 Kasich's team gears up for possible 2020 bid

A primary challenge to Trump is under discussion, though supporters say the outgoing governor is more likely to run if Trump doesn't.

By GABRIEL DEBENEDETTI

John Kasich’s inner circle is gearing up for a possible presidential run in 2020 — actively weighing the prospect of a Republican primary challenge to President Donald Trump against the feasibility of a long-shot general election campaign as an independent.

And there’s one consideration driving their thinking perhaps more than any other: what some of his advisers consider the very real, maybe even likely, possibility that Trump doesn’t run again — by choice or not — or that the president becomes so politically hobbled by late next year that the political landscape fundamentally shifts in Kasich’s favor. That’s one reason Kasich has yet to decide whether to pursue an independent bid or a primary challenge.

I will vote for him.  He gave us the last time our budget was balanced.  I remember when he left congress to have a career and marry - I did not want him to leave as he had done a great job with our finances - we were in good shape with a balanced budget, the last time that happened. He is also a real Christian.

So the bonifieds for a real Christian is supporting Obamacare because Jesus told him to? Thanks for that update.

BTW, it doesn't surprise me that you would support an open Rat for President.

I don't know about you but I just can't wait to hear the next flock of candidates tell us what their fathers did.

I would have never known Rafael Cruz escaped persecution in Cuba, came to United States with $100 “sewn into his underwear,” and lived a “fast life” before “finding Jesus,” .   Man... I didn't know Jesus was Lost?

Did you know Lorence Graham made a living working at the bar and pool hall they owned in the small town of Central, S.C.  Poor bastard died from a heart attack when Lindsay was 21, 15 months after his mother passed away of lymphoma.  Bad genes.

Little Marco Rubio's Father, Mario, stood behind a small portable bar in the back of a room so that Marco could stand behind a podium in the front of a room.  Kid is a regular Cuban Rosa Parks.

Evidently Rick Santorum father, Aldo, was a piece of Coal.  Ricky was fond of saying  “Ladies and gentlemen, this is a piece of coal. This is where my American story started,”  Rick was a coal miners daughter.

Senator Bernie Sanders' father, Eli, immigrated to the United States from Poland “without a penny in his pocket and without much of an education,”   The apple didn't fall very far from the tree when it came to work ethic.  Old Bern has never held a job in his life.

Jimmy Carter was a "real" Christian, too.  In fact, he still teaches Sunday School.

Yay, because after every major news event, the country immediately shifts back to clamoring for Kasich to run.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

Just as with Bob Dole, and John McCain.....liberals love the Republicans they know they can beat,  until after the Convention,  then that Republican they "loved"  now becomes Hitler to them.

Kasich = RINO.  No thank you!  Besides, I couldn't stand to watch the 'demented windmill' hand gestures; good for a laugh every now and then, but that's about it.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

LOL. Judging by his result in the last election, the country doesn't even know who he is or want to know.

They say he is an unknown quantity.  I say, he is just unknown.
