In reply to the discussion: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Republican John Kasich trade barbs before they both speak at the Democr [View all]mjvpi
(1,525 posts)17. I'm an old white guy from Montana.
Rep Ocasio-Cortez speaks to what makes me a life long Democrat.
Kasich is a practitioner of the type of Republican politics that lead directly to Trump. Ohio has been the center of some of the most questionable Election Day events in my life time. The only thing that he has been on the correct side of history on is when he realized that Trump is evil. Hes a free market Christian conservative Republican. Rep Ocasio-Cortez is the future of my party.

Yes: Kasich is anti-choice; and he's endorsing a candidate who's pro-choice.
