2016 Interactive Presidential Election Timeline - ROUND 5

[CapoteMonster]

June 26, at Ohio State University

Thank you! Thank You! I appreciate the enthusiasm, but we have some sobering matters at hand. My fellow Buckeyes, we stand today, at a crossroad. The administration tells us we are amidst an economic recovery, yet prices rise, incomes stay stagnant, and working families struggle to meet ends. Meanwhile, the national debt is spiraling out of control, and no one in D.C is willing to make the sacrifices to slash our deficits. Washington as been unable to deliver on issues we should all be able to come together on. Among these are real tax reform, Keystone XL, rebuilding our infrastructure, overdue issues like immigration, trade or entitlement reform, and fully committing America to the urgent war against ISIS! Sadly, Barack Obama's failed moral leadership is leading our youth into a sea of moral relativism. Today's youth are taught to be increasingly accepting of sexual immorality, disregard for authority, abortion, godlessness, low standards of art, and there's virtual despair among many, who look for reasons other than the past  or blind patriotism to be proud of this once great nation. In short, as a result of our nation's moral decay, economy running on life support, and foreign crisis, I John Richard Kasich, am running for President of the United States!

The nation is looking for a proven leader, and the Republican Party must deliver one! I began my career as a long shot to be elected to congress but worked my way up to chairman of the House Budget Committee. As chairman, I played a key role in helping congress work with Bill Clinton to reduce the national debt for the only time in the past 36 years. As Governor of Ohio, I've cut 3 billion in taxes, balanced 5 consecutive budgets, taken on the public sector unions, and presided over lower recidivism rates along with the creation of over 300,000 jobs. The pundits said I was in deep water like our party is supposedly in against Hilary, yet my team and I delivered a resounding 30 point victory in November that was heard from coast to coast! As governor I worked with Republicans in the legislature to the curb the growth of Obamacare to among the lowest in the nation, and as president, you can kiss the individual mandate goodbye! I intend to stand by history as a strong fiscal conservative and vow to bring our debt through real reform of entitlements and a full audit of the Pentagon. My tax plan will reduce the burden across the board while reducing the rate on corporations by 17% to bring back jobs to the United States. As Republicans we must guard against the siren song of isolationism by remaining vigilant in all decisions. I will ask congress for a declaration on inaugural day! The goal will be victory, as soon as possible thanks to a military that takes it marching orders form The Commander in chief, not the UN! So let it be said, that America would once again be a shining beacon for the rest of the free world and not succumb to an era of darkness. As someone who met President Nixon and lifted himself out of poverty  following the tragedy of my parent's death, I felt part of the great American spirit. Yet tragically, much of our history after the disgrace of Watergate has been marked by cynicism about our leaders and gradual decline in the nation's standing in the world. But with your commitment to greatness and willingness to sacrifice, we can make a difference. God Bless America!

The two Democratic frontrunners, one a relic of the troubled past and the other a cranky voice for a socialistic future. Who could prevent such horror? Meet John Kasich, a thorn in the side of the Clintons since 1990s who's been leading the charge for conservative reform even longer.

I'm John Kasich and I approve this message./i]

Fundraiser in Cleveland, Ohio.

Townhall in Dayton, Ohio.

Meet and greet in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Speech on criminal justice reform at Cincinnati University, Ohio.

Excerpt:

One of the most pressing moral issues in this country is the fact that the United States has 25% of the world's prison
prison population despite having only 5% of the world's population. A large part of this is caused by moral decay
and personal instability but another big part is that some people are being arrested unfairly and many more are
staying too long, especially in our inner cities. We've been able to reduce Ohio's incarceration rate by decriminalizing
minor drug offenses and expanding rehab treatments that have led to less criminals coming back and I pledge to
do the same as president!

July 2nd

Town Hall in Hillsborough, New Hampshire

Town Hall in Concord, New Hampshire

Excerpt:


Thank You! The spirit of the revolution was released right here to the world along with it's values of Liberty and no taxation without representation live in my campaign. I am the only candidate running who has led a successful charge to balance the budget as a congressman and executive. I've been able to do so by setting priorities from day 1 in D.C and Ohio. Just recently I've been able to dig Ohio out of a two billion dollar hole by slowing the growth of our welfare state, prisons, and pensions with the help of a Republican legislature. Ohio now has an eight billion dollar surplus thanks to leadership I tend to bring to Washington!

Illegal Immigration is a serious problem in this country. There are quite a few people who want to abuse the system and are as violent as any other citizen already here. However we must remember that most of these people are God-fearing, moral human beings who want to be here. Many of them come from far worst situations than in Mexico too. For those who are law-abiding taxpayers their should be a path to citizenship. We also need to make immigrating to this country easier and be vigilant of illegal activity happening in places other than the Mexican border to reduce the amount of illegal immigration.

[/I offer my sincerest condolences to the Fiorna and Clinton families in their struggle with cancer. So many of my loved ones have been victim to this horrible disease and I pray the same won't happen to them.]

