Sep 2019

He's not even a moderate. It would be like Zell Miller getting the Democratic nomination for President in 2004.

He feels like such a weenie to me. I don't see it. NCLefty Sep 2019 #1
Trump cultists will stay home Cicada Sep 2019 #2
He's a dangerous GOPer. He acts moderate, and the media has bought into it, OrlandoDem2 Sep 2019 #3
Yes. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #7
Nailed it zeusdogmom Sep 2019 #55
That's not accurate. Ms. Toad Sep 2019 #67
HOnestly he wouldn't be a horrible president. I think he spews the xtian mean stuff lindysalsagal Sep 2019 #4
Other than hating women Freddie Sep 2019 #8
The fact that you feel that way should scare the Dems. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #9
Just look at some of the laws passed in Ohio DeminPennswoods Sep 2019 #14
It's all about the SCOTUS!! We must not allow another GOPer to occupy the WH!! OrlandoDem2 Sep 2019 #29
Oh for fucks sake. MrsCoffee Sep 2019 #32
Spewing xtian mean stuff ... IS ... horrible uponit7771 Sep 2019 #33
He's horrid StarfishSaver Sep 2019 #50
He's a Union Buster... whathehell Sep 2019 #53
A whole lot of Sherman A1 Sep 2019 #5
True...but I'm a worst case scenario guy since November 2016. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #10
I understand but I really Sherman A1 Sep 2019 #11
That would be inherently smart Dorian Gray Sep 2019 #6
I think the GOP want Biden so that they can offer Jarqui Sep 2019 #12
They at least want a Prez nominee that would help save the Senate. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #15
I see him or Nikki Haley being that kind of problem. BlueTsunami2018 Sep 2019 #13
A Kasich/Haley ticket scares me 😱 honestly. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #16
Weld's much more of a threat DeminPennswoods Sep 2019 #17
Too boring. Low energy. Looks old. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #18
Way too liberal for the GOP Polybius Sep 2019 #72
No, I think it will be Romney mnhtnbb Sep 2019 #19
He's my second biggest concern. Romney/Haley is also scary. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #20
That is a scary combo and very possible. mnhtnbb Sep 2019 #21
Me too. He's chomping at the bit for it, and will campaign as the moderate... TreasonousBastard Sep 2019 #36
Yes... Mike Nelson Sep 2019 #22
Kasich won one primary (his home state) in 2016. klook Sep 2019 #23
as long as hes not crazy samnsara Sep 2019 #24
Actually, no. In the first place, unless Trump is impeached, I think the Trumpers would Arkansas Granny Sep 2019 #25
Yes, worry here. A moderate 'con can beat a too progressive Dem. empedocles Sep 2019 #26
How about this scenario. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #27
I really like the idea of an EW intellectual in the WH. Also like a sharp, charismatic empedocles Sep 2019 #30
Or Romney/Haley. I can't believe there is enough support in the GE for anyone who seems too "left".. TreasonousBastard Sep 2019 #34
Time works to Trump's advantage HopeAgain Sep 2019 #28
Agree about short gnat attention span and the news cycle. However, empedocles Sep 2019 #31
I think it'll be Rick Scott Buckeyeblue Sep 2019 #35
Oh No, I'd rather have Trump. Scott is smarter and more evil. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #39
Yes he is. He would be focused and deadly. Buckeyeblue Sep 2019 #47
if kasich was sitting in the WH today instead of trump we would not have the mess we have beachbumbob Sep 2019 #37
What if ice cream cured cancer? Act_of_Reparation Sep 2019 #38
Wind mills cause it.....so.... Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #40
Nope, not one bit. TheCowsCameHome Sep 2019 #41
KAsich has no support among Republican base voters. brooklynite Sep 2019 #42
Kasich is a racist pig just like trump .. stonecutter357 Sep 2019 #43
He has the charisma of a turnip Maeve Sep 2019 #44
I truly don't have that level of worry in me. TidalWave46 Sep 2019 #45
no. i'd look for cruz rampartc Sep 2019 #46
That's a very real concern to me, although I think it would be a Haley, Romney, Huntsman type. Hoyt Sep 2019 #48
Just turned on CNN. guess who is on. John Kasich. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #49
trump will be the nominee, but we will be victorious ecstatic Sep 2019 #51
Not really rpannier Sep 2019 #52
The nominee would be Pence by default TNLib Sep 2019 #54
pretty sure nominee won't be trump. he is self destructing. he is probably wiggs Sep 2019 #56
Not at all Polybius Sep 2019 #57
We should have such a problem. Tom Rinaldo Sep 2019 #58

No. Trump will take down the GOP with him dansolo Sep 2019 #61
Why worry? NotASurfer Sep 2019 #62
Yes, he troubles me greatly n/t dajoki Sep 2019 #63
Nope customerserviceguy Sep 2019 #65
No. At this point the GOP's best option is try to help Spanky ooky Sep 2019 #68
He could be beaten in a normal election muriel_volestrangler Sep 2019 #69
Why would Trump's base vote for Kasich? kentuck Sep 2019 #70
Even though they love Trump, they hate Democrats even more. Funtatlaguy Sep 2019 #71
