Why didn't we elect this man President?

As much as I am generally opposed to the Republican party, I would have voted for Kasich over Hillary. Dude is pretty reasonable.
 
Too reasonable and your vote didn't come with a free hat.
 
I voted for him in the primaries

Sadly, he's not out there enough to capture media's attention against a 12+ candidate field, especially when one is a loudmouthed reality star and he couldn't get himself into the antagonist of Trump role like Cruz did

Really, it's like a great fighter not selling ppv because he doesn't have the mic skills of McGregor. He's a Damian Maia
 
everyone gonna act like he didnt campaign money from soros, so he had like 0% chance to be liked by a huge part of the republican party and the ones who were cool with it, preferred rubio

he only ran on "look how good ohio went", as if ohio didnt do well from an oil boom
 
That's one of the best shitkickings of the Trump adventure that I've read.
 
Sorry Mick but Kasich is an establishment cuckazoid and we don't want establishment cuckazoids. That is why we elected Trump. Kasich was just a less disgusting version of Hillary and Jeb and thus...not good enough. Trump hasn't been perfect but he's still light years better than these losers you guys keep propping up.
 
Not enough childish name calling and bs promises
 
Obama didnt needed to try to get into Syria, everyone was on board for said war.
Bullshit. We had no reason to be there. Syria was doing just fine before we toppled the fuck out it. Ask the people living in that country, they had no problem with Assad. Now that nation is more porous then quick sand and we have our dicks stuck right in the middle of it for what? Oh wait let's go ask Israel what other Muslim nation they want us to skull f*k off the face of the earth.

LMAO, Trump is the next level of the establishment. Stop being a dink.
 
I would have probably voted for him as well out of all candidates. I think his stock only rose after the election.
But it wasn't the environment for a guy like him to win this time. He should probably keep a good profile.
Because there is a possibility that the republicans are sick of Trump after 4 years and want a quiet/reasonable guy like Kasich running.
Not saying they will but it is certainly a possibility at this point.
 
I'm sure he will have his shot. It was obvious that Kasich used this opportunity to establish himself and raise his profile. He wasn't ready for a serious run yet. He never made any moves to make him seem like he took himself and his chances legitimately. He was content letting other people speak without directly confronting them.

Trump knew that this was a one-off opportunity of a lifetime, and he took all the chances that were necessary, and ceaselessly promoted himself and his world-view to the people. That's why he is the President now. The confidence oozed through him. Even if it was false bravado, your public display is what matters as a politician.

He deserved it based on the run that he had. Will he be an awful President? I don't think his legacy is cemented as of yet. He's done things worthy of criticism, but there's no major catastrophe to point out to so far, which is what people were predicting within his first six months. Even his boasts and his bluster in foreign policy have oddly worked to an extent in maintaining stability. So far, that is.

Kasich is an asshole who was only in the race to spike Cruz. He was doing it as a favor to his butt buddy John Boehner.

We all know Trump being elected was better than Hillary but it's okay to acknowledge your guy is a sack of shit too.
 
lol @ Kasich

The only republican liberals like because he's policies aren't too right-wing for them...but he's not a RINO lol
 


The other part of Maher's show from Friday night. Kasich opens a bit shaky by trying to split hairs on recreational vs. medicinal marijuana, which Maher rightly calls out, but from that point on it is a splendid interview revealing the "reformation" of the Republican party that was genuinely needed, not this "anti-establishment" mongoloid who currently inhabits the office; that Kasich was ever perceived as the "establishment" just reveals how ignorant the Trumpets are.

Trump was supposed to be the guy who radically redefined the Republican party. What a spectacular lie. What a cheap con. From killing internet privacy/neutrality to proposing a one-page tax plan that kills taxes for the 1% to his health care plan that seems determined to kill everybody but Warren Buffett...the man has proven to be nothing but a lie.

He was supposed to be the outsider who would rein in Wall Street, but instead Goldman Sachs alumni and other billionaires hold more positions in his cabinet than in any administration in history. His son-in-law (who is a lifelong Democrat) recently was revealed to secretly hold partnerships with Goldman Sachs and George Soros.

