This does not make me want him more as the GOP nominee. I think he has been out of the spotlight for too long, and most don’t remember Kasich from CNN or do and it doesn’t matter. Kasich suffers from the same thing that blocks Bobby Jindahl from making much electoral progress, that being a wonky and somewhat colorless on the job personality.

He suffers from much more than a bland personality...he can, at a moment’s notice, shed his conservative beliefs like a snake sheds his skin!

The level of welfare and national debt are bigger threats to the future of this country than any outside enemies.

Bobby Jindal & Kasich are at opposite ends of conservative spectrum. Also, Kasich was never a Rhodes Scholar like Jindal was. Therefore I would not accuse Kasich of being wonkish. However Kasich is a good republican, much preferred over any democRat.

I think Kasich has a great down to earth, entertaining personality. The medicaid expansion however, was really dumb.

The Ohio legislature has moved to force every man, woman, and child on Medicaid in Ohio to maintain healthcare spending accounts which should help offset the costs of their healthcare. We all agree here in the medical field that as long as they don’t have to spend a dime on their healthcare, there will be no way to control their accumulating costs.

I don’t know. Not seeing what they would gain, but any nuke landing an American soil from Iran could be the end of the country.
But welfare and national debt are a close second, imho.

I don’t think we have the resources to spread to two more candidates anyway. The quicker we get around Ted the better. I did my job tonight. Told all the menfolk in the family about Rubio’s 35% tax for anybody making 75k or more. In NY that is a joke. Crushed him in their eyes and keep touting Cruz.

But the editorials keep telling me what a smashing success Obamacare is.

“and at greater cost than anticipated.”

Gee, they mean a government program cost way more than they originally thought it would? Who knew???

Idiots.

However Kasich is a good Republican...

He is not!! The OH legislature voted down Medicaid expansion. Kasich had to go through a lot of sleazy maneuvers to provide that big payout to his corporate buddies who profit from it. His balanced budget? It starves small cities and towns while it lines the pockets of construction buddies for unnecessary and sometimes damaging projects. Did you know he gave EXTRA money to the Cleveland school system, while other systems struggle to maintain their excellence?

Watch out for Kasich. He's an excellent campaigner. He'll campaign for the little folk, but he seems to be all bought and paid for by the big-money crowd.

Thanks for the Kasich/0bolaCare clarification. How quickly some forget.

Reminds me of another Ohioan....Boehner :(

Kasich thinks its his God given duty to help other people with the citizens tax dollars. He is hopeless...

Do you vote in OHIO?? If not, you are wasting your time on this thread.

And YES I support Gov. Kasich and have seen him close up!
