Kasich: If GOP "can't be fixed," I can't support it
« on: October 01, 2017, 09:58:22 pm »
Quote
"If the party can't be fixed ... I'm not going to be able to support the party. Period. That's the end of it ... But have I given up? No," Ohio Gov. John Kasich said to CNN's Jake Tapper Sunday.

The bottom line: Kasich has been one of President Trump's most vocal opponents within the party, and some point to him as a likely primary challenger in 2020. But Kasich seems to be toying with the idea of leaving the GOP entirely — though he said for now he remains committed to trying to change it from within.

I don't think we can tolerate any more of Kasich's fixes. :facepalm2:

Exactly.  Kasiich and people like him are the disease from which the GOP needs to recover if I am ever to rejoin.

Kasich wants to change the party from within?  Why bother?  It's already as liberal as he is.

Kasich has still done more on social issues than Fred Cruz, whose garbage we are suppose to worship as a true conservative.

My Democrat MIL told me just yesterday that she would vote for Kasich, which is all I need to know.

You're right John, the GOP can't be fixed and there are going to millions who rejoice when you leave; just as we will when McCain and McConnell retire (one way or the other).

I like the idea of a self-draining swamp!   :silly:

A liberal like Kasich would do more on social issues than a Conservative like Cruz would, or do you just not understand Conservatism?

Kasich and most politicians talk in generalities. No specifics.

So what is it, John? The GOP is "too conservative," for your tastes?

Or is it "too populist?"

Kasich: If GOP "can't be fixed," I can't support it...

Please don't, Mr. Kasich.
Your kind of "fixes", we don't need.
Just go... and be gone.
