Elections matter. John you lost - poorly

I just do not understand what has happened to Kasich. Yes, I understand that he’s in a state that has a large democrat population (think Cleveland, Columbus, Youngstown, etc.). But he seems to have gone off the deep end of late.

And this from the guy that helped balance the budget in the mid 1990s, and saved Ohio’s budget from his democrat predecessor. Maybe he should stick to finance as it seems to be his only strong point.

I had a fairly neutral opinion of Kasich before the election. But, boy, did he ever show his true colors.

[Awgie]

Cruz and Kashit ran a close race for most despicable.

I live in Stark county where Timken lives...great family!

I also worked the RNC in Cleveland and people were not amused that Kasich didn’t attend. He did host a party at the Rock Hall for the Ohio delegates.

He’ll never get another vote from me, for anything.

“You’re going to get so tired of winning!” ... keep it coming ... MAGA

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

Awesome display of political acumen. Stupid politicians think they have a monopoly on politics? Politics is but one tactic of the strategy of power.

[Beautiful_Gracious_Skies]

But at least Kasich was eligible to attain the office for which he was running.

Wasn’t his dad a mailman or something ? /S

I was going to post exactly that and noticed your post from the corner of my eye

Spoils are the reason for the battle

[McGavin999]

Excellent. I hope she gets help from D.C. If she needs it.

[Popman]

Hopefully the 10 Democrat Senators in states where Trump won are taking notice...

I find it amusing the left in this country still think Trump is a buffoon and unqualified to be be POTUS...

I wonder how many times they will need to be bitch slapped to figure it out...?

[Eddie01]

Yeah, John’s dad was a mailman, an honorable guy unlike his son.

[weston]

His state hosted the GOP National Convention. He’s the GOP Governor of the state and he didn’t show up.
He was the host and he didn’t even welcome his guests.

It was an incredible show of ungracious petulance.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

The entire DeWine Ohio dynasty are lock, stock and barrel NWO Bushies. Remember the gang of 14 headed by McCain? Mike DeWine was one of his chief architects. We tossed him out of the Senate his very next election.

trump would be very wise to not let anyone named DeWine or associated with them near the controls of the Ohio GOP.

[freedomlover]

Can something PLEASE be done along the same lines with McCain ?

[bonehead4freedom]

This just shows that John Kasich is done and will spend the next 2 years as a dead duck. The new battle is to Keep Mike Dewine out of the Governor's Mansion for those who don't remember he was McCain's butt boy in the Senate and was just as obnoxious as Graham is now. Dewine likes to talk big at election time but goes into full Democrat ass kiss mode once he gets in. After 8 years of Kasich this is the last thing Ohio needs.
