I am not sure what Trump did in 2016 to invoke Kasich’s ire except beat him in the primaries. But Kasich even went so far as to speak at the 2016 Democratic National Convention and utter a lot of made up nonsense about Joe Biden.
““I know the measure of the man,” said Kasich, noting that he has known the longtime Delaware politician for 30 years. “He’s reasonable, faithful, respectful, and you know, no one pushes Joe around.”
“Joe Biden is a man for our times,” he said. “Times that call for all of us to take off our partisan hats and put our nation first, for ourselves and, of course, for our children.”
He deliberately chose to speak to the NAACP to avoid attending the RNC convention being held in the same week that year.