He is rolling back Frank-Dodd which was the backbone of some of the only protections against central banking malfeasance that led to the Great Recession. There's no talk about restoring previous protections or measures like Glass-Steagall, either, or creating new but spiritually similar legislation. There's no talk of restrictions or reform of any kind for the central banks & the largest hedge fund managers that doesn't involve the word "deregulation". This is probably the only real estate in the country where nearly every American agrees that regulations are a good and necessary thing with more needed.

Each new day brings a troubling new headline about Trump businesses abusing the separation of vested financial family interest. Just this week they used an official state department's twitter to pimp Ivanka's book, and pushed reporters out of a room where many of Kushner's business associates were speaking with Chinese elites.

He was going to be the President who stopped ruling by executive decree, and yet he's issued more executive orders in his first 100 days than any other President except for FDR (who was socializing everything to fight off the Great Depression). They're not even well-written, btw, because the man can barely read, and struggles comprehending even the simplest metaphors like George W. Bush's famous remark that there are "no corners in the Oval Office".

He relentlessly harangued Obama for taking too many vacations and wasting taxpayer money, and yet he spent nearly as much of our money carting state retinues to Mar-A-Lago in his first month (heavily padding his own pocket) than Obama spent on travel and vacations in his first year.

He was going to be the President who understood job creation, but he's creating jobs at a slower rate than Obama did last year, and the majority of pay improvement is going to supervisors/management.

He was supposed to be the candidate who would end the globalist cabal by restoring relations with Putin and other governments focused on actually exterminating radical Islam, while simultaneously pulling us out of the quagmire of war that serves only the military industrial complex, and yet a few months later he hammers Assad with 59 Tomahawks while playing cold war games of hysterical escalation with North Korea. No permission asked. We're still installed in the Middle East. He appears determined not only to spend more than ever on the military, but also to be at least equally interventionist as the most neoconservative past administrations, and to be more unilateral as an executive than ever before.

Many classic conservatives supported Trump because of the Supreme Court seat due to their commanding desire to finally do something about abortion. To many conservatives, abortion is the #1 evil in government public policy. Well, he just fully funded Planned Parenthood again. So much for that.

Any hope he was going to get the Republicans off the railroad tracks terminating off the side of a cliff with the marijuana issue? Nope, nope, nope. We have an AG who analogizes marijuana to heroin, and is promising to use federal drug laws to bully state, county, and municipal districts that defy him (and like any good lawman, he has openly flirted with implementing this strategy to harass politically antagonistic districts for entirely unrelated matters, such as sanctuary cities). Expecting an end to big government Republicanism and a return to classic libertarian philosophy? Not here! Not a chance!

He's a populist, alright: a Goldman Sachs populist. Face it, Trumpets: you got conned.

Now go and listen to Kasich speak. This is the tone needed for the future of the Republican party. This is a man who could push policy that has a chance for long-term health in terms of making inroads into minorities, women, and the less affluent. This is the reform the Republican party needs. Fiscal responsibility doesn't entail draconian callousness, and it absolutely shouldn't be married to gross ignorance like climate change denialism or anti-vaccine rhetoric.

Trump is just cocking 2043's hammer. ICE isn't changing the evolution of the country's demographic make-up. A toll will be paid. I'm white, so I would prefer it not be paid in blood.


Because he's not white trash with cash. Republicans are basically white trash. Some of them have money because white trash is ignorant and retarded and easy to lead around.

That's it. That's all it is. As I've gotten older and more established in life (having cars, a nice house, a good job) I went from being a moderate to a pretty hardcore democrat. For 25 years plus the republican party has been the white trash of america's mouth piece and it's not changing anytime soon. The trump victory was kind of the final "dear god what the fuck is wrong with you stupid fucks he's the goddamn music man who talks about raping women while bragging about trying to fuck a married woman while his wife is pregnant and you stupid fucks elected him)" moment. lol

and now he's going to probably do what he said he was going to do which meant white trash without cash is going to get raped.

So I'm actually enjoying this plus I hate SJW's and pc nuts. I really can't wait until the repeal obamacare, start a war and fuck with wages because i'll be fine but white trash will be suffering
 
He has set himself up very well for 2020. Trump destroyed Jeb, Rubio, and Cruz. Kasich came out clean without siding with Trump.
 
I stated numerous times early in the primaries Kasich is 100% the best Republican candidate.
 
because reasonable statements don't make good headlines


the public was too busy discussing Trump's hand size and Rubio's sweats
