Kasich Returns to New Hampshire with Eye on 2020

Cleveland Plain Dealer: “For Kasich, the trip will be his first to New Hampshire since finishing second to eventual GOP nominee Donald Trump in the February primary there. Kasich so far has refused to endorse Trump, citing the New York businessman’s inflammatory rhetoric. He has kept alive his political operation to campaign for down-ballot Republicans in races across the country this fall.”

“By getting involved in a New Hampshire race and sending word that he plans to gather with his allies there, Kasich is signaling that he also is keeping alive the option to run for president again in 2020. The all-important Granite State traditionally hosts the nation’s first primary.”

If he can rile up people in NH against Trump then that's good for us.

from the article:

"He has kept alive his political operation to campaign for down-ballot Republicans in races across the country this fall.”


I admit. I'm a little paranoid. But I see no reason why I should start to trust the GOP on anything.

Kasich has done unbelievable amounts of damage to the state of Ohio. He is dismantling health and safety programs, public schools are being destroyed due to the lack of funds and he is selling public assets to GOP donors at bargain prices. There media in Ohio is all owned by right wing outfits so none of this makes the news.

Kasich is at the same level as Trump, or worse, since the media gives Kasich a total pass.

Because he comes off as likeable to the general uneducated public. The smile before the knife.

One field office has gone from over 120 employees to 85 with more mangers than field staff. These are people charged with protection the health of the public including drinking water, industrial pollution and wastewater. There is a reason Ohio's waters, including Lake Erie, are filled with toxic algae.

Kasich must never be president.
