Republicans can forget about campaigning against Obamacare in 2016 if Ohio Gov. John Kasich is on the party’s presidential ticket.
Conventional wisdom says Kasich will need to explain his Obamacare Medicaid expansion to Republican primary voters — but he’s been explaining it for two years.
That’s the problem: most of Kasich’s arguments for Medicaid coverage for working-age adults with no kids and no disabilities sound like they were written by Democratic strategists.
The longer Kasich is in the presidential race, the greater the potential for Democrats to capitalize on Kasich’s promotion of Obamacare.
...
The governor told the Ohio General Assembly to implement the law’s Medicaid expansion in 2013. When the Legislature voted against it, Kasich expanded Medicaid anyway.
Six Republicans from the Ohio House sued the Kasich administration in response; while their case was pending, Kasich shrugged them off as “people on the outside”

I put him in the same class with Jeb, Marco, Huck and whoever else is trying to keep Walker and Cruz from getting anywhere. He can go screw himself.
Of course. It was “off the table” long before Kasich muddied the field further.
If he’s on the ticket, victory is off the table....
Obamacare off the table? It’s the foundation of our healthcare system (as far as insurance goes) now. There isn’t a collective spine among politicians to a thing to fix that mess. It’s too late and we don’t have leaders anymore.
Patriots need to get the word out concerning low-information Gov. Kasich that, regardless what activist justices want everybody to think about the constitutionality of Obamacare, the states have never amended the Constitution to grant the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend in the name of intrastate healthcare purposes.
I will not be voting for any GOPE trash in this election or any other election.
Well then, it’s simple. let’s not have John Kasich on the ticket.
This clown can nominate George Pataki as his running mate.
The most excited person in America over K-SICK’S ENTRY INTO THIS RACE IS Pataki because this gives him a fighting chance to get out of last place.
Thankfully there’s about a 0.00000001% chance of that happening.
