John Kasich: US may be witnessing 'the end of a two-party system'
by Melissa Quinn | Feb 25, 2018, 12:22 PM

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican, predicted Sunday the country could be starting to see the demise of the two-party system.

â€œWe may be beginning to see the end of a two-party system,â€ Kasich told ABCâ€™s â€œThis Week.â€ â€œIâ€™m starting to really wonder if we are going to see a multi-party system at some point in the future in this country because I donâ€™t think either party is answering peopleâ€™s deepest concerns and needs.â€

The Ohio Republican said he believes the shift could be ushered in by younger generations.

â€œI mean, I don't think it's going to happen tomorrow, but I think over time, do not be surprised if these millennials and these Gen Xers begin to say, â€˜Neither party works, we want something new,'" he said.

He should know, his dad was a mailman.

And a dog bit him on the buttocks at least one time. He might have retired on disability. Not sure about that however.

If any generation would have nixed the two-party system, it would have been the anti-war, anti-establishment baby boomers, who were far more political than the millennials or genX. The boomers didn't reinvent the system, for the simple reason that eventually they had to grow up and fend for themselves. The same will be said for millennials, especiallt since they will have the option of escaping into 3D virtual reality, where everything can be just the way they want it.

Kasich is a fool, and this is not the first time he has jumped the shark.

@dfwgator

Two fouls committed there - eating in front of the press and eating spaghetti while wearing a white shirt.

Third foul - not twirling your spaghetti with into a spoon so you don't eat like a slob!

Does this son of a mailman think the 2 party system is over or is he just wishing it were so his half assed 2020 Presidential run seems viable?

Johnny K was a mailman's son
And while his daddy delivered he'd come along
While they opened their bills and started squawkin'
That's when Johnny would never stop talkin'
All through my back yard he'd go walkin'
Then he'd see me roll my eyes
Lord knows, to my surprise

The only one who could ever bore me
Was the son of a mailman
The only boy who could ever snore me
Was the son of a mailman
Yes he was
He was, ooh
Yes he was

Any politician that does not clearly state the existing system failed, schools and LEOs failed to LOCK THIS GUY UP, is not close to the correct answer.

Hick and Kasich just two typical practitioners, of "political correctness," and fear of offending anybody.

Listen to CPAC speech by Ben Shapiro for a breath of fresh air on the subject.

Look in a mirror, azzhole. You are why the party is falling apart. You, personally. And you had such great promise in 1994.

I donâ€™t know what the hell is going on with him there. Aside from his weird skin tone, heâ€™s got a navy blazer with black pants. Maybe heâ€™s colorblind.

That's, that issue. The interview itself was terrible and to me he came across as a real jerk and how many times did he call himself a Republican?

As many times as @Jazzhead does, and I believe it just as much.

John, I've had foot fungus less persistent than you. Go build a church somewhere and preach from a puplit already.

Except for @massadvj , no substantive remarks. Speaking as a man without a party I hope Kasich is right. Neither party has the moral foundation to lead and neither party has a cohesive ideology to frame a moral foundation. I can't support either.
