John Kasich: GOP Candidate Said He Didn't Invite Trump To Ohio Rally

Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) on Sunday suggested that President Donald Trump appeared at a campaign rally in his state on Saturday without a direct invitation from the House candidate he came to tout.

Kasich, speaking on ABC’s “This Week,” said he asked state Sen. Troy Balderson, the Republican candidate for a U.S. House seat in a Tuesday special election, point blank why he invited Trump to campaign for him at his event in Delaware County.

“I asked him the other day, ‘Why are you bringing Trump in,’ said Kasich, who has been one of the GOP’s harshest critics of the president. Kasich said Balderson told him, “Well, I don’t have anything to do with it.”

It’s kind of hard to take Kanofshit seriously dealing with anything to do with conservatives .... he’s a progressive in RINO clothes.

That’s a good one, Kanofshit, the mailman’s kid.

I find it hard to believe that Trump wasn't invited. Sounds like Balderson is trying to play both sides of the fence.

You believe Kasich? Shame on you. I watched the rally. Balderson latched on to Trump like he was his father. He said he supports the Trump agenda without exception.

John Kasuck has not campaigned one second for Troy Balderson. If Balderson were smart, he would tell the Lame Duck Governor to stay the hell away from his campaign. Kasuck is a joke in Ohio and could not help any candidate in the elections.

My own precinct chairman was tossed out this Spring after a very long run because of his antics. Hopefully, that POS is gone for good.

That would be story worth retelling.

well, it seemed he was pretty happy to have Trump there stumping for him:

Hamilton County Board of Elections informs me that our precinct has quite decisively voted for Todd Cooper to be our new Precinct Executive. All I can say to that is "Thank God"! As many in our precinct are aware, yours truly is not getting any younger. And as I'm sure you are also aware, being a precinct executive is a young man's game. . . . . As for the future of the GOP, I believe it's up to all of us to return the Republican Party to its core principles and to do so while emulating Ronald Reagan's 11th Commandment, "Never speak ill of a fellow Republican." Thank you and farewell, Jeff Dorrance __________________________________________________________ TO: Jeff Dorrance Date: May 10, 2018 Subject: Re: A Thank You & Farewell Sadly, you not only broke that Commandment, you shattered it by defaming our President. Which is why, you are no longer Precinct Executive. It has nothing to do with youth and everything to do with ideology. I think that Mr Kasich will be forming a new party. Perhaps you can find a home there. Anton

Last time I checked....its a free country where people can go where they wish

Go eat another sandwich on camera, moron.

Kasich has reservations for a seat in CNN or MSNBC...I can bet on it, once his governorship is history.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

I would bet you are right. Sickening. Well, he will just drop into the rabid rabbit hole of the lamestream media and will find out how irrelevant he really is.
