John Kasich's name floated by rogue electors in unlikely plan

Columbus Dispatch ^ | December 6, 2016

Kasich is increasingly seen as the most acceptable Republican alternative to electors on both sides of the aisle, according to multiple electors familiar with the conversations. They note that Kasich defeated Trump in Ohio's primary, that the governor boasts a high approval rating in his state and that Kasich was reportedly under consideration to be Trump's vice president before he selected Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

Kasich is still breathing.

Hey Kasich, float this...

[jjotto]

Jim Hoft now writes for an Ohio newspaper?

Maybe I’m dense: WHO CARES WHO DEM ELECTORS VOTE FOR?

It has no bearing whatsoever on anything. And no, even if ALL Cankles’ electors voted for him, it wouldn’t work.

And no, even if some “rogue” GOP electors (and so far, there is only one, who may be yanked before he even gets there) go with them, they need a crapload.

And if it goes to the House, the HOUSE can only pick from among the TOP THREE vote getters. Utterly insane.

And what does our brave, principled Republican stalwart John Kasich have to say about this? One would think vehement denials would have been issued immediately. I don’t believe I’ve heard any such thing, though.

I don’t believe for a minute that kasich was ever under consideration for more than shoeshine boy by Trump.

Or possibly working in the mail room at one of the hotels.

By "multiple electors", they mean two people.

Someone is also strongly advocating Ed Sherdlu to the electors.

As my dad used to say in his more cynical moments, “*hit floats.”

[apillar]

To give Kasich credit he did come out yesterday and say he was aware of this plan, thought it was completely nuts and wanted no part of it.

[ClearCase_guy]

How about Bob Dole?

[ari-freedom]

After OSU, I can’t imagine anyone going for Kasich

[Junk Silver]

And many cats are actually space aliens.

Actually that’s more plausible than Kasich winning the Electoral College.

Hello Kasich,

[DJ Frisat]

"John Kasich's name floated by rogue electors ABJECT IDIOTS in unlikely plan."

[faithhopecharity]

The scab picking continues. Meanwhile, Trump continues to make America great again.

The Columbus Disgrace is a leftist rag. ALMOST as credible as the NY Times (except for the Sports section).

Is this the same John Kasich that used to attend the Gary Condit sex parties in Washington? His DNA was found on the wall during the Chandra Levy murder investigation. What a guy.

Kasich is a floater.
