This election could be one of the most important in recent years and it's not to be taken lightly in any sense. In the right corner you have a known racist, who is also a major hustler. He has defrauded millions from investors with his scams and tactics. He says he is a man of the people, a man of the of the people does not encourage violence unless absolutely necessary. He poses as a typical left wing conservative when he views our more of a right wing party hard liner. He is of the Bush era pro war types who does not care what the cost of his actions are, as long as he gets his goals are achieved. If you thought Bush and Chaney were bad, wait till you see Trump and his VP. They will become far wealthier then the Bush family combined. I would not put it past him to work the Koch brothers to cause conflicts; they profit and military grows larger and Americans rights gets stripped even further.(March 31, 2016 at 12:09 pm)Minimalist Wrote: Kasich is a scumbag, too.
He's getting the Sanders treatment - generally ignored by the opposition because they don't consider him a serious threat.
In what context? My mom votes republican and I hate that fact. If she were running for office I'd still hate her economic views. I don't think everyone we might disagree with is "scum" and for him to say what he has knowing it will sink him, says to me, outside of economics, he is not fake. It takes a lot to tell those in your own ranks to shut the fuck up. The GOP's top selling point is scaring the shit out of everyone with Islam, an even he said we cant be scaring Muslims living here so bad they are unwilling to help. I agree.That does not change he is still part of the economic right, but I do think he is not a demagogue.
He'd be more like Jefferson and Adams deal, those two guys fought on almost everything but were never really enemies ever. He is risking his seat right now and any future presidential bid saying the the things against his own party.
And lets remember, when America fought Hitler, it wasn't just democrats or republicans and it wasn't just Christians or whites. I do hate the climate of the right right now absolutely, but I wont throw out every single individual as a blanket solution. Just like not every atheist is PC and not every atheist votes liberal.
I simply see his economic policies evil, but there really was a time when the republican party was worth voting for and valued workers and secular government. I think he has simply realized the win is not worth it. He is throwing himself under the bus.
In the left corner, we have a woman who poses a equal threat, in a variety of different ways. Her values do mirror the surface of a neo-liberial, with the stench of a conservative democrat. She's far from a good candid, and her money trail is less dirty then Trump and his allies. On the plus side though, she's more tolerant of foreign nationals and would be a better candidate in that regard.
Over all though, this is far from over, and a chance for candidate Sanders is still possible. Let's just hope that both parties go's to a open convention to give us a fighting chance to keep both candidate Hillary and candidate Trump out of the general election. If it came down to it, could you stomach a Kasich presidency if Sanders did lose?
