When he officially accepts the 2016 Republican nomination for president Thursday night, Donald Trump will do so as a different kind of Republican.
Or so the thinking goes.
A Trump presidency would be just like every other Republican presidency, arguably even worse.
We now know this for fact.
According to a story out today in the New York Times Magazine, when Donald Trump was looking for a running mate, he initially offered the job to one of his former opponents, Ohio Governor John Kasich.
And while that's interesting enough on its own, what's even more interesting is the offer the Trump campaign made to try to convince Kasich to join the ticket.
According to the New York Times, when Donald Trump, Jr. contacted a Kasich advisor about the running mate job, he told that adviser that his father wanted to make Kasich the "most powerful vice president in history."
Could this be from day one i thought Trump never wanted to be president?? are Trump supporters voting for someone else....who knows with this lair....

This story's been around for a while-- aswith everything else, Trump wants to "win" and get the job.

but he does not want to do the job. That's too much like work.
And that's why most of his past ventures failed. Since he's been in receivership, he hasn't been allowed to actually run things, so he's been doing OK.

We're all voting for Democrats, and recruiting others to do the same. That's the challenge for all of us. Bring people to the polls where they will vote for Democrats.
GOTV 2016!
