(5,624 posts)would go to whackadoodle candidates like Santorum or Huckabee. He'll drop out in mid May when the primaries become winner take all.
The GOP establishment is pulling a bait-and-switch on the teabaggers.
He's probably got some arrangement with Fox. Maybe he'll do a reality show there. I'm guessing his Twitter feud with Megyn Kelly is staged. They're trying to build up Kelly, I listened to RW radio for a minute before the debate and they were talking about how prepared Kelly is and how "tough" she would be.

I thought Kasich won the debate last night. I am not a "Presidential image" assessor but he fits the VP role.

(182,877 posts)He usually connects well through the camera. Not last night.
I really really don't think Trump goes to the end. Their hard core heard Clinton and Trump in the same sentence and they no likey.
Hard to tell. I still think Nush gas the money and connections to win the nomination.

(1,151 posts)So I know John Kasich. He is a very smart man. Very shrewd. Hes not a clown. He initially tried to decertify the public unions. SB5 not only failed it failed spectacularly. He wanted to lease the turnpike to a foreign company but somehow it did not happen, thank the gods. Indiana sold theirs and its bad news. Penn turnpike is a nightmare to drive and cost you 20 dollars to go 10 miles from Ohio to Pennsiltuckyland. Ohio has a great TP.
He has allowed the charter school bandits to steal like 4 billion dollars from our education budget. They did a surprise check of a couple schools in Y town and they were about empty. Other charter school con artists just steal the money and close their school in Jan. John speaks in evangelical speak where he loves everyone and god is his closest adviser but hes ok with liberal ideas like LGBT rights but does not care about womens rights.
I do not think , that Kasich would enter us into a war. I don't think he is owned, yet, by the Kochs. He does not always present himself well. Sometimes, he gets very wordy and you don't know what he said,for sure. He is a budget hawk , I know hes gonna score big on that point. But he favors privatization and we all know that means he thinks that oligachy is the way to go. Hes actually W , with his very own brain.
