    LOL... so endorsing the new democratic version of socialism it the better option. It really says what Kasich is actually wishing to preserve is the centralization of power in a monolithic federal government replete with all encompassing paternalism and social tyranny.

    Cruz belongs on the Supreme Court, to remind Roberts there's a Constitution.

    Agreed and his base would say worse but I do think she should be a contender

    Could you imagine her on the world stage? World leaders WOULD show deference and respect - something that the current leader could not engender from a half witted Poodle

    Yawn, another loser never Trumper RINO. The man ran for POTUS and got nowhere, why should we care? Kasich has all the qualities of a leader except followers. The fact he prefers a candidate with dementia who may not know his own name in four years speaks volumes about his lack of integrity.

    I'm sure the GOP can dig up a disaffected Democrat to speak for Trump at their convention.

    Most of which came from Ohio, which is one of the larger swing states in the general election. Any sway this has could have significant implications for Trump's reelection chances.

    Who cares? The second he adopts the narrative of the NDP, they certainly won't like him anymore.

    He isn't running for POTUS. The economy was much better there under Trump than under Biden's boss whose name he couldn't remember.

    "Still Republican" is not a meaningful criteria. There are Republicans like Kasitch and Collins and there are Republicans like Cruz and Jordon. The important (good) ones are more or less constitutional conservatives, and the RINOs are establishment deep state elitists such as The Bushies and other Never Trumpers. There are considerable "good" Trump supporting conservatives in federal and state public office. Though, while large in number, they have just a slight majority if that in both the House and the Senate. What is swept under the rug by the RINOS and Democrats are the tens of millions of avid base supporters of Trump.

    However, I'm not sure I get your point.

    How can you not like John. He's like the teddy bear you had as a kid.
    Best for you to forget about the economy.

    John Kasich ?????
    Nothing like getting the endorsement of a guy Trump beat like a drum in 2016.

    Trump is clearly the best choice to rebuild the economy.

    Anyone who can read a graph knows that this is nonsense. Everything Trump took credit for in the economy was growing at about the same rate before he ever stepped in the Oval Office.

    The economy is going to flounder until Trump takes strong action on the virus. Something I don't see happening yet. Do you?
    But I have to admit I love the market.

    What would you like him to do? We have a lower mortality rate than seven European nations. What should Pres. Wilson have done about the Spanish flu? We had 625,000 deaths with a population half as big as ours.

    Bunk, look at the five year DJIA graph. In 11/16 when Trump was elected the DJIA took off after being flat for a year on the expectation Trump would reduce taxes and regulation. That is exactly what happened. The market also rose when shampeachment was buried in Jan. The opposite would happen if Plugs were elected.
