Kasich: I think it will be a very good year for Democrats in midterms
The Hill ^ | 10/07/18 | MEGAN KELLER

Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) said Sunday that he thinks Democrats will have a "good year" in the November midterms.

"How good? I'm not so sure, because if their message is abolish ICE and things like that, if -- they're not going to have a big wave," Kasich said on CNN's "State of the Union."

"The natural progression of things is, when the president's in two years out, the other party does well," he said.

"I don't know how big the wave is going to be," the governor said. "So we got to see what happens in November, but then we have to move beyond that election and try to get this country unified."

Kasich has been critical of the Republican Party, saying in April that it "left me." The possible 2020 White House contender lost a 2016 bid to President Trump, whom he has chastised.

Analysts have said that Democrats are going into the midterms in a strong position to gain a majority in the House, although their chances of retaking the Senate are eroding.

However, some have begun to predict that the recent confirmation fight over Justice Brett Kavanaugh may galvanize the Republican base to counteract the sluggishness that usually effects the winning party two years after a presidential election.

Democrats currently hold a 6.6 percentage point lead over Republicans in a RealClearPolitics average of generic congressional ballot surveys.

John Kasich? the guy who PROMISED to support the Republican nominee?

And who refused to even attend the GOP Convention, held in HIS home state, because PDJT hurt his feelings, or something!

I would NOT believe Kasich if he tried to tell me what day of the week it is.

Loser and known intellectual defective kasich misspoke. Instead of “I think...” he meant “I hope...” What an irrelevant dope.

I think Kasich is a clock that would best be used as a random number generator, there’s no guarantee of even being right twice a day.

"Does anyone know why Kasich is still a republican?"

Reptilian... You mispronounced that, he's actually a reptilian... Some type of small gutless snake...

If there is anyone who deserves Oliver Cromwell's dismissal it is Kasich.

There's another possible dismissal but he'd have to really really earn it.

I think = I hope.

The acronym RINO exists for a reason.

He is only a disgrace to himself, since he is not a conservative.
