#TrumpTuesday is tomorrow

I hear his hands are too small to pull the lever for his own candidacy.

I'm hearing no one wants him to be president, not even other republicans.

Had Romney not flopped in the general election, I think Kasich would be doing extremely well. But the GOP electorate doesn't want another moderate governor this year.

Trump turned the GOP cycle into a chest pounding contest, which doesn't fly for any of the passive guys like Kasich. Also ISIS and Putin made fear mongering a big selling point of the Trump/Cruz/Rubio crowd, and Kasich was never trying to rally up fear but just instead laid out his plan for dealing with that calmly. Also why he got left in the dust.

Every day I hear people say ...

I want a social liberal and fiscal conservative.

Here is, with verified sound bites and a liberal watchdog group saying his fiscal standing is mostly true.

So here he is.

Vote for him ... or shut the fuck up about your want for a social liberal and a fiscal conservative.

This is a guy who liberals and conservatives can both feel good about voting for.

And he's the only fucking adult in the room.

I think you are explaining the whole issue with the Republican nomination process, aided by fox news and other conservative media. What makes news is shocking statements and vitriol. (Liberal media isn't any better). But the Republican base gets off on that shit and whoever says the craziest stuff gets the most pub and the nomination.

Kasich is by far the best candidate in terms of policy. But a terrible candidate in terms of marketing himself.

The GOP nomination process has always been the orderly one.

Next guy up ... has always been the mantra.

And the focus is ...

You say you want a social liberal, and a fiscal conservative.

Reality ... Trump is giving American's what they want.

Trump isn't a fiscal conservative.

HTH

Fiscal conservatives don't exist.

It's almost as if Kasich is this year's John Huntsman.
