He's going to go the way of Huffman or whatever his name was in 2012. He said he believed in evolution - whoop! You're gone.

...on the one hand, as you say, a Kasich nomination would almost certainly make a Dem victory harder. On the other hand--if Kasich were in the White House, he actually would, in all likelihood, be a little less crazy in his actual policy choices than the other Repubs. So how could we *not* want him to win, in that case? Is the risk, however slight, of a Trump/Cruz/Rubio administration worth it? I honestly don't know how to feel about this...

of course the Republicans never nominate the ones I think'd be trouble for us. They pretty consistently pick dumb & folksy over competent and effective. Maybe I'm worrying for nothing.
