MANCHESTER, N.H. - Embittered “Never Trump” Republicans tied to former Ohio Gov. John Kasich have secretly schemed to assist Joe Biden’s campaign - because they think he’s the only Democrat who can beat the president and help them get “revenge,” The Post has learned.
Emails obtained by The Post show that two top staffers from Kasich’s failed, 2016 primary campaign and Ohio’s former GOP chairman, a Kasich ally, were among those involved in efforts to boost support for the former vice president in last week’s botched Iowa caucus and Tuesday’s New Hampshire primary.
Funding for the plan came largely from two deep-pocketed Democratic donors - former Microsoft president Jon Shirley and his wife, Kimberly - who’ve made maximum contributions to Biden and hosted a fund-raiser for him last year, records also show.
“They think Biden is the only candidate who can beat Trump at the general election,” said a GOP source familiar with the strategy.
Documents attached to one email show the group planned to identify and target at least 5,000 Democrats “from the conservative voter base” in each of Iowa’s four congressional districts, then use that information in “suppression, persuasion and GOTV [get out the vote] efforts.”

Fingers crossed that Kasich lost his shirt on this one.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
That is some seriously defective thinking.
Both of them?
Is this a joke, or does it just sound like it?
Kasich is a crook....................
I thought of expected Bill Kristol and crew to back a Democrat. I didn’t know they would back a colossal flop! Geez.
The only democrat that could be Trumpo is Tulsi Gabbard. All she would have to do is wear a bikini in the first debate, and it would be over.
I really miss the 2016 Republican primary. DJTs dismantling of these phony Republicans was simply hilarious :)
‘Never Trump’ Republicans planning to identify and target at least 5,000 Democrats “from the conservative voter base” isn’t worth one green loogie.
You took the words right out of my mouth!!!!!
Shows you how little power the never-trumpers have.
WOW what is that 10 votes that should put Biden over the finish line!!!
Please do it nevertrumpers. You sure know how to pic a winner.
Kasich’s dad may be a mailman, but Kasich is a piece of shingle.
Haha....only senile Joe Biden would partner with that stable of losers.
Will someone shove a burger in kasicks pie hole.
“The only democrat that could be Trumpo is Tulsi Gabbard. All she would have to do is wear a bikini in the first debate, and it would be over.”
Also keep her mouth shut and not say a word.
“They think Biden is the only candidate who can beat Trump at the general election,”
He hasn’t even begun with Biden yet. In the unlikely chance that Biden wins the nomination, President Trump will go after him in ways he cannot even imagine. His tough-guy impersonation won’t work on PDJT.
My hope is that the Democrats will have a different primary winner in each of the early contests. The Never Trumpers will hopefully bankrupt themselves helping that to happen.
