Ohio Gov. John Kasich ripped apart his rivals for the Republican presidential nomination, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Donald Trump, during a speech Tuesday to the Women’s National Republican Club.
Kasich acknowledged a demographic Trump has appealed to in his bid for the presidency, people who are “angry” and “afraid” of the current state of the country, but said that there was a “better way” to deal with those frustrations.
“Some who feed off of the fears and the anger that is felt by some of us and exploited, feed their own insatiable desires for fame or attention,” Kasich said, giving a nod to Trump’s slogan. “That could drive America down into a ditch and not make us great again.”
While he did not mention Trump or Cruz by name in his speech, Kasich characterized his rivals’ tax plans and ideas to balance budgets as “hollow promises.” He condemned the series of back-and-forth squabbles that broke out on the debate stage over the course of the race and said his rivals have “viciously attacked one another.”
“Those who continuously push that type of behavior are not worthy of the office they are seeking,” Kasich said.
In his scathing critique of his rivals, Kasich again deployed a favorite line: that he wouldn’t take the “low road” to the “highest office in the land.”
“I say to you that this path to darkness is the antithesis of all that America has meant for 240 years,” Kasich said.
“Path to Darkness” sounds like a video game or an Anime show.
So not so far off.
What does he do for GOP conventions, rent a room in the hotel across the street and sit in the dark by himself?
… IIRC he’s rescinded his pledge to support the eventual nominee even if he isn’t the one, right?
Then who is he voting for to save America from the said darkness?
Tea Party: Kasich is a liberal. He should go back to Goldman Sachs and FOX.
Oh, fuck you and the “moderate” media label you rode in on, Kasich, you 55-gallon drum of rancid yak shit. You would suck the balls of the Koch brothers and Sheldon Adelson at the same time on a prime-time episode of “America’s Got Talent” for 3 1/2 hours while a military band played “I’ve Got A Lovely Bunch Of Coconuts” and the entire Duggar family tap-danced in the background in order to further your presidential campaign, you fucking lying loser.
