Kasich Tries To Praise Latinos -- And Ends Up Talking About Tipping The Hotel Maid
IRVINE -- Sharing an anecdote Thursday at a campaign event as he spoke about Republicans trying to attract Latino voters, Ohio Gov. John Kasich got tangled up on the details.
At a luncheon hosted at a posh Orange County golf club by a local political action committee, Kasich heap praise upon Latinos -- a crucial voting bloc, with 28 million expected to be eligible to vote in the 2016 election -- for family values and work ethic, but then appeared to indirectly conflate Latinos and service-industry workers.
"A lot of them do jobs that they're willing to do and, uh, that's why in the hotel you leave a little tip," said Kasich before a small group inside the Shady Canyon Golf Club, nestled in a gated Irvine neighborhood.
Kasich went on to tell a story about his stay at a hotel in Los Angeles in recent days.
"This lady wrote me in my hotel there in L.A. She wrote this note. It said, 'I really want you to know that I care about your stay.' Is that just the greatest thing?" he said. "So, you know, we can learn a lot and she's Hispanic, 'cause I didn't know it at the time, but I met her in the hallway -- asked her if I could get a little more soap, said a chuckling Kasich.

He's known to golf with all the right people too:
Some people really are clueless.
[And Ends Up Talking About Tipping The Hotel Maid]
What do you tip a chamber maid? $5?
You’re blaming Lupe?
So that’s one tuck, and one non-tuck.
We went shopping. Cleaning supplies. AND gum.
Obama, Kasich, Biden and Orange Obama at an Orange County CC. How apropos.
For the record, those pics were not taken from the event in the article.
They don't need to hang out too often - they all have each other on speed-dial.
Kasich has bumped into way too many doors..
hit his head on open kitchen cabinet doors..
Or ran into to many clean plate glass windows..
He ain’t right.. in the head..
Secret-ary of Hate Hillarity Clintoon would never make this error. She doesn’t tip!
Kasich should not even be in the race! He’s a loon and should never have made it to the big table from the kids’ card table in the corner.
Hope he, Huck, Santorem, Paul, Rubio, Walker, Pataki and Graham are all drop-outs real soon, so the serious campaigning can begin.
Kaisch was tedious at the debate. Comes across like a self-righteous nerd.
Maybe Kasick will run with Biden. Kasick tries to connect with Latino hotel workers and Biden tries to connect with Indian 7-11 owners.
Sounds like a strong ticket - LOL!
***They don’t need to hang out too often - they all have each other on speed-dial.***
But where on Obama’s speed-dial is Kasich? Is he number 1 or does the great leader have him hidden under poison control?
I couldn’t focus on anything Kasich said. He was too dull. However I think it’s sweet that he still lets Mommy cut his hair. After all she must be in her late 90s.
The only reason he is in is to split the primary vote in Ohio, to benefit Yeb Bush.
Hillary favors those 7/11 Indians, anyway.
