John Kasich Stunned GOP Isn't Defending Democracy Against Trump
The Huff Post via Yahoo! News ^ | November 23, 2020 | by Mary Papenfuss

John Kasich, the former Ohio governor who unsuccessfully ran for president in 2016, said Sunday that he found it “amazing” that fellow Republicans are “sitting on their hands” and refusing to defend the integrity of the election against President Donald Trump.

Kasich, a frequent Trump critic, said on National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered” that he believes the lack of action is because Republicans are “either in complete lockstep” with Trump - “or they’re afraid of him.”

The GOP’s part in enabling Trump is “extremely disappointing for someone who has been a Republican all of my life,” he added.

Kasich called Trump’s refusal to concede the election to President-elect Joe Biden “absurd.” Trump has repeatedly complained of massive fraud without a shred of evidence and is seeking to steal the election by convincing state lawmakers to disregard the vote.

Biden “clearly won this election, and it is just sort of amazing to me that Republicans just keep sitting on their hands. It makes no sense,” said Kasich, who endorsed Biden and spoke at the Democratic National Convention.

Kasich said the most dangerous aspect of Trump’s failure to concede is the hold up in the transition, which threatens national security and the battle against the coronavirus pandemic.

Whose side are you on, John? (I bet I can guess)
Salz, ny mag columnist “Republicanism is no longer a political problem; Republicanism is a social problem. It must be treated in the same way coronavirus is treated: it has to be isolated and snuffed-out by repressing it in about 70% of the general population.”

OR

Reagan Oct 1964-
“The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits — not animals.” And he said, “There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny.

We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness.“

They’re not just afraid of “him.”

They’re afraid of us.

And they should be.

Note the date of the article. Kasich didn’t drop out until a day later after Cruz dropped out on May 3, 2016. Kasich got smoked by both Trump and Cruz.

Since when did the Deep State become the definition of our republic?
It sure isn’t because they were democratically elected.

Kasich appears to be the new McCain, but without much power to do anything (and let's keep it that way).

RINOs & Democrats band together to launch full-court press against President Trump.

The vengeful Kasich sounds even angrier than vengeful Hillary.

Guy cannot get over how he was fried in the primary.

He was beyond annoying to listen to.

He needs to make the switch official and stop pretending.
