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!
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.
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.
Correction :’Christie and Obama’ not Trump and Obama.
It’ll be Christie for Veep. Trump’s new poodle.
St Bernard.
YUCK!!!!!!!!!!
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.
That would figure. I wish there was a negative vote.
