John Kasich: Donald Trump’s Muslim ban ‘doesn’t represent what we are’

Washington Times ^ | 12/9/15 | Seth McLaughlin

Republican presidential candidate John Kasich said Wednesday that Donald Trump’s call to ban most Muslims from the United States would weaken the nation and “doesn’t represent what we are.”

“This is not what leads to a strong America,” Mr. Kasich said during an appearance at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York. “We have never been strong by focusing on things designed to divided us.”

Mr. Kasich also said that he is encouraged by how moderate Muslims have come out against the Islamic State terror group, or ISIS.

“They have condemned aggressively the attacks all over the word,” he said.

According to Pew Research, approximately 10 percent of world Muslims have a favorable opinion of the Islamic State and terror against civilians. That’s more than 100 million people.

And when the San Bernadino shooting proves we aren’t vetting those we let in for this critical factor, yes, stopping immigration of all Muslims is reasonable.

To John Kasich;

I see that you haven't qualified for the ballot for PA because of insufficient signatures.

If you've been receiving donations from people in PA to help you in the primary, don't you think you should return those?
And are you still taking donations from PA now for your primary run, even though you haven't qualified for their ballot there?

Yes, indeed, it did originate with Obama. Who trots it out every time someone disagrees with him in his quest to 'fundamentally change America'. But expecting a Washington clone like Kasich to notice that is well, beyond my pay scale, to use another Obama cliché.

To John Kasich;

Holy Smokes...Will you return their donations also?

Guess What? Kasich ALSO Didn’t Get Enough Signatures For The Illinois Ballot!

These insufficient signatures in PA and Illinois might not be true- hope you address this soon.

[DoughtyOne]

No, it just represents who we ought to be.

Of course unless national suicide is preferable to common sense.

[novemberslady]

Of course Kasich will still be on the ballot, because no one challenged the lack of signatures.
How convenient is that?

[AllAmericanGirl44]

Seriously! Along with his promise to sign into law amnesty, probably on his first day.

What an insufferable clod. I can’t imagine anyone getting motivated to vote for this pos.

[connyankee]

Who is this “we” he is talking about?

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

sounds like he was reading from Obama’s teleprompter

——John Kasich doesn’t speak for me and my family.

But, he’s the only “adult in the room”. Just ask him, he’ll spend 20 minutes telling you so.

[ColdSteelTalon]

Speak for yourself Johhny boy.

[Bubba Gump Shrimp]

so much for “I’m the guy who knows how to get things done”

[lakecumberlandvet]

WHY do we now have to make a point of importing millions of Muslims?
___

0bama is running out of time and needs to speed up the islamization of America. His fundamental transformation efforts needed a push. That is exactly why 0bama is trying to flood this country with muslims. It’s a historical fact that islamization destroys a country.

[The Toll]

Don’t worry, he’s working overtime to get as many crackers killed as possible.

From the link at #65

So Kasich will be on the ballot.
But considering that he couldn’t even scrape together a couple thousand signatures of people saying “sure it’s fine, you can run,” it’s hard to imagine he’s going to do well.

And people are still writing him checks?
hahahahaha!

[PrairieLady2]

what a numbnut. I guess THIS is what makes america strong?

Kasich apparently thinks all he has to do is win OH, and the game is over.

[ManHunter]

What a crock! I wish someone would ask him, “Can you name one ‘moderate’ imam or one Islamic organization that has consistently spoken out against terrorism?”

I was in Washington, DC, in early 2002 when a moderate imam in the DC area organized an anti-terrorism/pro-America rally in Lafayette Part, right across the street from the White House. There are probably between 200,000 and 300,00 Muslims in the DC metro area, but fewer than 50 people showed up at that rally and nearly half of them were members of the media desperately trying to get camera angles that made it look like many more.

[SaveFerris]

He should change his name to John Angela Merkel Kasich.

Or whatever it is Soros would like him to be known as.
