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.”

Kasich, it is not a compliment, you son of a mailman!

I have heard this from liberals and moderate Republicans about Kasich. They see him as democrat-lite, and know if elected he will make liberals very happy on most issues and probably nominate the next three Kagans to SCOTUS. Kasich’s “aw shucks, can’t we all get along” schtick is just “Republicans reaching across the aisle” with a new coat of paint.

Remember when kasich was . Budget chair in the house,and flew out to California to help his democrat buddy Gary Condit get reelected ? Then the crap hit the fan when Condit s gov employee young woman was murdered,eventually found in rock creek park. The police went to his residue filled brothel apartment,and he ended up quitting. Imagine how his wife felt. That mess ended their unholy relationship. I wonder how many ladies Johnny entertained with Condit.

I’m in Ohio and the economy isn’t all that bad to tell the truth. We still have pockets where jobs are scarce, but, that’s mainly in the southern part where the coal miners have lost their jobs - thanks to obama. Iasich is a biological Democrat, that’s for sure, and has some squishy ideas such as common core and expansion of Medicaid. However, to be fair he is very strong on life and the 2nd Amendment, so there’s that. I don’t want him for president though.

Kasich could be auditioning to be Hillary’s Veep, so maybe all the admiring Democrats would like that.

Mushy men are the product of progressive bullying and stigmatization of masculinity. The more masculinity can be sucked out of America the more dems will dominate. Johnny Boy is just playing into their hands.

If he ever got the nomination they would mutilate his mushy lameness and throw him on the bloody heap with Dole, McCain and Romney.

Gov. Walker supported and signed Right to Work in Wisconsin. He is out of the Presidential race. Kasich doesn’t support RTW, yet he is still in the race. What does that say?

Kasuck is a Democrat in an R jersey.

He’s hanging in hoping Rubio flames out and he can be the Cheap Labor Express amnesty candidate.

Liberals on Facebook will call people islamophobic when making a disparaging statement on Al Qaeda or IsIS, it is that pathetic. They are the true mouth of what Obama thinks!

Is this guy supposed to be a republican? He and Jeb? And Rubio and Christie and someone else I could name — should run for the D nomination.
