Ive been reading some consultant/RINO twitter feeds.

Rubio needs to win Florida and Ohio.

IMO Trump wins Ohio with Porridge man John Kasich in the race.

Not buying you’re a conservative, Kasich. Nope. Good that you defund PP, but that’s not nearly enough.

[sagar]

Kasich is the most annoying pretender ever.

[SaveFerris]

Congrats, you both figured out his election-year posturing.

Good job.

[mlizzy]

Good bill to sign; congrats to Kasich.

"Planned Parenthood isn't explicitly named in the legislation, but the law will prevent more than $1 million in funding from the state health department from going to the nonprofit to fund programs such as HIV testing, health screenings and prevention of violence against women."

Oh, the irony. The worst violence against women IS abortion!

[CMailBag]

I thought Obamacare took care of EVERYTHING.

[BigBobber]

Ooh! Kasich defunded the “good” part of Planned Parenthood, too, Trump is going to be mad as hell.

Women will be dying in the streets and unable to get health care (according to Trump).

[big'ol_freeper]

Trump will too when he is president....

oh wait. never mind

[stevem]

"This legislation will have devastating consequences for women across Ohio

Same with all those babies scheduled to wake up dead. They will have to plan for that life they would otherwise be spared...of...

The bill was swiftly denounced by Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards

I am so thoroughly sick of the death cult i.e. the Democrat Party and all others for whom every live birth is a cosmic failure!!!

He was saying this morning on tv that he doesn’t understand why he’s not doing better in these primaries since everywhere he goes, democrats come up to him and tell him how much they like him.

So does this mean that Kasich is a right-wing extremist, but in drag?

Well, this still goes to show that ANY of these Republicans would be better than the alternative.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: Kasich is the most annoying pretender ever.

Regardless, I give him credit for doing the right thing. A Democrat would not have done what he did.

Whether a President Trump would do this given the chance at the federal level remains to be seen.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

It does not show me that. I understand that argument and that each person’s own conscience must lead them to the right decision. I’m not a lesser of two evils person. I know no one is perfect. At the same time that argument is used to repeatedly promote weakness. At some point you have to draw lines and make a stand.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: Congrats, you both figured out his election-year posturing.

Posturing or not HE DID IT. That’s the most important thing.

Whether a President Trump will do the same thing at the federal level remains to be seen.

[SeekAndFind]

RE: It does not show me that.

We have to part ways in this regard. We have to ask ourselves, which is better, funding PP with tax dollars or not?

Clearly the latter is better.

If the choice is between a flawed Republican who will do the right thing more often and a Democrat who won’t do any right thing, the choice is clear.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Liberals will just sue to restore the funding. You watch. Without fundamental wins, without restoring the republic, there is no real win.

[laweeks]

This sounds like the only thing he’s done that makes sense.
