Team Kasich Appears To Declare War On Trump By Trying To Take Over Ohio GOP
Hot Air ^ | 02/21/18

Posted on 02/21/2018 7:11:02 PM PST by Liberty7732

John Kasich has lost considerable power since his failed 2016 presidential run. In addition to having his dream of occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. elude him, he also lost his control of the Ohio Republican Party.

Now, it appears that Kasich is trying to regain his vice-like grip on the Ohio Republican Party. This power move by Team Kasich is pitting them squarely against grassroots activists and President Trump’s allies in the battleground state.

Kasich’s loss of control over the state party is an important part of the puzzle that is his story. Controlling the party allowed him to exert pressure on elected Ohio Republicans to support him.

Whoever controls the 66 members of the Ohio Republican Party State Central Committee, controls the party. One woman and one man from each State Senate district are elected to serve this role that most voters aren’t even aware of. These committee members elect the Chairman and vote on endorsements, which makes them rather powerful positions in Ohio politics.

Please include the author next time. I don’t click that site anymore, but there are a couple of decent guys over there (Sexton, Jazz) and the others are insurable Never Trump gasbags. It’s good to know who’s column it is without giving them the traffic.

Maybe, but I doubt it. Kasich has retained dreams of running in 2020. Again. He needs to keep a political base of operations after he leaves the governors mansion.

IMO he has zero chance. He has basically fallen off the side of the diving board.

Kasick needs a mental evaluation.

Candidate Donald Trump won Ohio by 8 or 9 points.

Kasick ought to join the RATS, with whom he shares way too much in common.

I’d like to believe he wouldn’t be elected dog catcher in the Buckeye state today.
I wish he would just go stuff his face with all the food he can and STFU!!!

Maybe Kasich can team up with his womanizing buddies Gary Condit and Joe Scarborough.

Most of the party apparatus, NRSC, NRCC, state party organizations are still in the hands of the Bush League Republicans, still determined to prevent US from electing anyone else who would side with US against illegal aliens and their employers.

From this and the original article:

I guess he does it with weed, moonshine, and sleazy women? ( /sarc )

I’m shocked he doesn’t have major-league STDs from his sex adventures in DC with his good buddy Gary Condit.
