Pic Of The Moment: Ted Cruz "Honored" To Have Real Life Exorcist On His Colorado Leadership Team

45. Kasich has extremist and corruption baggage too.

In spite of his pretences to moderation, it'd get hauled out. Along with the Kochs, Kasich has been with ALEC since its formation. He was right up over his hairline in the Lehman Bros corruption and collapse.

He also has a way of letting..."old fashioned" attitudes slip in public that would be setting off minority alarms big time, including a new, good one just recently

I will tell you this. The issue of infant mortality is a tough one. We've taken that on, and one of the toughest areas to take on is in the minority community. And the community itself is going to have to have a better partnership with all of us to begin to solve that problem of infant mortality in the minority community, because we're making gains in the majority community.

None of the black people I've ever known needed white people to help stop them killing their babies, and Kasich isn't talking about the effects of poverty here. He's talking black and white. And there are actions while governor, such as a discriminatory "partial" food stamp waiver for instance (partial as in no food stamps for counties with black populations). Minorities would shun him, of course, but this'd cost him with moderate white conservatives and independents too.

I could spend a lot of time on this and need to stop. The more you look into Kasich's background, the more dirt there is. Election tampering/voter suppression. Shift yet more of the tax burden onto working classes.

He's been cagey, separated himself from the Kochs, postured moderate, accepted the Medicaid extension, but if he isn't not-so-secretly with that extremist right-wing crowd that is scheming to make most federal government actions and programs declared unconstitutional, I'll eat my ballot.
