He just doesn't have the slimy pandering demagogic chameleon qualities necessary to succeed in presidential candidacy politics today.
How can that possibly be true given Kasich is a Republican.....

He lacks guile.IOW he lacks skill.Yep. That's why I said at the outset he's an incredibly long shot. He just doesn't have the slimy pandering demagogic chameleon qualities necessary to succeed in presidential candidacy politics today.I dont doubt he'd be a good candidate and an excellent president. But no one knows who he is.Kasich was the chairman of the House budget committee. He's the one who sponsored the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. That's a HUGE plus in his favor.
He's the governor of Ohio, a critical swing state.
As governor, he has lowered their chronic unemployment and created a budget surplus.
And he hasn't drank the anti Common Core bongwater.
Since I like him, some of the rubes round here will probably start calling Kasich a RINO.He just doesn't have the slimy pandering demagogic chameleon qualities necessary to succeed in presidential candidacy politics today.

John Kasich will win and the democrats will lose. You heard me.
The liberals have pissed off a lot of people and they so live in their own little world they don't even know it yet but they will.LOL. OK, and how accurate were your predictions on 2012, Rabid and JD?
I dont think we know either of those things.John Kasich will win and the democrats will lose. You heard me.
Kasich is an unknown outside of Ohio. While he would probably be a great candidate he hasnt announced.
I seriously think the Democrats are finished as a national party. They will lose the presidency if Clinton gets the nomination. They'll lose if she doesnt. They'll lose more ground in the House and Senate. And they'll blame voter turnout, GOP vote suppression, and redistricting.

My sentiments exactly, which is the chief reason I said he is a long shot.Kasich was the chairman of the House budget committee. He's the one who sponsored the Balanced Budget Act of 1997. That's a HUGE plus in his favor.

Kasich is actually a solid GOP candidate. I've thought so for quite a while. But he's got one enormous thing against him:
The GOP primary.
It forces otherwise right of center candidates into the most foolishly extreme positions just to get through it. Take Romney, a man who not only signed into gis state's version of Obamacare as governor of Massechussets but touted it as one of his accomplishments. Yet when going through the GOP primary wood chipper, was forced to take the 'fuck em', they can go to the emergency room' approach to healthcare reform.
Its not that the GOP can't find a candidate that would appeal to independants and moderates. Its that the stain such a candidate with such a thick mire of hard right batshit on the way through the primary process that much of what made the candidate so electable has been stripped away.
Kasich likely won't be able to avoid the politically dismembering effects of the primary woodchipper.
