Pat Buchanan says the only cure for Presidential fever is rigor mortis.
Compare Gov. Kasich’s response to how a real man responds. In an interview shortly after the election, aboard Pres. Trump’s plane flying down to the Army-Navy game, Chris Wallace asked the then President-Elect how he affected by the news on election night. Trump said he was told by his daughter Ivanka that, based on the leaked exit polls, he had lost. He said he felt good. Not great, but good. Because he left it all out there on the field. He had done everything he could. Then, when the votes started to be tabulated in Florida and elsewhere, he thought he might win. He started feeling great.
I don’t begrudge anybody feeling badly when they lose, especially when defeat is sudden. Whether politics or sports. But, one thing that sports teaches you is how to deal with winning and losing. In this life, you have to give it all you can, and you have to be able to accept that the outcome isn’t entirely in your hands. Maybe Kasich never learned that lesson.
Politics can be analogized to sports only so long as the wrong outcome is not an existential threat to the whole country.
The Democrats and the RINOs are an existential threat, which is why they have to pretend that authentic Republicans, and Trump are such a threat.
This is why we are on the path to civil war.
Thanks to the Catholic bishops, who have been instrumental in certifying that murderers are good Catholics.
