E.J. Dionne Jr.: Why GOP should listen to Kasich

WASHINGTON — Republicans won't win the presidency in 2016 without making inroads in the Midwest. Happily for the GOP, two Midwestern governors are running for their party's nomination.

Both won re-election in 2014. The one from the state with more electoral votes won with 64 percent of the vote with wide appeal to Democrats and independents. The one from the smaller state got just 52 percent of the vote after a divisive campaign.

The former fought to have his state accept the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion. He made his case on moral grounds, arguing that at heaven's door, St. Peter is "probably not going to ask you much about what you did about keeping government small. But he is going to ask you what you did for the poor."

Like E J has the best interest of the GOP in mind.

St. Peter is "probably not going to ask you much about what you did about keeping government small. But he is going to ask you what you did for the poor."

Not making more of them would be a start.

E.J. Dionne only wishes the republicans harm.

[Rome2000]

Amazing that this guy gets paid in real American dollars to write demented drivel.

[Red Steel]

Ed Henry reporting on Fox tonight stated “Insiders” in the Hillary camp are really worried about the Kasich presidential campaign.

So who buys this?

[mgstarr]

Kasich won’t break single digits. Neither will Perry and his lovely glasses. Sorry, wishing won’t make it so.

[G Larry]

Kinda one a them thar anti-endorsements....

[sunrise_sunset]

Right, the guy who was a top executive at Lehman when it collapsed. No chance.

[nathanbedford]

Kasich's flip as governor can be read as Schwarzenegger lite.

[SoConPubbie]

You know your GOP POTUS candidacy is dead when a Marxist like E.J. Dionne is praising you.

[LongWayHome]

Yup.....Henry was pimping this loser on FOX. No accident.

[Viking2002]

Blow it out your ass, Mush Mouth. If the likes of you think Kasich is such a a good candidate, that's a bona fide kiss of death.

[eddie willers]

EJ.....I really, really think the Democrats should go with Bernie Sanders.

No, no....don’t thank me.

[RginTN]

Kaishich has embraced liberation theology.

The bible never promises utopian on earth brought by the govt.

[VRWCarea51]

Nah, he married a flaming liberal. She cut off his small set.

He hasn’t noticed the difference

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

I don’t see this guy having even a small chance.

[octex]

Why? ....Because he’s a cure for insomnia.

How about “Why the GOP should NOT listen to anything E J Dionne has to say”?
Because E J Dionne is a strong Obama/Democratic Party supporter who has consistently done everything that he could to make the GOP to lose in every election. Only the incredibly stupid GOPe makes their decisions based on what their sworn enemies tell them to do.
