The Case For John Kasich

John Kasich says the nation has a choice between "two paths." On one path is "fear" and "darkness." On the other path is guess who? a President Kasich.
In a speech on Tuesday, Kasich presented a stark choice between pessimism and optimism. The "path to darkness," he said, is a "political strategy based on exploiting Americans instead of lifting them up [that] inevitably leads to divisions, paranoia, isolation, and promises that can never, ever be fulfilled."
The other, he said, was about positivity: "We always roll up our sleeves and get to work when the going gets tough. And we have never, never, ever seen the American spirit fail."
Though he framed it as being about America's choices, it was pointedly about Republican voters' choices, with an intent to draw sharp distinctions between himself and his GOP presidential nomination opponents, Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.

If you want a President who will ensure that our colonization by Spanish-speaking peoples continues, Kasich is your guy.

He has consistently opposed Right to Work laws in Ohio. Cruz favors a National Right to Work law. Big difference, that!

I love how these leftists slobber all over RINO candidates during the primaries, then unleash the dogs of war the minute they accept the nomination.
To: Innovative
Doesn’t Rubio have more electoral votes than John?

NPR makes a case for John Kasich and in doing so reveals that Kasich is the closet Democrat I’ve always thought he was.

I would vote for Al Sharpton before I would vote for John Kasich. As far as I am concerned, he has no case.

No Kasich is not delusional. He is trying to sew up the VP spot and some say so in the GOP plank and the general election campaign.

As Donald Trump calls out the GOP for it's corrupt behavior, and the Bernie Sanders camp is fighting to take back the delegates that Clinton has purchased.........is there any wonder why America's Veterans have organized such a massive movement to restore our representative government? I hear people tell me all kinds of things, most of which they truly believe. Most of which, I just respond with kindness and let them know when they are ready for real change, we will be here, and we are a strength that most will not understand for a long time. We are Of the People, By the People, and For the People, a group of selfless servants that truly understand what an oath means. It is not about lip service and winning votes. It is about taking a stand for what is right, taking a stand for liberty and justice for all Americans. When you finally realize that the two parties are too cancerous and corrupt at the top to be saved. We will be here, ready to do what needs to be done. There is a ton of work and we are always looking for additional leaders that can provide workable and Constitutional solutions to the very real problems we face. This is about uniting the divided nation. This is about bringing government back to the People, where it belongs. When you are ready, just remember this. #IAMSOMEONE and so are you, together #WEARETHESOLUTION www.ChrisKeniston2016.com www.VeteransPartyofAmerica.org www.vpofa.org

“He is trying to sew up the VP spot and some say so in the GOP plank and the general election campaign.”
He should not get to be anyone’s VP selection. He cannot be trusted.

His positions are, in some cases, further left than Hillary. This guy is unbelievable.

Well actually John Kasich is a loyal party foot soldier similar to Joe Biden. He would make a good VP as he would help win OH a must win swing state and be a good President of the Senate casting the tie breaking vote and helping Trump usher his legislative agenda through the Senate. He wants to be VP as he knows he will not be President.
