I’ve always believed that if John Kasich and Marco Rubio had left the Republican primary race when it was clear they couldn’t win, Ted Cruz would be President today. I’m not a fan of President Trump, but I fall into the category of being very happy Hillary Clinton didn’t win. If Kasich decides to run again in 2020, he’s going to be what he was in 2016: a spoiler.
There’s currently speculation that his aloofness about running may be a sign that he’s considering it. Duh. There’s also a report that he met with foreign policy advisers yesterday. Unless Ohio is considering declaring war on Iceland, this isn’t just speculation anymore. Governor Kasich is intending to run for President in 2020.
Thankfully, that doesn’t necessarily mean he will. His intention in 2017 is irrelevant when we consider the earliest he could possibly make it official is still a year-and-a-half away. That means there’s time to knock some sense into him. There’s time for him to find other ways to raise money other than running a corrupt campaign. There are other ways for him to stay in the public spotlight he craves other than putting Kamala Harris or Elizabeth Warren in the Oval Office.
He’s already done so much damage to the nation by helping Trump win the GOP nomination instead of Cruz. Now, he wants to make things worse by putting a socialist in office. His contempt for Trump and his addiction to the spotlight need to be dispelled as soon as possible. We have 18 months to do it, folks. Now’s the time to let him know we don’t want him to even try.

He should be expelled from the Republican Party and then primaried out of existence…
He’s also mentally unbalanced and not fit for office…
Ted Cruz would never have been the nominee or won the presidency.
