Kasich: "Democrats walk up and say, hey, we like you, we hope you're going to be the Republican."
Cnn Pressroom ^ | 2/21/2016

Kasich on relationship with democrats: “TAPPER:Why do you think so many conservatives look at you as not one of them] KASICH: I don't know. It's a mystery to me. When you've balanced as many budgets as I have, cut as much taxes, been for as much school choice, reformed welfare, end the entitlement, go through all of this, grow government at a very small amount. I - I don't understand it, other than maybe sometimes I say we need to work together with the Democrats because I believe that everybody ought to have an opportunity to rise. You know, the mentally ill, the drug-addicted. I don't know, maybe that - they don't like that tone. But the only reason I said what I said is I have had so many Democrats walk up to me and say, hey, we like you, we hope you're going to be the Republican. We're not going to vote for you in the fall, but, you know, we - we think you - you make a lot of sense.You know, look, I'm in a Republican primary, but if any - whoever is going to like me, I consider that to be a good thing. But it shows my ability, perhaps, to reassemble that old Reagan coalition, those blue collar Democrats. That's what my father was. So I think I might send a signal out that it's safe if you're a Democrat and you're a conservative to look at a Republican.”

They just want a republican candidate who is guaranteed to lose to THE BEAST.

"Democrats walk up and say, hey, we like you, we hope you're going to be the Republican."

Of course they still won't vote for him.

The Democrats are now a party of extremism, resentment, and sometimes hatred. In general they have very, very little idea of what ‘reasonable’ is, but they think Kasich is one of the ‘reasonable’ candidates.

Democrats walk up and say, hey, we like you because we think our candidate can beat you, so we hope you’re going to be the Republican candidate.

Kasich, this doesn’t tell you that you may be just a little too cozy with Leftist ideology?

Someone buy this corpse a clue.

I don’t think Kasich is as naïve as he lets on.

...because Kasich keeps talking about how everything in Ohio is dreamy and great already because of him (he sounds like Obama spouting off how great everything is... because of him).

It’s a broken record.

Unrealistic.

People in Ohio are not happy about the economy, both in Ohio and the entire country.

Get a grip Kasich, you are stuck at 7% until you drop out... and you should have dropped out already.

Unrealistic, twice over.

Trump scares the hell out of them. They know that he's got a pen and a phone too, and that he'll do anything to win. Not only that, he ranks right up there with Conan the Barbarian when it comes to dealing with enemies.

Kasich' on the other hand, is so different that he's essentially the anti-Trump. And as Hillary stumbles and Bernie mumbles they see the possibility that something apocalyptic is about to befall their party, and they are scared.

Maybe Johnny should be running in the Democrat campaign against Cankles and Vladimir!

Why is this guy still running? K-Sick shows an amazing lack of good judgement aside from saddling my state with a formidable Medicaid bill.
