People talk about Ted Cruz being ‘creepy’. I disagree. The creepy on is Kasich. Kasich always seems one word away from losing it. He could simply be worn down by this long dirge of a campaign year. All the work Kasich and the other governors are doing, and they barely register. This may be Kasich’s biggest moment of the race, followed by a slow fade ala Carson.
Kasich doesn’t come across as patrician as Yeb, as loud as mogul Trump, as canned as Rubio or as polarizing as Cruz. He seems to fit right in the middle.
And his breakout performance in NH testifies to it. He could be what anti-Trump Republicans are looking for to stop the Trump juggernaut. Kasich’s problem is no one else will exit the establishment lane to allow him to do it.
I like Kasich,... almost. He was good when he was in congress, he worked for smaller government and less spending. And he did some good things in Ohio. He did what Walker did vis-a-vis public unions in Wisconsin. And the same as was done in Indiana and Michigan. But in Ohio’s case alone, most of the reforms were rolled back. He lost to the government unions. Which was the problem with Kasich then, as it is now.
Kasich is not a real leader. He can’t move the public. I wonder if he can even carry Ohio if he were a VP candidate. On the good side of things, he knows the right thing, he does the right thing, and he may be helpful in Ohio. But if he can’t lead people, then maybe Christie or Carly are better choices for VP.
the GOP base rewarded obstructionist Sen. Ted Cruz........
........Obstructionist....... and people wonder why the media...even supposed Conservative media, go for Trump or Cruz. People are sick of the “Bob-lets make a deal-Dole” type of politician. It is past time to push back and retake the ground the GOP has conceded to the Progressivews/Communists for 80 years. It is not time to negotiate compromises. It is time in this country to either return us to the roots of small centralized government by the ballot box. In 2018 if change is not obvious, the bullet box will follow. No Ryan sellout dance is going to do it.
I wonder how many future American citizens are being killed in OHIO every day before they get a chance to be born?
Life; liberty and the pursuit of happiness...
