Gov. Jon Kasich (R-Ohio) slammed GOP leadership on Thursday, saying the "Republican Party has gone dormant" and criticizing its lack of action on helping young immigrants in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
Kasich on CNN praised the group of Republican lawmakers who are bypassing leadership to force a floor vote on immigration bills.
"What you’re seeing happening now is that there are a group of Republicans who are getting fed up with inaction for these young people," Kasich said. "What you’re seeing is a group of people saying we’ve had enough, we don’t care about the political, we want to achieve something that we think is justice and it’s really cool thing."
Kasich added that Republicans shouldn't care if a measure to protect DACA recipients does not have President Trump's support.
"It doesn’t matter whether the President Trump is going to sign it or not," Kasich said. "Send it to him. Let him veto it. Let him say that he wants 800,000 people to be shipped out of the country. Eight-hundred thousand people that there’s no reason to ship them out of the country.
"I like [House Speaker] Paul (Ryan). On this issue, I just think he's dead wrong. I think the Republican Party has gone dormant," Kasich added.
The critical statements from Kasich also echo comments from former House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Thursday.
"There is no Republican Party. There’s a Trump party," Boehner said at the Mackinac Policy Conference in Michigan.

On what planet does he speak for the republican party?
Buckeyes got it wrong with Kasich!
Kasich, Flake, McShame, now Romney and Jeb and...etc.... all stark-raving nuts.
Must be something in the water?
(or drugs maybe?)
‘Republican Party has gone dormant’, said the Dormouse...................
Or that pesky IG report coming out.
The obese cuckold Kasich is a worthless piece of bull crap
You stupid ass Kasich, the Republican party is now owned and operated by Donald J. Trump.
Add this ass to the long list of Ohio tragedies: Metzenbaum, Kucinich, Voinovich, Sherrod Brown, and the list goes on and on and on.
K-sick has gone “doormat”.
Shut up ash hole and sort the mail.
The Deep State is strong in this one.
No, but he does use Ambien.
Who is this person who speaks to me as though I needed his advice?
He reminds me of the Dormouse in Alice in Wonderland. McCain is the Mad Hatter, Romney is the March Hare........................
Kasich is the worst kind of RINO. He’s right down there with McCain, Corker, Graham, Flake, etc. etc.
The GOP he envisions is a neutered GOP; not one the American people want. We want guys like Jim Jordan and Donald Trump who stand up to leftist (lack of) values. Speaking of neutered; I’m guessing Kasich had his snipped off at birth.
That’s not all that’s ‘deep’ and ‘strong’ with this one....................
Well said!
Trying so very hard to be hip. Failing miserably.......
