It depends on what sort of conservatism floats your boat.   Kasich developed a reputation as a budget and deficit hawk while a Congressman;  he even opposed the B-2 bomber if I recall on such grounds.   If you care about deficits and their long-term impact on future generations,  I'd say Kasich is a darn good choice.  I think he would also have the courage to tackle entitlement reform.   He also has a consistent pro-life record.   But if conservatism and Christianity to you means telling the old and the poor and the infirm and the addicted to go to hell, then, sure, Kasich isn't going to have much appeal.  His heart's not made of stone.

Thanks, @Victoria33  There is simply no way to balance the budget without entitlement reform.   Trump's promise to his base that he wouldn't touch entitlements is among the most irresponsible - and ultimately cowardly - things he's done.

Kasich, twice, balanced our US budget; it has not been balanced since he left congress.  I would vote for him.

LOL. Yup. Notice how they have to go back 25 years to show that John Boy was a fiscal Conservative? That was so long ago that right wing David Brock was attacking the Clintoons and Pontiac thought the Aztec was a good idea.

He's also horrible on illegal immigration and the Constitution.  I couldn't vote for him, but I'm not trying to persuade you of anything.  Just stating the facts, ma'am.

The aztek was a great idea but some butt muncher at corporate was dropping acid when he approved the redesign.  If they would have let the Auto show Concept design loose it would have been a winner. 

Oh and back to the topic.  Screw Jonh Kasich and the nag he road in on.

GM did sell the Aztec with better styling and it sold well. It was called the Buick Rendezvous....



Oh yeah. Back on topic. Kasich blows.

Come on. What type of mamby pamby bullshit retort is that? Tell her what you really feel. Don't hold back.

(This place is dead this morning and I'm bored. We need a good Friday morning cat fight.)

Oh yeah. Back on topic. Kasich sucks.
