***He said that Kasich was the most pompous, arrogant jerk of a politician he had ever met in his life, this coming from a person who has met more than his fair share of pompous politicians.***
My daughter also has had the misfortune to be in a servile position for Kasich, up close and personal, on one occasion. She said the same thing about him in almost the exact same words. If I recall correctly, she used “pompous, arrogant, and self-important.”
Before this “opportunity” she had thought very much of him, because she met him when she was a young girl, maybe 10. She was with her best friend and her parents, and Kasich was campaigning for Congress back then. They had gone to do some shopping, and low and behold, Kasich was there. He shook her hand, and smiled at her, and gave her some sort of compliment.
That stayed with her a long time, and I think she went into this occasion with positive thoughts of him that day. It all changed by the end of the day. She was almost bitter about him after that. He must have really been a total ass to get her to make a 180 degree turn in her view of him.
If a person thinks so highly of himself and so little of the people serving under him, especially when it was someone who was volunteering, what do you think he feels about the voters who make his pompous lifestyle possible?
