Trump bashes 'major loser' Kasich ahead of DNC speech

Source: The Hill

President Trump on Monday bashed former Ohio Gov. John Kasich ahead of the Republican's address to the Democratic National Convention, dismissing him as a "major loser."

"He was a loser as a Republican, and he’ll be a loser as a Democrat. Major loser as a Republican. I guess you can quote me on that. John was a loser as a Republican. Never even came close. And as a Democrat he'll be an even greater loser," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One while flying back from a day of campaigning in Wisconsin and Minnesota.

"People don’t like him. People don’t trust him. His health care in Ohio was a disaster," Trump added. "He hasn’t done too well with Trump. He’s been easy pickings."

Kasich, a two-term governor, is slated to speak on the first night of the Democratic National Convention in a nod to moderate Republicans the Biden campaign is targeting. He is expected to hail Biden as the right candidate to unite the country following Trump's first term.

Must be a republic thing. I don't think they're comfortable in their own skins.

I'll ignore him, and wish everyone (especially media) would do so too.
