Well, like I said, I wasn’t commenting about agreement or disagreement with his positions. It was more a comment on the fact that Kasich tends to be successful in getting votes and winning elections, which is something that is necessary in politics if you’re going to be an effective agent for advancing political goals. My impression is that often conservatives don’t seem to grasp the notion that if you lose elections you aren’t going to have much chance to change things.
True, but if the candidate basically adopts a liberal philosophy there won’t be change anyway.
