Conscience can be a prickly thing sometimes. Where is John Kasich’s internal moral compass pointing to? Having a deep visceral hate for all things Trump is a hazardous position to take, as it tends to obscure any critical thinking on whatever subject is brought up.

The question is simple. For a few short years, everything was looking better and better all the time, a rising tide raises all boats. Then a totally unexpected torpedo, or scores of them, tore through the fleet of rising ships.

There were casualties. But lifeboats were swiftly launched, and the massive rescue was underway, guiding all the survivors back to safe haven, with the expectation that the former glory will be restored with all deliberate speed and no undue haste.

But there was a competing vision of the course of events, that this was a horrible calamity from which NOBODY can recover, and we must scrap the rescue mission entirely, allowing what few survivors that then remained to drift helplessly, the safe haven forever beyond their reach.

Which point of view do you trust and can put your faith into, to resolve this great divide that has come upon the collective thinking of the remaining survivors? There seems to be no consensus as to the most practical course of action, but there are also no conversations going on by which the situation may be settled.

Even the most bitter of divorces eventually gets adjudicated. Even if only by one or the other participants dying first, making the whole point moot.
