Something happened to John Kasich that has caused him to fall from the Grace our Lord offers. It is really heartbreaking to see.

I suspect they lured him into child sex-trafficking.

It's the only explanation.

“I suspect they lured him into child sex-trafficking. It’s the only explanation.”

OR ... Another explanation is that they have the goods on him from his days in DC — his “extracurricular” sexual activities. There were no female bodies in his wake (that we know of), like Condit and Scarborough, but there must be other stuff. I figure they have the files.

The things you have all mentioned are true to various extents. Its just sad what happened to an otherwise reliable conservative (at least in his early years). I mean, here's a guy who won his last election for Governor with a near-record 64%, 31 points ahead of his 'Rat opponent, in a swing state like Ohio. But afterward he started saying things like "The hand of the Lord is upon me...". that kind of thing.

When I first met John Kasich it was clear to me that he wanted to be President. He tried the traditional primary route and didn't make much headway. I'm wondering now if he isn't desperate enough to try a kind of "fusion" ticket with a 'Rat candidate he thinks will be acceptable to a primarily centrist base. Trouble is, for that to work you have to find a 'Rat candidate who will appeal to the mushy middle and perhaps those on the fringes of that on either side. But the real trouble will be that Kasich would have to trust a 'Rat, something you never, ever should do.
