John Kasich New Book: Trump Won Election Because America in Spiritual Decline

Ohio Gov. John Kasich claimed in his new book that the reason President Trump won the election was because America is in a moral decline.

In Two Paths: America Divided or United, Kasich blamed Trump’s electoral win on groups ranging from the media to dishonest politicians, but he also said one of the main reasons Trump won was because of the spiritual decline in America.

“I happen to believe that you can’t guide an entire society without a shared religious foundation,” Kasich wrote. “I saw Trump’s reckless entreaties as a weakening of our shared American values — even more so, a coarsening of our shared American values … Donald Trump gave the impression of a man who would do or say anything to get attention, even incite a crowd to violence.”

Kasich also noted that Trump “gave millions of disenfranchised voters a voice.”

Open primaries are the cause of RINO's and eGOP, and lead to the dilution of political party values.
Ohio is just one of those 'Open Primary' States that give us the Kaisch; other States gave us the McClains, Romneys, Bushes and Ryans of the political watered down candidates.
One of the issues that needs to be addressed is the 'open' , or 'closed' primary in each individual State before we can have candidates with strong value convictions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_primaries_in_the_United_States

" First, one party could organize its voters to vote in the other party's primary and choose the candidate that they most agree with
or that they think their party could most easily defeat.
Secondly, in the open primary moderates and independent voters can vote in either party.
This occurrence may dilute the vote of a particular party and lead to a nominee who does not represent the views of his or her particular party."

It was journalist Salena Zito, who has sometimes been a bit of a FReeper (don’t know if she ever lurks anymore, but she had an account):
