“...Kasich suffers from the same thing that blocks Bobby Jindahl from making much electoral progress, that being a wonky and somewhat colorless on the job personality.”
******************************************************************************************************
He suffers from much more than a bland personality...he can, at a moment’s notice, shed his conservative beliefs like a snake sheds his skin!
Bobby Jindal & Kasich are at opposite ends of conservative spectrum. Also, Kasich was never a Rhodes Scholar like Jindal was. Therefore I would not accuse Kasich of being wonkish. However Kasich is a good republican, much preferred over any democRat.
I think Kasich has a great down to earth, entertaining personality. The medicaid expansion however, was really dumb.
And he has shed them rather quickly for the new rino base in Ohio, aka as the public employee unions and others.
Never forget that kasich’s dad was a letter carrier (union) for postal service.
You’d think he’d have learned.
But Jeb is the same approach, albeit with Phillips Andover prep school, yale skull/bones and going to mexico to marry a peasant girl “out of class” so to speak. Whon now runs on the continuation of the RINO crap of his dad and his brother— all of whom dismantled Ronald Reagan’s efforts.
