" (CNN)Ohio Gov. John Kasich still isn't ready to support Donald Trump for president -- but he confirmed that one of his aides was contacted about possibly joining the real estate mogul's ticket as his vice president.
Kasich told CNN's Jake Tapper that he didn't receive a call himself. But he said one of his aides confirmed to him a New York Times report last month saying Donald Trump Jr. tried to entice Kasich with a position as the most powerful vice president in history -- putting him in charge of all domestic and foreign policy -- was accurate.

1. I absolutely believe that happened. And I absolutely believe the donald didn't approve the plan

My take on it is this: His kids know far more than we do, about how extreme his limitations are. But they also probably know exactly how to manipulate him.

2. So you are saying the kids wanted to sell him on Kasich had Kasich gone for the plan?

[Siwsan]

3. They know their Dad's not up to the job, but I think they underestimated Kacish's "ethics"

I think they are perfectly capable of strongly influencing and manipulating their dad, had Kasich bit. For all we know, that same offer was made to Pence.

4. You may very well be correct and Pence is actually PLANNING on a certain impeachment of The Con.

5. We witnessed the rise, and now we could be witnessing the fall of the Republican Empire

Honestly, this is like watching the Caesars, all over again. With Trump as the reincarnation of Nero.

I can't be the only one who also sees the physical similarities.

6. Those two boys DEFINITELY look like they could plot against their own father.

7. Clones of Gordon Gekko and Patrick Bateman

Scary, scary family.

11. Looks like they both use the greasy kid stuff.

8. Pence didn't need such an offer. he was unpopular and didn't really have anywhere to go

But i do believe the pick had to do with having a low key guy who will do all the boring day to day work while trump does the public appearance stuff.

9. IF Pence accepts he had nowhere to go. I'm still waiting to see what Rick Snyder tries for, next

We all know his career is as poisoned as the Flint tap water, but I bet he doesn't see it that way. Republicans have a well established habit of creating their own 'reality'.

10. he would have a bigger name nationally so it can help with private jobs
