Kasich on CNN Just Said He'd Support Impeachment

[tishaLA]

and vote for it if he were still in the House. He said it makes him sad to say it, but the corruption are so widespread that he has no choice

He also dings Democrats on not taking a vote for the inquiry, but it's secondary to his support for impeachment

[Mike 03]

1. Interesting. Two days ago on MSNBC he deflected and didn't want to talk about this.

He realized he's going to have to talk about Impeachment if he wants to sell his book.

[tishaLA]

2. Oh, I didn't realize he was in book selling mode

I don't think they mentioned it in the interview at all. He said the Mulvaney press conference was a big deal in his thinking and that the involvement of so many people--he mentioned Rick Perry in particular--makes continuing as we are untenable.

[Mike Nelson]

3. I saw that...

... he knows, of course, impeachment is called for... even before it was explicitly stated by Mick M. I noticed he never led the conversation back to his book, which he has been doing, a lot; it showed me he's seriously rattled (and he should be) by what's happening in the world.

4. We need people like Lamar Alexander and Ben Sasse to support impeachment.

[hibbing]

15. Ben Sasse? He's horrid

He is my senator, talk about a non-entity in the state. Rarely heard from, rarely seen, just going to D.C. fundraisers for his upcoming campaign which he would win without spending a penny. I do not know why he gets so much pub from the establishment.
(Not a dig at your post at all btw)

Peace

[Garrett78]

17. If we have any hope for a conviction, the likes of Sasse have to be on board.

[Alliepoo]

5. Huh.

Maybe he’s thinking that if the candy corn skid mark is impeached that his (Kasuck) chances of attaining the presidency are better.

[irisblue]

12. He'll run again. '20 or '24.

[DeminPennswoods]

6. Of course he does! It opens the way for him to run

for president as a "centrist" to "bring the country together". No matter that Kasich is as right a winger as there is dressed in (moderate}"sheep's clothing".

It is a completely self-serving position to take.

[imanamerican63]

9. Point spot on!

He can say this, because he knows he don't have to worry about blowback.

[Wounded Bear]

11. Yep! He's sniffing for "President Kasich" again...

[Moostache]

7. Sorry, no bonus points awarded...

At this point, that is like standing in front of a burning building and saying "you know, I do think we should put that out before it burns down the entire block!"

Courage is NOT waiting for critical mass and polling numbers to break the 50-50 threshold...

[tishaLA]

10. I don't disagree, but we are going to have to welcome

a lot of people who only change their minds when it reaches critical mass. I'm going to cheer them on and then, when all is said and done, I'll go back to despising them (which is also my position re: the never-tRumpers in the media like Frum, Rubin, etc. who can be an ally now but will return to being an enemy when this dark period has ended).

[Moostache]

13. I don't disagree....their lack of courage, crowd-muscles are needed...

They just get no acknowledgement from me for being anything special or what they are - useful cowards (with apologies to the useful and useless idiots in their midst as well!)...

[malaise]

8. He's been playing catch up with Mittens

since Sunday - it's fun to watch. He's one of the most inauthentic men of all time

[a kennedy]

14. "corruption are so widespread". Ya think??? Ah, yah.

[spanone]

16. drip...drip...drip...
