Kasich says Ohio election was a “vote on the president” - CBS News

Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Ohio voters who cast so many votes for Democrat Danny O'Connor in a solidly Republican district were "sending a message to the Republicans to knock it off."

The Republican governor made the comments in an exclusive interview with CBS News correspondent Ed O'Keefe, following the special election Tuesday night in Ohio's 12th Congressional District that is still too close to call. President Trump and the GOP have declared victory for Republican Troy Balderson, but no major news outlet has yet called the race for either candidate. Kasich suggested he believes a number of Republican women voted for O'Connor over Balderson.

"Well, the voters here sent a message to the Republicans to knock it off," Kasich, who has been critical of Mr. Trump, told O'Keefe. "Stop the chaos, the division, no more of this family separation that we see at the border or taking people's healthcare away. I think that have — basically have had enough and they're sending a message to the Republicans, including the Republican in the White House...And what happened here, in this district, people will not, maybe not understand this. This district is so Republican, there should never even have been an election here. And it was so close and -- in one of the counties that's so solidly Republican -- where a Republican would normally win by 70 percent, it broke basically 50-50."

"So, some Republicans sat at home, but what I think happened, and we don't have all the numbers yet, I think you will find a lot of Republican women who not only didn't sit at home, but a significant percentage, or some percentage of them voted for the Democrat," he added.

1. Knock it off sounds so polite

In my head, I can only think of invectives.

2. Kasich talking about women

is a laugh. He has signed every bill put before him to strangle PP and pro choice initiatives. He said in an interview that he would be appalled for his daughters to see Hillary Clinton elected president because she is such a terrible role model. F you Kasich.

Mr "Reasonable Republican" is nothing but a wolf in sheeps clothing...who wants to be president.

GO FUCK YOURSELF

I'm so sick of this sniveling little pissant.

This founding member of the Limbaugh Congress, destroyer of Unions, and divider-in-fucking chief now wants to lecture about "civility".

This fucktwit and his merry band of Retrumplican ass-pickles, who so gerrymandered my once great state that Retrumplicans win 48% of the vote, but get 85% of the representation can just GO FUCK HIMSELF

If Kasich is the new standard-bearer for "moderation", this country has not only smashed through the Looking Glass, we're using the broken shards to slit our wrists.

JUST FUCK HIM

5. Starting to pander early, John?...

Realizing women can, indeed, be a powerful force when you piss them off and you want to appear compassionate so you can claim you actually do care when you need their support for your future political ambitions???

Pfffft.
Piss off.
That’s our message to Republican men.

9. Not a lot of love for Kasich in this thread.

Then again, he is a lizard looking libertarian(?) asshole who still seems to be entertaining the thought that he is a "voice of reason".
