On Wednesdayâs broadcast of Fox News Channelâs âHannity,â Gov. John Kasich (R-OH), a candidate for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, reacted to the claim that he is a so-called establishment candidate, given his finish in New Hampshire and compared to two of the front-runners, Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), that he is running against.
Kasich dismissed the label of âestablishmentâ and touted his record in Congress as proof that he didnât go along to get along as an establishment politician might do.
âIâm not establishment,â Kasich said. âSean, I make the establishment upset. ...

“Actually, I’m a dog,” said the cat.
“I was indeed part of the establishment -— with Newt Gringrich and his revolution when we took back Congress and actually did things, like bring the President to OUR table and balanced budgets. Lately I’ve been a Gov and any Gov can tell you that running a state is a permanent battle against the Washington establishment.”
How hard was that.
Amateurs.
Oh yeah, Kasich, you are sooooooo establishment. You reek of business as usual, campaign with a wink and a nod to your masters.
How is it all these politicians worked in govt or on Wall Street but can claim with a straight face they are not “establishment”?
A week ago they were talking about how open to compromise they were.
Now its all gun rights and "I'm a maverick".
Kasich wants us all to hug it out. How’s that for a presidential policy. If I tried to hug my neighbor this morning and he would reach for his gun - as he should as would I if situation was reversed. Kasich, take your hugs for vote campaign back home.
No, Kasich is WORSE. Mr. Commoncore Obamacare
If you have to say you are not, then you likely are.
and Don’t forget Voinavich and deWhine
But in his defense he's not as far left as Bernie. He said so...and many Independents voted for him in NH for just that reason.
Then something snapped. In OH, his idea "of conservative" is the deep pocket elite who would love to have a President who is sold out to globalist and other corporate interests. For OH, that's where all the money goes, lining their pockets. The cities and towns have been starved of necessary funds (that come from taxes WE pay) so Kasich can bloviate about the terrific state budget. There is a reliably conservative legislature in OH, but Kasich's main skill has been to get around anything they vote for that doesn't fit his liberal agenda.
I've been cyber-screaming this. Why folks didn't work to get Kasich out of it early, I'll never know. He is a smart campaigner once he sees a path to victory. And I suspect he'll sell out to anyone.
LOL
Just, LOL
See, I already forgot these two jerks. Sorry America
Lying is easy for a politician. Kasich is a politician.
I’ve lived in Ohio all my life. I can’t believe Kasich is saying “he is not establishment” B*llS**t!! Kasich is the Ohio GOP establishment. Kasich says, jump; they ask, how high?
As I look at the candidates I like Kasich. Trump too abrasive...Ted Cruz to dark....Rubio wants to go to war with Syria....Kasich starting to seem best choice.
Trust me. He’s not your best choice. Admittedly, being in Illinois Jeb Junior must seem like Barry Goldwater to you.
Phil Crane’s line to John Anderson in 1980 applies to Kasich today:
“John, you’re the classiest Democrat running.”
The son of a Mailman! Really? There is a problem with this RINO, he is a sellout snake oil salesman!!
