Every candidate in the Republican race in the 2016 election season has tried to find a way to stand out from the pack — some more successfully than others.
Jeb Bush strongly pushed the “steady hand” narrative, claiming that he had the executive background and temperament necessary to be commander in chief. Bush tried appealing to voters by telling them that he was the only one with the necessary experience to be president.
Ben Carson was “Gentle Ben.” Soft-spoken and self-effacing, Carson stood out by being the only candidate never to go negative in an election full of negativity.
Donald Trump has taken the “bull in a china shop approach,” always being on offense, never on defense. Trump’s no-B.S., take-no-prisoners, counter-punch-ten-times-harder approach has left many candidates and media members mangled on the tracks behind the Trump Train.
Then there’s John Kasich. Both Ted Cruz and Donald Trump have repeatedly called for Kasich to leave the race as he has no statistical chance of going into Cleveland as the nominee. Kasich is instead banking on the prospect of a contested convention where he can emerge as some sort of savior of the establishment and win the nomination on a third or fourth ballot.
Kasich has also argued that he is the only one who can steal enough Democrats and moderates from Hillary Clinton to win the general election in November. But to do this, the Ohio governor has taken many stands that have ostracized him from the Republican base.
Kasich’s latest remarks regarding North Carolina’s recent religious liberty law — which some believe is discriminatory towards those in the LGBT community — have further angered the conservative Republican base. To watch exactly why Kasich is telling those in favor of religious liberty laws to “chill out [and] get over it,” continue reading on the next page:
great take
DROP OUT KASICH….YOU ARE A JOKE….AMERICA WANTS TRUMP….Trump for President…Make America Great Again.
Wait a minute. What did we want as a President? We wanted a businessman and NO Politician. We wanted someone to clean out the Washington DC Establishment. We wanted someone that is NOT controlled by the Koch Brothers, Soros or Rupert Murdoch. John Kasich, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney and the GOP Establishment wants Donald Trump to fail by NOT getting the delegates he needs to secure the GOP nomination and all of them are controlled by the Koch Brothers, Soros or Rupert Murdoch. Hypothetically, now…….he said someone has to be penalized for doing an illegal abortion. If a woman aborts after, let’s say hypothetically at 9 months, she has a C section and kills the baby. She and the Doctor would be charged with an illegal abortion and the doctor would be charged as an accessory”. So Donald Trump is correct! Well folks, we can have a Democrat that lies every time she opens her mouth, A Socialist that has been in the Congress for 23 years and achieved nothing, we could have Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan that ran in 2012 and did not win (their fault), We could have Ted Cruz who lies just like Hillary every time he opens his mouth and has been accused of adultery of 5 women , We could have John Kasich that has become a millionaire from the wall street failure, we could have Marco Rubio that does absolutely nothing and lost Florida (his state) because they know he does nothing or we can have Donald J Trump who is self funded, owes no one and has only been a politician for 7 months. Isn’t he the one we want to be President and Make American Great again. That is the decision we have to make or give up and let the politicians take our tax money, expand the Federal Government, and tell us what they will DO and NOT do based on their requirements. YOUR CHOICE!!!!!!!!
