Kasich: 'Zero chance’ I’m someone’s vice president

Republican presidential candidate John Kasich insisted Tuesday he would not consider running for the vice presidency.

“Zero chance, just stop there, zero chance,” he told Fox Business Network’s “Varney & Co.,” specifically referencing Donald Trump.

“I have no interest,” Kasich added. "I’m going to be governor of Ohio. There is zero chance I will be anybody’s vice presidential candidate — period, end of story.”

This is greatly under reported.
Who would suspect the beloved Poppy Bush to be an Agent of Evil? I....I can’t breathe!
I wonder if Alex Jones, or George Noory know about this most crooked little tale.

[Impy]

Why else would he run? You don’t have to run for President to be nominated for Vice President. Ryan, Palin, Cheney, Kemp, and Quayle were not Presidential candidates. He was a stronger VP possibility BEFORE he embarrassed himself with his touchy feely campaign.

[mad_as_he$$]

IMHO opinion Kasich believes deep down he is on a mission from God.

[Impy]

Amazing how many Trump backers (not you) who would seemingly be just fine with this RINO turd Kasich as the running mate.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Someone needs to give him a cop car with a cop engine, cop brakes, cop suspension, and cop transmission.

Then have him take a long drive on a short pier.

[doldrumsforgop]

what a prima donna.

[remaxagnt]

I disagree I think this is exactly who he chooses. Only thing that makes sense not a fan of his but if he gets Trump the white house who cares vp don’t do anything anyway

[mkjessup]

Do I detect a slight whiff of cynicism in your comments Lee? lol

There is no smoking gun, but if there is anything funny at all that can be found in the aftermath of the attempted assasination of Ronald Reagan, it is this gem which made the rounds via many xerox machines (pre-internet) in '84:

The White House

October 31, 1984

Mr. John Hinckley,
St. Elizabeth's Hospital
Washington D.C. 20066

Dear Mr. Hinckley,

Nancy and I recently learned that you are making some
good progress in your recovery from the psychological
malady that caused you to attempt to assassinate me in
early 1981.

We want you to know that Nancy and I bear no ill will
towards you and wish you the very best in the years to
come. Have a Happy Thanksgiving next month.

Best Wishes,

Ronald Reagan

President of the United States



(say John? Did you know that Walter Mondale has been
f--king Jody Foster? Trick or Treat, you little bastard!)

[Repeal 16-17]

Zero chance he would be asked

Exactly! Nobody has asked him to be anybody running mate, yet he felt the need to preemptively decline an invite to join a ticket.

[SoFloFreeper]

ok bye.

[Nuc 1.1]

Hell, I could have predicted he wouldn’t be anyone’s vice presidential candidate.

[Bigg Red]

And we have no interest in having you, John.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

John, there is also zero chance you will be the president of anything other than a local lodge of something or other.

[stephenjohnbanker]

The Republican Bernie Sanders ?

What’s not to like ?

: )

[GOPsterinMA]

The John Kasich of 20 years ago would have been a good, bold VP choice.

The John Kasich of today? Like most GOPs, he “went native” and is owned by the GOPe.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Yep the “E’ owns his soul, like Rubio is owned.

[GOPsterinMA]

As usual, you got that right.

[GOPsterinMA]

I’ll disclose this right up front: I’m a Trump fanatic and despise the Bushes.

I 100000000000000000000% DO NOT want ¡Yeb! as VP, VD, PCP, LSD, etc.

That said, he’s an interesting factoid: Since 1928, the GOP hasn’t won the presidency without either Nixon or a Bush on the ticket.

That streak will come to an end this November. No idea who Trump will pick for VP though.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” No idea who Trump will pick for VP though.”

Many of us are in this boat.

[GOPsterinMA]

My guesses were:

1. Jeff Sessions
2. Greg Abbott

Abbott’s out. Sessions would be great, but he’s the same age as Trump and he’s needed in the Senate (as a Senator).

I dunno.
