TRUMP/KASICH 2016 (Vanity)
3/4/2016 | self

Posted on 03/04/2016 8:38:37 AM PST by 1Old Pro

If Kasich wins Ohio, we will see a Trump/Kasich ticket.

Why Kasich?

1) If he can carry Ohio in a significant fashion it will be extremely helpful for the electoral politics in which the GOP is disadvantaged. 2) Trump will want to balance the ticket with experience and someone like him who believes they can work with Dems as necessary to make progress. (Not every time like the GOPe) 3) Kasich brings a sense of quiet and calmness to the ticket which will get some who are nervous about Trump onboard. 4) Kasich is a conservative and has decent real life successes in government. 5) Kasich has foreign policy experience. 6) It's a good fit and there are little wounds to heal as both tend not to attack each other in a fashion that cannot easily be overcome - unlike both Rubio and Cruz.

Just because I don’t want him for my governor doesn’t mean I want him as veep. All the Dems I know that plan on voting for Trump, because he is a Dem, will switch and vote for Cankles if Kasich is the veep. They will be hard pressed to get Ohio.

I will not be surprised to see Trump pick Kasich for VP. He will need to mend fences with the party and Kasich is nothing if not a good party foot soldier. He knows how to take orders and he knows everybody in Congress. Kasich as President of the Senate would likely be effective in helping shepherd Trumps legislative agenda through as well as being the tie vote.

Truthfully even though Kasich is too moderate for me on many issues he is qualified to be President and God forbid Trump woke up dead one morning he could take over to serve out a term.

That being said Trump will probably pick somebody we can’t even think of. LOL!

RE:”If Trump chooses Kasich as his running mate, it would be a strong signal that he will be moving toward progressivism. A possible deal breaker.
....
Trump supporters don't care. He could pick Nancy Pelosi as his running mate and they'd say its a sign that Nancy sees the light now and is going to abandon her liberal policies and help The Donald make America great again.

Exhibit A :Fatso Chris Christie

All the comments here praising him as some hero....
I posted a picture of fat boy hugging Obama,
and a Trumpeter replies to it with a picture of Reagan with Tip O’ Neil as if they are Trump and Obama.

Trump seems to have the mind control powers of Jim Jones, over some.

When a presumptive President asks you to serve your country, you do. Just like the generals will do.

Maybe in more civilized days. Nowadays I can see any number of people refusing to serve in a Trump administration, mostly for ego and ambition but some, I'm sure, because they just flat detest the man.

If there’s one RINO I like less than Trump, it’s John Gay’s Itch. His platform seems to be “Find a gay illegal, give him 5 bucks and a hug”.

4) is a non-starter...He is not conservative. He’s pro-commiecare, pro big government and he used to be conservative but he drank the Potomac water for too many years. Conservative Ohions like me despise him.

What Nancy? You're on to something there. That would get a big whatever into the WhiteTrumpHouse. Besides she could deliver California!
