Kasich Should Run A Primary Campaign Against Trump [View all]

If Trump is still in office in 2020, we should hope to see John Kasich, the Republican Governor of Ohio, run a Primary Challenge against Trump.

Moderate Republicans might rally to Kasich, and Trump may have done some more terrible sh!t to own up to by then that alienates him from more Republicans.

Hopefully we can get Republicans to abandon Trump. Not that I want Kasich over a Democrat in the White House. Still, I would rather risk losing to a Moderate Republican like Kasich than four more years of this incompetent narcissist and his awful enablers (Pence, Bannon, Spicer, etc.).

Kasich was just on Real Time with Bill Maher and said a lot of sane and smart things about Medicaid and Health Care.



I hope that Trump is out of office before 2020, by Impeachment or Removal through the 25th Amendment. Barring that, hopefully someone like Kasich will knock Trump out in a Primary, and then we will have a real choice between a sane Republican and a good Democrat. Then our National Nightmare would be over.
