or otherwise outrageous) statements possible to imagine
and the mass media just laps it up and then pisses it out to the American people, like a parched, rabid hound dog
......
He correctly predicted the world we live in today.
He believed strongly in Civil Rights, but of the MLK content of one's character variety.
He thought that it should never have been a Federal program forced down the throats at gunpoint issue.
He predicted correctly that it would lead to Affirmative Action, quotas, set-asides, etc, that would forever taint true black American achievements.
He truly believed in individual rights, not "group rights" which he warned against.
He KNEW it would eventually tear Americans apart.
The latter part of the book was focused on the Soviet Union and communism, and this is the only part of the book that hasn't aged well.
He couldn't conceive of a collapse of the Soviet Union, but who in 1964 could have seen that coming?
I'd say that the book should be required reading.
Changed my thinking completely, and he does it in a very accessible way.
One note Johnny.
Conservatives are bad...Blah blah blah
Oh and my dad was a mailman blah blah blah
