This is how tough guy Kasich dwindled into Huntsman 2.0

By W. James Antle III

The Ohio governor is the latest candidate to try winning the GOP nomination by alienating Republicans.   John Kasich had never been called a RINO before and he wasn't having it…..He was… Tea Party before there was a Tea Party. He was as opposed to corporate welfare as much as he wanted to promote welfare reform for the poor, as critical of the Pentagon purchasing bad weapon systems as he was of social programs…[he was] Paul Ryan before Paul Ryan, the backbencher with crazy ideas about how to cut spending and reform entitlements who rose to chairman of the House Budget Committee…..But Kasich has since transformed from one of the fiercest budget-cutters in Congress to a someone who says St. Peter doesn't care about limited government. He now waves aside principles and political philosophy as irrelevant distractions to a high-functioning executive, and defends Obamacare's Medicaid expansion, amnesty, minimum wage increases and bailouts on the Republican presidential debate stage.....To Read More.....

My Take – About a year ago I attended a board meeting of one of the trade associations in which I’m involved and the topic of Kasich  (Governor of our state) running for President came up.  I commented he’s going nowhere!  I mentioned he’d run once before and it was in New England where his run ended because up there when you campaign you campaign sitting down to breakfast with the locals and have conversation with them.   I commented they clearly realized then something I’d just became aware of after meeting Kasich.  He suffers from a serious case of weird!  I should have added that case of weird is compounded by a massive infection of hubris.  That was when I understood why he was so obnoxious on Fox when he appeared as a host.  He’s toast, but I predicted that months ago.  If you eliminate the logical fallacies, leftist clabber and false theological narratives from his recent speeches - you'll find he has said nothing worth listening to!
