Opinion of John Kasich

[LeBron]

Massive FF! He's a very compassionate moderate. That's why he signed hidden attacks on a woman's health inside a state budget, got rid of an executive order protecting transgender workers, and referred to African American Democrats in Ohio as "you people."

"Your people" [not "you people"] referring not to African Americans but to the votes of Democratic state senators of course.

"Your people", yeah. And actually that was in reference to Kasich's then all-white Cabinet and telling Senator Turner he didn't need any African Americans in his administration.

...telling Turner he didn't need any Democrats.

According to Kasich's spokesman, which really isn't a reliable source. Granted, my source is kind of biased as well, so let's agree to disagree here.

Come on Fitzgerald, I'm sure Kasich is actually a good guy but was constrained by the Republicans in the state.

Kasich has made it perfectly clear that he calls the shots, not the far-right in the legislature. He's also signed/supported things that are amazingly controversial, but you guys only know him as the guy who expanded Medicaid.

He's pro-life, which to you must be amazingly controversial, since it was a position you held only a couple years ago, yet one you now attack and ridicule with relentless vigor.

I think you have the wrong person (I never was pro-life). I'm referring to other things beyond the abortion restrictions that Kasich signed.

He privatized a major state agency funded by taxpayer dollars, rolled back renewable energy standards, was one of the governor's who signed a bill saying it was okay to carry a concealed gun into a bar, SB5 of course, and his budgets literally give larger tax breaks to higher-income families while he raised taxes on the poor. The Ohio Governor also has a lot more power than say, the West Virginia Governor does, so Kasich could have prevented some of these horrid bills from passing. He just chose not to.
