In reply to the discussion: Can anyone explain why John Kasich is speaking at the Democratic convention? [View all]Botany
(70,483 posts)26. Yes, John will try to sell the idea that he can work "with both sides."
John is an incredibly manipulative person who believes that Jesus walked on earth so
that he can one day be President.
No way should Kasich be allowed to speak @ the DNC .... I know the he can help in OH
meme but John's folksy "nice guy act" (BTW I know John ... haven't seen him in years)
covers up that he can be ruthless. His dad was a union mail carrier in McKee's Rocks, PA
but that hasn't stopped John from being anti union and and anti USPS too. He is also
a member of ALEC, a Fox News lie-person, and a Koch sucker too.

F*ck Kasich. If Biden wins Kasich will attack him nonstop beginning on Inauguration Day.

In the make up of the GOP of the past 20 years, Kasich is a moderate.
