75. Rises to the bait, to kick out...?

She responded, reminding people of Kaisich's positions. Kaisich only sounds "reasonable" because he is being compared to Trump, whose idiocy is threatening to take down the Republican Party as well as the nation.

Kaisich talks about "moderates" but he is not a moderate. He signed into law a bill that bans abortion after 20 weeks. He is anti-Union, signing a bill that prohibits public Union employees from striking. He is a Drug Warrior, wanting to "stomp all drugs out of this country". He presided over 15 death penalty executions. He is opposed to the Federal Government doing anything on Climate Change. He supports private prisons. He supports charter schools and vouchers instead of fixing public schools.

He is not say a Trump extremist or a Louie Gohmert, but he is a modern Republican, which is extreme enough to not defend him after he attacks a Democratic Party Representative.
