Just now on State of the Union with Jake Tapper, John Kasich confirmed a rumor that has been floating around for weeks, that Donald Trump Jr. offered him a VP slot on behalf of his dad. Specifically, the rumor was more detailed than that: that in order to entice Kasich, they specifically offered to put him "in charge of all domestic and foreign policy." One wonders what Trump actually has interest in doing.

According to Kasich, he never got a call from Trump Jr. personally but one of his aides did get such a call and reported it to him. He never followed up on it because he had no interest in doing it at all. Watch:

Rough transcript follows:

Quote

Tapper: There was a report in the New York Times that Donald Trump Jr. called you and tried to suss out your feelings, your interest in being the Vice President and said you would be able to run domestic and foreign policy. Is that report true?

Kasich: I never got a call, apparently my aides did.

Tapper: Donald Trump Jr. did call one of your aides and have that conversation?

Kasich: That's what the reports are, but, you know, I don't...

Tapper: Your aides said that that's accurate?

Kasich: One of them has told me, yes....

Tapper: That it was accurate?

Kasich: Yeah. But I never got a call and that's yesterday, and again, I said during the campaign and nobody in the press believed me, you know, I might have agreed to be George Washington's Vice President (Kasich goes on at length about how great the job of being Governor of Ohio is and how he doesn't want to be anyone's VP).

Well there you have it. Now I guess we get to spend several days trying to figure out which aide received the call and then this controversy will drag on for some period of time.

On a related note, if you actually watched the video, how weird is John Kasich, in terms of his interpersonal relationships? Why is he not able to look in the camera or at Jake Tapper for any appreciable length of time before looking off in weird directions

You do realize, don't you, that at several points in time your Orange Baal has held beliefs far to the left of Kasich..

Which ones, can you name them and the "points in time"?

And many of the several points are very very conservative.

He has that strange facial tic too. I wonder if he is in the early stages of some neurological disease - maybe Parkinson's

He's from Ohio. They tic like that.

I've got a real problem with this.

Basically Kasich was offered a chance to be the real president behind a puppet presidency and the GOP had to be in on it. Its the kind of thing we're accused of doing overseas but doing it here raises it to a whole other level of wrong and criminal.

It also raises so realm questions about what kind of deal Pence got.

I was thinking in his case...Bull Butter!

Kasich could have won and signed the legislation presented to him by a GOP Congress.

Instead we gave the nomination to Biff Tannen.

Oh well.

John Kasich is a good man. Unlike Trump, he doesn't lie, insult, trash those who disagree with him. He has some policies I don't agree with, but I could have voted for him with a clear conscience.

I will not vote for Trump with a clear conscience.

Considering the fact that Kasich ran on the fact that he's an establishment politician who has been in government a long time, I gotta say I was impressed with his honesty and was further impressed with the way he stuck to his guns.

He strikes me as somebody who can take or leave politics, but believes he's got something to contribute. He's certainly not an attention whore.

I think that's a very accurate assessment of John Kasich. I too would have gladly voted for him over Hillary, even though I disagree with him on a number of things..

And he would have beaten her and been a solid President.

At worst he would have been a hold but I think he would have rolled us back a few years in a good way.

Though he is a bit too far to the left for my liking and half the time he looked like a demented windmill with his hands flying all over the place, I too would have voted for him and think that he would have made a half-way decent president. Certainly I think he is fit to be Commander in Chief.
