Kasich 2020?
Hey, I got the Bumper sticker
John Kasich
At Least He's Not F#*#ing Crazy
Kasich moves fuel 2020 buzz
The Ohio governor says he has no plans to challenge Donald Trump in a primary. But he's been busy drawing contrasts with the president.
John Kasich, the Ohio governor and two-time GOP presidential candidate, insists he’s not looking at another White House run in 2020. His closest allies say the same.
But the prominent Trump adversary is publishing a book titled after a prominent 2016 speech he gave opposing Donald Trump: Two Paths: America Divided or United. Almost immediately after it's released later this month, he plans to return to the early voting state of New Hampshire during his book tour.
Between that and a series of aggressive political moves embarked on by Kasich and his advisors, the whispers among Republican insiders about a possible primary challenge to the president won’t go away no matter how hard he tries to dismiss them.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Kasich 2020?
Kasich was obviously a much better choice to lead the tribe in 2016 than Donald Trump. The question for any future tribal leader is just how much can Trump screw up the place and sour the taste for any Republican candidate by 2020.

Re: Kasich 2020?
Kasich would be head and shoulders above the Clown in Chief, and I welcome him to challenge Trump in 2020.
However, my interests are primarily in having GOP candidate to weaken the guy in the primaries.
With healthcare, american values, and the environment at such risk I don't know if I could ever vote for a republican again.

Re: Kasich 2020?
Kasich was my preferred choice in 2016 (of the candidates that ran), followed by Clinton. I do hope he challenges Trump in 2020 and I hope Evan McMullen does too.
In terms of preferring a democratic president over a republican one, I truly don't care. The Democrats really need to win me back to the flock. They can start in Pennsylvania by keeping the governorship and gaining seats in the legislature. And they can start by winning back the Senate and at least getting close to tying up the House in 2018.
If the Dems are just going throw Corey Booker at us and focus their efforts in the big cities and a few select Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania counties, then I'll consider that a major disappointment.
(Edit to add: I like Corey Booker a lot and it goes without saying he'd be heaad and shoulders above Trump)

I think you're going to see a lot of different United States of America over the next three, four, or eight years. - President Donald J. Trump

Re: Kasich 2020?
Kasich (After I accepted that Joe Biden wasn't running) was my choice as well. I've jumped back and forth with my vote in my life. I voted for Mitt in 2012, GWB in 2000, and GHWB in 1992.
But, the republicans' disdain for science, the arts, education, and the environment may have turned me into a Yellow Dog Democrat.

Re: Kasich 2020?
Kasich will just have to be happy as governor of Ohio till at least 2024.
One of the anti-Trump republicans he wrote in Arizona Sen. John McCain’s name
for the 2016 presidential election. Yes John McCain. He was expecting a Hillary win
and when that did not happen all of his plans for 2020 changed.
The democrats have put all their eggs in the destroy Trump basket. Right now they have nothing else but
Deny, Dispute, Destroy and that plays right into Trump's game.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

How can you possibly know what the landscape will be like in 2020?
