‘Never Trump’ Republicans backing Joe Biden in NH primary, emails show (Kasich crew)
NY Post ^ | 2/10/20 | Ebony Bowden, Bruce Golding

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.”

True. I wouldn’t have thought Kasich was that foolish or stupid!

“The only democrat that could beat Trumpo is Tulsi Gabbard. All she would have to do is wear a bikini in the first debate, and it would be over.”

In your wildest dreams...

What better example could be given of the bad judgment of the Never-Trumpers.

Some wise person said that you can tell about the quality of a person by the enemies he has. Trump has the right enemies.

“I realized that he was the only Republican who wouldn’t be afraid to get in Hillary’s face and call her what she really is.”

Hah! Maybe that’s because he had around-the-clock security.

It’s actually pretty amazing that anyone thinks Biden is such a force to be reckoned with. The last few weeks have proven what a paper tiger he is. A senile paper tiger at that. He couldn’t win in 1988. He couldn’t win in 2008. And he can’t win now. Yes, he seems to poll well in the abstract for whatever reason, but once voters take a close look at him and have to start filling out actual ballots, most of ‘em take a hard pass on Ol’ Joe.

You know that they never were really conservatives. They hated their own American neighbors so much, that they’ve done a lot of damage to national security and stoked a growth of communism here. The pretenders are scum.

Kasich should apply to be a staffer in Mitt Romney’s future kingdom.

Kasich is probably desperate for money for the relatives. He needs some campaign cash.

Nobody who backs Biden is a Republican, no matter what they call themselves.

It was Thursday or maybe Wednesday mid-summer when
John was spending the afternoon hosting a BBQ with family and friends.

As he leaned forward to flip the burger patties his wife had purchased at Cosco, John was startled by a voice from beyond.

“John” the voice whispered, so faint it was barely audible. Then again a little louder, and one more time louder still.

John instantly recognized the voice, it was that his deceased father who was a mailman.

He leaned in closer to the patty and in a ghostly disembodied voice his father seemed to say, “I am so ashamed of you.” “I wish you were never born.” “The milkman did time for armed robbery.” “You’re probably his.”

...and with that, the drippings caught fire and flared 6’ in the air singing John’s eyebrows and turning the burgers, dogs and marinated chicken into charcoal briquettes.

n father and he said “I hate your guts”.
