Weekly Standard ^ | March 23, 2018 | John McCormack

Ohio governor John Kasich is riding shotgun in a large black SUV that’s rolling through midtown Manhattan when he pulls out his smartphone and assumes the role of disc jockey. First up is Lou Reed’s “Perfect Day,” a piano-based melody. “I think about my wife when I hear this,” Kasich says. “Isn’t that a beautiful song?” He then switches to something more upbeat. “Remember this one, Doug?” Kasich asks his political aide Doug Preisse, who traveled everywhere with Kasich during his 2016 presidential campaign.

WOW, and I thought we had good drugs in the 60’s and 70’s, nothing compares to the drugs these journalists are taking to come up with tripe like this.

Kasich is a great leader that doesn’t actually have followers.

Does this man not have any other way to make money? Incredibly, there must be people clueless enough to pay him to run another campaign.

After what he’s done to the state, I doubt Kasich could win OH.

Kasich falls for the same con all milquetoast Republicans fall for - that he’s moderate enough to be loved by the liberal media, and they will embrace him going forward.

They love you while you’re performing a service, but once they’ve splattered your blue dress, they rub your head and kick you in the ass as they show you the door.

Cheap Labor Express stooge.

Kasuck is a Bush League Republican.
The ONLY thing that matters to Bush League Republicans is completing the GHW Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA).

I wish that were true, but his mission is the same as all Bush League Republicans, flooding the country with fraudulently documented foreigners to steal the country from the citizens.
