Kasich rules out vice president role, is open to Dem running mate [not satire]
Washington Examiner ^ | 3/23/2016 | Ryan Lovelace

Posted on 03/23/2016 5:15:22 PM PDT by huldah1776

Ohio Gov. John Kasich said he isn't willing to serve as anyone's vice president, but he indicated party affiliation would not matter to him when choosing his own running mate.

After losing the Arizona primary and trailing a candidate who is no longer running for president, Kasich hit the campaign trail in Wisconsin and told voters only he could beat the Democrats in November.

*********snip-it********

The questioner then asked whether the Ohio governor would consider selecting a Democrat as his vice presidential running mate. Kasich avoided immediately answering the question before indicating he would not rule out working with a Democrat.

Kasich’s plan is to keep taking away Cruz votes so that Trump can win the GOP nomination.

Then he will be President Clinton’s Vice President

Hmmm, maybe.

Problem is, Hillary would likely prefer Weasely Clark (my "friendly" wager) or Gov. Moonbeam (outside chance).

Rubio dropping out was supposed to help his debate pal Ted.
The other day in AZ, Ted lost to `Other.’
This cloud-cuckoo thinking is like Hitler demanding non-existent divisions for the defense of Berlin.

Not just the last month. He overrode his own legislature through the backdoor to bring Obamacare to Ohio.

He’s been a kook for a while.

ok. Just imagine.

Hmmm.

Kasich / Brown (Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown)

Kasich / Emmanuel (Rahmbo!!!)

Anyway, does he think that is going to earn him the Republican nomination? Really?

Kasich picks Bernie and they run third party.

I heard Johnny boy Kasich spent his summers swimming in the Ohio River downstream from the Dupont chemical plant. Wouldn’t rule out a diagnosis stemming from a bioaccumulation of some nasty toxins.

Ah, but if Kaisch drops out, Trump gets all 66 Ohio delegates, according to Ohio election law.

Seems that your man loses either way now that said state is done with.

Well, Kasich is practically a democrat.

I’m glad he has ruled out being a VP. If Trump selected him, Trump would have a huge target on his back from every liberal, everybody making money off the offshoring of American jobs and industries including foreign countries, every illegal immigrant activist, etc.

Trump needs somebody more in line with his platform. Not sure who that is. Probably not a current candidate.

Bernie Sanders is the current candidate closest to Trump’s platform.

Hey, Krazy Kasich — when you’re done running for POTUS, DO NOT come back to Ohio!!!! You haven’t been here for months — and the state is just fine without you. Please, please, keep on running — far, far away!!!!

Kasich is worse by the day. He needs help to face the hard cold reality that he has only the support of liberals.

So he won’t work with Cruz OR Trump. He will work with a democrat. Tells you a lot about where he stands politically, doesn’t it? Also tells you alot about how the establishment views Cruz since the best move to stop Trump is to unite around Cruz.

Since they’re going to every other possible length to avoid rallying around Cruz and Trump who represent ~65% of their party, up to and including encouraging electoral college not to vote for their delegates, it’s obvious to me that the rank-and-file Republicans like Kasich are closer to the Democrats than they are the base of their party.

And that is exactly the problem
