John Kasich has 3 words of advice for Republicans torn over how to handle Donald Trump

Posted on 10/14/2016 7:46:13 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

John Kasich has a simple message for Republicans who are struggling with how to respond to the 2005 tape that leaked last week of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump boasting about using his celebrity status to grope women.

"Lead by example," he told Business Insider in a Thursday interview.

The Ohio governor and onetime 2016 presidential hopeful, who was the last Trump challenger to drop out of the GOP primary, released an extended response to the tape over the weekend. In that response, he said the tape was not "surprising to me or many others."

"Many people were angry and questioned why I would not endorse Donald Trump or attend the Republican convention," he said. "I've long had concerns with Donald Trump that go beyond his temperament."

He mentioned that the two had "substantive" policy differences on trade, Russia, and the budget, adding that Trump had not changed his "disqualifying" policy stances.

"I've also encouraged him to change his behavior for the better and offer a positive, inclusive vision for our country, but he has not," he said. "It's clear that he hasn't changed and has no interest in doing so. As a result, Donald Trump is a man I cannot and should not support."

Many Republicans had quickly condemned the leaked tape, in which Trump said he could "grab" women "by the p---y" because "when you're a star they let you do it.

I think Trump ought to come out and say he is going to run again in 2020 whether he wins or not. He certainly has my vote again given what has happened this year.

Maybe then Jeb and John would realize they are not going to be president unless they run in the Democrat primary.

This will be the last time an outsider is the nominee. The GOP and DNC will change the rules to make sure that from now on both candidates agree on the major issues of concern to the elite donor clase, namely open borders, cheap labor, and taxpayer support of the financial sector and military industrial complex.

It’s not Trump Kasich is not supporting. It’s us.

Kasich, I want to thank you for your input. We all know that you’re beyond reproach......perfect in every way. Now I just want to tell you how much I appreciate your words by telling you to screw yourself.......

This guy needs to piss off into retirement or something. He’s nothing but a millstone around our necks. I’m sick of RINOs and their self righteous prattling.

... Really JOHN didn’t you work at Lehman Bros??? So some the most foul raunchy talk in the world was at investment firms where the top producers were the rookies “role model.” These top producers bragged about getting all the pxxxy and they all acted like a pack of male dogs in heat. I know because I was there 1973 to 1991. Remember those stag parties and the “racing contest” with the hookers??

"Lead by example"

Aren't there some allegations of a sexual nature in Kasich's past? Now's not the time for him to get all holier than thou, I don't think.

The GOP doesn’t care about winning. They DO care about keeping their incumbency. If Trump wins, that comes into question.

If he is a trainwreck, they get tossed out in the next election. If he is successful, they will lose their gravy train.

The GOP has less to lose with Hillary than they with Trump.

He could be on fire in the middle of the road, and no incumbant is going to walk across the street to piss on him.

A pox on their houses.

“I have three words for him, but I can’t say them on this forum.”

GFY? Hell, all of them can do that so far as I am concerned.

Kasick, get over yourself. You're not that holy and above it all. If you are, then you're not fit to be governor because you can't relate to your constituents. Name one man, or woman for that matter, who has never had a bit of locker room banter.
