Kasich slams GOP leadership: 'Republican Party has gone dormant'
The Hill ^ | 05/31/18 | Justin Wise

Posted on 05/31/2018 10:58:05 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

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.

The lame duck governor of Ohio is an abject FAILURE.

If “Republicans” don’t like Trump at the head of the party, they need to find another party.

Because he has the support of at least 90% of registered Republican voters.

>>Kasich, Flake, McShame, now Romney and Jeb and...etc.... all stark-raving nuts.

Not nuts. Just Globalists who work for people who want to cheapen American labor (and standard of living) to make us “competitive” in the global labor market.

The only difference between them and the Progressive Democrats is who your master should be. Freedom is not in their plan for the future of this nation. In fact, having a nation is not in their plan.

I sure hope that no one posts a picture of the disgusting way that Kasich crams food into his mouth.

Good God. Ohio is #1 at producing so many GOP-E douchebags. I would be happy if we could just deport Kasich, Boehner, Rob Portmann, Mike Dewine....

Mike Turner is the only good Ohio GOP guy that I know of. I have met him several times and he is a good conservative whose family moved up to Dayton from Kentucky when he was a kid.

Kasich — GOP ‘dormant’

Boehner - GOP ‘taking a nap’

MiTT - Nap inducing GOP candidate for Senate?

Things change.. Things stay the same.. for some.

"The Republican party has gone dormant ..."

You mean the Republican Party has become a door mat.
A door mat for the Democrats and the Globalists.
The Republican Party establishment has prostituted itself out
to just about every anti-American group on the planet.
Now that Trump wants to put a stop to the sell-out
the GOP establishment and their left-wing Democrat friends
are crying like babies who need a diaper change.

It used to be that both parties opposed illegal immigration. There were no “dreamers’ before obama— the concept didn’t exist.

the extremists, properly defined, are those who are for illegal immigration.

Kasich is a retard.

I apologize for our Governor's extreme bias on immigration. The purpose of an immigration policy must always be to serve the interests & heritage of our rooted citizens. Anything else involves rationalizations that will not scan in the light of reason.

An American Immigration Policy

"There is no Republican Party. There’s a Trump party"

Then why wasn't it passed before Trump was elected and Obama was president, John? Why did Obama have to do it by executive action instead of going through Congress? Why didn't he do it when the Dems controlled Congress? What a freakin idiot.

Has this guy been watching the last eight or so years? The republican party has been not just dormant, but supine and on its back hoping the press and democrats would tickle its belly for too long. Trump has provided an alarm clock but the party is too entrenched in its corruption of inertia to respond. And clown democrats like kasich are no solution.
