CLEVELAND — Maybe Ohio Gov. John Kasich didn’t get the memo about Republican unity. Or maybe he did, since he didn’t mention Donald Trump by name as he lambasted a huge portion of Trump’s policy platform Tuesday before and during the party’s formal vote to make the real estate mogul its presidential nominee.

Kasich is not speaking at his party’s convention in his home state. Trump mocked the governor for that on Monday, saying if he had lost as badly as Kasich lost the primaries to Trump, he wouldn’t want to speak, either. And Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, declared Kasich was “embarrassing” Ohio.

But Kasich did speak at events around the convention, including a U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce session on Tuesday evening, held as Republicans were nominating Trump at the Quicken Loans Arena just a mile away.

It was the second time that day that Kasich ticked off a list problematic Trump positions that Kasich saw as worldwide threats.

1. All tRump knows is how to be a bully

He made it in business by being a lying bully (and going bankrupt 4 times), obviously nobody has informed him that maybe he should try a different tact in politics.

2. Kasich is well liked in Ohio and Trump cannot win without it

He really is a moron isn't he?

3. Who would have imagined...

that Kasich would turn out to be the voice of reason amongst this craziness?

I thought he would back off Trump but he hasn't, and that is wonderful!

4. I respect Kasich for having some principles, at least.

I certainly didn't like him as a candidate, but I can respect the fact that he has refused to jump on the Trump love fest band wagon. At least maybe he can still look himself in the mirror and sleep at night. The others, like Christie, sold themselves for a penny on the dollar.
