It is people like Kasich that ENABLED the Hillary to come as close as she did to winning, and now have indirectly ENABLED the Democrats to continue this policy of discrediting the Trump victory.
Kasich and people like him that REFUSED to support Trump once he had the nomination locked up must NEVER BE FORGIVEN for what they’ve done. They need to be ‘cleansed’ out of the Republican Party, PERMANENTLY.
"Right to Work" legislation should be at the top of the list! KaSICK's goons made a half-assed try and failed and never went back to finish the job.
The same here. From neutral to weasel in a short time span. The onion begin to peel and with each layer cast aside, the remains make one cry.
Cruz is on the mend...he still bears watching but seems much improved since Trump's election.
Yeah, with only an Ohio State U. political science degree and no private sector work experience (save for drug-dealing in the Nixon Administration as a young aide right out of college), he was made managing director at Lehman after 18 years in Congress. He made millions before Lehman filed for bankruptcy. At which point he returned to Fox News and politics. He's not even qualified to deliver Trump's mail. Maybe his father is, but not John.
The corruption in our government is NOT confined to just the Demonrat Party. As Trump drains the SWAMPS, expect Demonrats AND Repubs to start their fight against going to prison.
Is Kasich compromised/corrupt? We'll probably find out as we get a real Dept Of Justice that actually prosecutes crimes.
Start planning on a strategy to knock out Sherrod Brown and Marcy Kaptur! That should be the First priority of the Ohio GOP.
The republicans of Kasich’s time in Congress, the 1990s, balanced a budget based on sham and tricks.
Clinton (BJ) had recklessly refi’d 30-year treasury debt for lower interest 5-year debt creating a short-term windfall to the Treasury. The newly freed up revenue from debt servicing was used to ‘balance’ the federal budget in conjunction with taking social security liabilities off the books.
Sham schemes and accounting gimmicks are not what any sincere accountant would call ‘balancing’ an out of control federal government.
But Congress and Clinton hoisted this sham up to take credit for it while the press blasted the public with the false meme of a historic balance budgeting act by Clinton and Congress.
To this day they still proclaim it as an achievement.
Here’s an apt analogy:
“Bill is driving a van on the highway and wants to get to Peoria by noon. It is presently 11:00 am and Peoria is 120 miles away. The speed limit is 60 mph.”
“Bill and his passengers decide to hypnotize themselves that the speed limit is 120 mph. Bill accelerates the van to 120 mph without regard to other drivers on the highway or to the engine steaming under the hood. To calm some of this elderly passengers, Bill gives them sleeping pills, pillows, and blankets.”
“Bill arrives in Peoria at noon and the passengers that are awake but under hypnosis all laud each other that they have made possible the impossible. The van is steaming and nearly wrecked. Some of the elderly passengers are still asleep in the van.”
Meanwhile, the national debt was increased to account for the future social security liability.
Kasich as a member of Congress walked proudly, boisterously in front of the press with nonstop repetition of the feat of ‘balancing the budget’.
As for Kasich as governor, his state received a wave of revenues from fracking expansion, a wave that has since died down. It wasn’t Kasich that created those revenues. He was head of his state government that was the beneficiary of wildcat drillers who took a chance. The wildcatters are the real heros in the story, not Kasich.
Had there been no fracking boom, Kasich would have had to spend his state into a deeper deficit.
“...the left in this country still think Trump is a buffoon and unqualified...”
It’s been said elsewhere, but I’ll say it again; I don’t think anyone here would deny that Trump tends to be a bit - how shall we say - “hyberbolic” in his speech.
The problem with Trump’s detractors is that they take him LITERALLY - but not seriously. His supporters have learned to take him seriously - but not literally.
Kasich is the Joe Biden of the Republican Party.
Only without the brains and charisma lol.
Wasn’t his dad a mailman or something ? /S
I heard that somewhere too, but wouldn’t believe it unless I heard it from Kasich himself.
While we’re on the subject of Ohio, wondering if Ohio has caught the Pike County mass murderers yet...?
Payback is a bitch—and is a cruel mistress.
And Graham? Corker (TN)? RINOS. Corker wants the Governorship, we don’t want him, but he has the bucks, crooked as a rattler sidewinder.
Marcy Kaptur!
Didn’t she have a daughter who was in a TV series ?
Just jogging the ol’ memory thigamajig...
Thanks for the explanation, Hostage. I was a relative novice in things political in that time frame. It wasn’t until I went back to school and experienced the indoctrination that they now call education that I started paying more attention. That was around 1995. I also read “Atlas Shrugged” around that time frame, and could see the parallels to our wretched government of the time.
Kasich and team acted like (Dems) asses

Wonderful post to help explain things to the rest of us. You should have your own newspaper column (if you don’t already).
