Kasich commits political suicide

[Mac1958]

Holy crap, so much for Kasich. I've been saying a Kasich/Rubio ticket would be the GOP's strongest, but that's history: Kasich lashes out: ‘What has happened to the conservative movement?’

I think this stuff makes him a Marxist/communist/socialist:

"I've about had it with these people," Kasich said at the rally in Westerville, Ohio. "We got one candidate that says we ought to abolish Medicaid and Medicare. You ever heard of anything so crazy as that? Telling our people in this country who are seniors, who are about to be seniors that we're going to abolish Medicaid and Medicare?"

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson has acknowledged that he would like to gut Medicare.

Kasich went on, saying, "We got one person saying we ought to have a 10 percent flat tax that will drive up the deficit in this country by trillions of dollars" and there's another challenger in the field "says we ought to take 10 or 11 people and pick them up — I don't know where we're going to go, their homes, their apartments — we're going to pick them up and scream at them to get out of our country. That's crazy. That is just crazy."

Donald Trump has expressed support for deporting immigrants living in the country illegally.

"We got people proposing healthcare reform that's going to leave, I believe, millions of people without adequate health insurance," Kasich says. "What has happened to our party? What has happened the conservative movement?"

Didn't he want to ban the movie "fargo"? LOL limp wrist

 

[rightwinger]

I like Kasich..he looks at fellow Republicans and says WTF?

Have to see how he does in the debate tonight

 

[CowboyTed]

It might be suicide or it's a last ditch attempt to rally the moderate conservative around one guy... Kasich is not a nut job, he knows the US is just a socialist as the next but he wants to see solutions.

Personally I think Kasich is a solution guy first and a conservative next which isn't bad...

But don't be mistaken, the crazies are going to go for him... GOP like to eat their own.

Here is a question.

Could you see Kasich being Clinton's VP choice?

I have been saying lately, "you might not be able to find Ebola on a bus, but you damn sure could find a democrat under it" LOL

He made a oak of being a hack on the first debate. Remember?

 

[ClosedCaption]

Yeah, seeing retarded behavior and calling it retarded is political suicide.

 

[gipper]

Kasich is just another run of the mill progressive statist. We don't need any more of them. We have too many already.

How could you not know this?

Are you being sarcastic? Those comments and his reasonableness and rational approach is what will make him the most formidable opponent for the democrats. A Kasich-Rubio ticket is the best chance Republicans have to win the Whitehouse. The far right views of most of the rest of the field are not where most Americans are.

Well, I'm kind of being sarcastic, but I think I'm also being pretty accurate.

Yes, Kasich/Rubio would be their best ticket, but no, no way in hell he survives after saying this. Must be a Hail Mary.

Laughable.

Yeah we need another statist progressive POTUS...like we need a hole in the head.

The media sure does fool millions of Americans with their BS...

His rant made him appear like Vern Troyer trying to play NBA basketball. "Pass it to me! I can do it! Why isn't anyone giving me the ball?"

Just knew there had to be such a pic.

(no offense to Vern Troyer or little people.)

By calling most Republicans RINO'S the Tea Wackos prove they are a loud but small minority of voters.

Then this morning on the news they had footage where he was touting the stance against sending illegals home to Mexico.

Yeah. He ain't making any friends with conservatives.

I thought the same thing.

I still think that there is a sizable portion of the Republican party that are not the wild eyed right wingers. The right are loud, but they still are not the majority of Republican voters. By the time voters actually have to make a choice, their flirtation with the Carson's and Trumps will be over. They might want to have a fling with them, but they would not marry them.

Kasich is an illustration of why it would be best to have a President who has both legislative and executive experience. His experience as Governor of Ohio has forced him to recognize that ideological Conservatism is fine for think-tanks, but cannot work in actual government. Same for Progressivism.

Think of him as Compassionate Conservative 2.0 (after Bush43).

The problem is that his current rhetoric would be great in a General Election campaign, but as any observant person knows, will not get him very far in the primaries, where ideologues tend to rise to the top.

Unfortunately, this guy was my choice since before he even announced, but he is - as the saying goes - "toast."

He is a conservative. He is simply a rational one; the kind who is practical and pragmatic.

He is about as far to the right of the middle as Obama is to the left. They may have personal opinions that are more extreme, but they understand that the government needs to govern.
