2. kasich is not a dem and he is not "within Democratic ranks" really nt

[melman]

3. Since when is John Kasich "within Democratic ranks?"

[nsd]

4. +1

[Bongo Prophet]

5. AOC is right, takes a lot of nerve to spout that shit. No surprise, though.

Moved right into splitting dems and putting the weight of the GOPs character flaws on us. Go the F away.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

6. As soon as he started spouting "we need to listen" I changed the channel n/t

[montanacowboy]

7. Kasich is a snake in the grass

a number one Opportunist but first and foremost always a right wing asshole

why we have to suffer him and frothy Santorum on CNN is beyond me.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. Indeed!!! nt

[kansasobama]

9. We will need Kasich

Hello:

WE will need him for 2 years at least. We really have lost lot of seats in the House. We cannot have a very divisive mid-terms where we could lose seats. Biden focuses on COVID, COVID, and economy and police reform so that we don't have this stupid "Defund the Police" lies on us.

10. And so it begins

[Earthshine2]

13. And how will Kasich save us with his empty rhetoric and flexible morality?

I cringe when I see him on TV. He's a hollow man.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

20. This. nt

Very shallow, riding on the coattails of right-wing propaganda lies.

Clean YOUR house before trying to lecture anyone else, hypocritical dumbass!

Edit: I just heard Steve Schmidt talking on MSNBC. He's so much more intelligent than Kasich, and describes the political problems more accurately and eloquently.

21. John Kasich? ....John Kasich.

Oh, I remember him. ...from the Clinton Presidency. The guy who, along with Joe Scarborough and Newt Gingrich, helped get us where we are today. Now he's going to tell us how to clean up his mess? F that guy.

11. Keep in mind

The anti-Trump Republicans are still Republicans. What you have now are 2 separate wings of the Republican party, and both will return to being our adversaries.

[Peregrine Took]

12. I couldn't agree more. Must be lobbying for a cabinet post.

'Can't stand him - asking us to understand MAGA.

LOL - I DO understand them.

No thanks.

[LeftishBrit]

14. Maybe but he's not a Biden surrogate; he's a moderate Republican

[Hassin Bin Sober]

16. He's not a moderate. He's just not batshit crazy.

[LeftishBrit]

17. Yes, I suppose that's what counts as 'moderate' these days. Sigh.

Anyway, he's not a Democrat, or 'Biden surrogate'.

[Dagstead Bumwood]

18. The proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing.

Fuck him and anything he says.

[Prince99]

15. Remove that one statement and he had a few good points

Moving forward is not so much making the connection with the rural voter but to provide the programs and funding for their needs.

Entitlement programs are not enough. There needs to be a new Rural Deal consisting of 1) better medical care, such as provide new doctors an opportunity to work in these smaller communities and offer them reduced loans for schooling to incentivize these doctors, 2) technological advancement such as broadband for all but to schools, make attempts to bring them into the 21st century, better phone service goes along way, 3) improved access to clean water systems, and/or provide incentives for wells and sewer, the small stuff goes a long way, 4) Emphasize climate change and actually provide these people incentives to move out of the flight path of destruction of tornadoes, hurricanes, etc., its madness that damage occurs and they rebuild, they rebuild because there is not another option, provide that option.

I can go on and on...a New Rural Deal has a ring to it.

[George II]

19. He's speaking about candidates like Greenfield and Finkenauer in Iowa, etc.

22. John Weaver, one of the founders of TLP was a campaign adviser to Kasich's 2016 campaign

[melman]

23. Yes

But we're apparently not allowed to talk about that sort of thing. We have to pretend the LP aren't who they really are.
