Kasich: Walker Is A ‘Great Guy’ Who Just Ran Out Of Money

Republican presidential candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Tuesday on Fox that he thinks Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is “great guy” who just ran out of money.

Walker dropped out of the 2016 GOP race Monday evening and urged other Republican candidates to do the same to stop the party’s frontrunner, Donald Trump.

“Was he putting you in that camp?” Fox host Neil Cavuto asked Kasich.

“I have no idea,” Kasich said.

“Well, I heard that he was running his own campaign and that never works. I think he’s a great guy, extraordinarily young,” Kasich said. “But he will have another chance. Because as he gets older, he will become centered on the things that really matter to him.”

“I know him well and he’s a terrific guy,” Kasich added. “He just ran out of money.”

  1. Gov. Kasich, no, Gov. Scott Walker is not a great guy. Plus, he ran out of Koch money because he and the people with whom he surrounded himself spent very extravagantly and on many endeavors that would normally be considered a waste of money if one were on a budget with a realistic understanding of one’s actual resources – in this case, the Koch brothers were the source of the vast majority of the money that what was being spent. After awhile, I’m guessing the Kochs decided to cut their losses and start all over with some other malleable Tea drinker.

  2. How does Rick Perry feel about people rushing to say “Great guy” when someone else drops out?

    A 200% inaccuracy rate in the same sentence. That’s efficiency, that is.

    Neither Kasich or Walker are “great guys.” Both have pushed policies that redistribute wealth upward. Both have records of narcissism and both will never be President.

    Walkeer still has $20 million dollars in a super pac. The problem is the Kochsuckers soured on him after his many gaffes and the word was out.