[CapoteMonster]

No no NO JOHN! Screw going to Iowa, I don't need that state to become a frontrunner and were already down 7 to a freaking 1 term governor! Bob Elrich has even less name recognition than I do. I have a plan to make it up now that people are dropping out left and right. Bob Elrich will be even less relevant than Lincoln Chafee.

[CapoteMonster]

July 8th

Town Hall in Nashua New, Hampshire.

Q: What type of Supreme Court justices will you appoint?

A: I will appoint qualified justices who respect states rights and have always used constitutional basis to overturn previous decisions. My philosophy isn't strict constructionist, but I definitely believe in judicial restraint. I've been disappointed at extremists of my party who've called for abolishing the system or putting judges up to election.

Q: What's your tax plan?

A: In a perfect world we'd be able to reduce taxes to around the same rate when Ronald Reagan left office and cut the Corporate tax rate by 17%. However, the number one priority under my administration will be balancing the federal budget and I may have to compromise to do so.

July 10th.

Barnstorming in D.C

Meeting with Rob Portman.

Meeting with Thad Cochran. "Working with each other balancing the budget in the Late 90s showed the strength of bi-partisanship. Let's lift everyone like you did in Mississippi!"

I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a Christian. But you don't need to be in the pews every Sunday to know there's something wrong with America when the person I'm parodying was indicted and when members of my own party call me a heretic for wanting to help poor Ohians. I understand you Iowans are god-fearing citizens who want a man from the heartland like me. I'm John Kasich, and I approve this message.

January 3rd
Debate with Noam Chomsky on socialism at Dartmouth university.
Noam, while your right that capitalism gives those who disregard the citizenry unwanted power, socialism
gives absolute to the very few at a level that just hasn’t happened. Even in the Gilded Age, an era of moral depravity
when some of the wealthiest paid citizens monopolized whole industry, no one could monopolize the whole economy
like your inevitably forced to do in a socialist society.

Q: You’ve made some statements indicating we should just accept the high court’s ruling on gay marriage.
Do you stand by that?
A: Not quite. I wish I could get congress to pass an amendment prohibiting states from re-defining marriage but
there’s not enough public support for that.

AD AIRING NATIONWIDE!



Ted Cruz thinks he's man to lead our party, but can we trust someone who expresses sentiments like this?

The very first political contribution I ever made was to Jesse Helms. We 100 more like Jesse Helms in the senate.!

You mean, this Jesse Helms?



(Real Jesse Helms quotes)
"White people, wake up before it is too late. Do you want Negroes working beside you, your wife and your daughters, in your mills and factories? Frank Graham favors mingling of the races."   "The government should spend less money on people with AIDS because they got sick as a result of deliberate, disgusting, revolting conduct." "UNC is the University of Negroes and communists!" "The [Washington] Post caters to homosexual groups. Just about every person down there is homosexual or lesbian."  "Watch me make her cry. I'm going to make her cry. I'm going to sing 'Dixie' until she cries." - Said to US Sen. Orrin Hatch about Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun, an African-American.



Ted Cruz's Ideal Republican Senator. Any Questions?

July- August

John Kasich continued his main campaign strategy of meeting the national press, putting a plurality of the eggs from his basket into New Hampshire while stressing his experience and success. However, with the sudden exit of Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio he saw a new opportunity arise in Florida. Kasich knew South Carolina was a long shot for him, plus he had the advantage of marketing his foreign policy experience to the influential Jewish and establishment Republican donors. John set up campaign headquarters in Miami, Palm Peach, Orlando, and Tampa Bay in attempt to fortify his standings.

September-October

With New Hampshire looking to be a dogfight Kasich started to shift more resources to Iowa knowing how crucial a good performance would be to beating Elrich. John compensated by planning to put 25 million dollars in TV ads into New Hampshire and another 5 million each into Florida and Nevada over the next 5 months, using the establishment donors who were previously backing Bush and Rubio. He also tried to woo social conservatives who would be  further injecting religious language into speeches while going further to the right than planned on drugs, guns, and abortion. Kasich knew he had an opening with voters should be key to many southern and Midwestern primaries. The campaign also recognized they'd need a broader coalition thanks too Elrich's strong performance with Moderate and establishment voters.

November-December

While Kasich took a break for Thanksgiving and Christmas weeks on the campaign trail, he continued to mash the airwaves by appearing on Fox News 7 times during that time, despite only 2 of them being in studio. John stressed how much these Holidays meant to him with their themes of sacrifice along with policy. Kasich also received a surprising amount of media attention by appearing in the stands and on the sideline for Ohio State Football's victories against Michigan State and Michigan respectively. John Kasich also amped up by scheduling over 40 appearances in New Hampshire during these months to match Elrich. However, he still had some sneak attacks planned for the next few weeks ...


During This Time John Kasich seeked the following endorsements.

Eric Cantor.

Chris Sununu (Don't betray your family).

Susan Collins.

Paul Lepage. (Do you want a pro-abortion beltwayer like Elrich?)

Judd Gregg (Try to earn persuasion by bringing Sununus to the meeting)

Tim Pawlenty.

George Allen.

David Jolly.

[CapoteMonster]

John Kasich has decide to drop out and endorse Bob Elrich.
