“My father was a
mailman.”
That bit of idyllic
family history has me wondering why no other offspring of mailmen have sought
to run for president. Obviously, John
Kasich distinguishes himself as the pick of the litter; uniquely qualified and
profoundly prepared to lead the country.
Seth McLaughlin, Politics Desk Reporter for The Washington Times
wrote,
“From his perch in the Ohio
governor’s mansion, Republican John Kasich is keeping a keen eye on President
Trump’s every move and showing a willingness—some say eagerness—to hurl rotten
tomatoes toward the leader of his Party when he gets upset with the act.”
“He has become a go-to
anti-Trump source for the media and often doesn’t even wait for the press to
call. Instead, he leaps in to pile on after presidential missteps.”
“While insisting he
wants Mr. Trump to succeed, Mr. Kasich has pointedly refused to rule out
mounting a primary challenge against the president in 2020. He said he wants to
maintain a voice in the party because ‘you never know when duty calls.’”
Kasich is a rude
SOB. Ask the Ohio State trooper he
called “an idiot” when he ticketed him for failing to yield to an emergency
vehicle; or the crusade he went on making sure his local Blockbuster store took
the film “Fargo” off its shelves.
“Usually,
I speak out against the status quo on behalf of the little guy, but sometimes I
get a little crazy and go off about something like this Fargo business, with no
real expectation but to let off some steam. I can’t imagine it’s all that much
fun to be on the receiving end of one of my tirades, but I’m here to tell you
it isn’t much fun to be making the delivery either.”
Kasich is a
hothead. While on the campaign trail
during the 2016 presidential election, he got angry and grabbed
a recorder from a reporter for The Financial Times who made the mistake of
asking why he should be the nominee of the Republican Party having won only one
state.
Kasich has a long
history of uttering gaffes. He showed off his love for Hispanics by saying he always
leaves a nice note for the Latina maids at hotels. A month after that
comment, he said anyone who would have problems with his cuts to social
security should “get
over it.” Kasich praised all the women who came
out of the kitchen to vote for him during his first political run in the
1970s.
While campaigning in
New York, he took it upon himself to condescendingly
explain Bible stories to rabbinic scholars.
His most covered gaffe was
when he advised
a young woman worried about the college rape epidemic to avoid alcohol-fueled
parties.
“Kasich eating” was one
of the top Internet searches during the campaign. Then-candidate Trump scorched the mailman’s
son proclaiming, “I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion.”
The Ohio governor has
no plans to challenge Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown who is up for re-election
this year, but the chatter for the 2020 presidential election has heated
up. “There has to be fundamental chance,
in my opinion, with all of us. I’m
willing to be a part of that. I want my
voice to be out there,” Kasich said.
The pick of the mailman’s
litter has spoken.
