pls leave. would be hillarious to see him become a nobody independent

He didn't threaten to leave I watched the interview he just said he wouldn't support a GOP that was anti immigration and trade then tapper asked if he is planning on leaving the party he said no he's gonna fight to fix it

Yeah, but that's not as fun as this BS title!

Kasich should become a moderate Democrat. I'd support him over Bernard or Warren.

Even if his temperment fits a Democratic Party that is solely focused on opposing Trump, his ideology is absolutely, 110%, undeniably more in line with the GOP than the Democratic Party, and he'd be even more out of place if he switched.

Charlie Crist 2.0? I'll pass.

Charlie Crist is, at least, moderate. John Kasich only appears moderate because of how far right the GOP has become.

Kasich is no moderate, but I think he has somewhat moderated from his days as a Gingrichite deficit hawk.

I like Kasich a lot, but he was opportunistic and filled the void he saw in this past primary season.  Like most politicians, he probably has more of a "world outlook" than this iron-tight ideology, and his world outlook as absolutely more that of a Republican than a Democrat, IMO.

John Kasich is the guy who put strong restrictions on abortion, voted for the war in Iraq, supported NAFTA, Patriot Act & cut welfare & has proposed gutting the pre-existing conditions in ACA by granting the states a waiver. This guy is such a warmonger that he wanted to punch Russia in the nose by playing war-war with Putin - That was his claim in a GOP debate instead of some serious policy to counter Putin.

This is the guy who blasted the Paris Climate Change Conference & wanted on waging new wars. In which world does he become a moderate? Only when the current GOP is a band of extremists. Kasich is a war worse candidate that what Hillary Clinton was - I have no idea why Democrats would even think of supporting him.

Paul Ryan, a strong right wing conservative is a RINO & Kasich is a moderate? What has the world come to!

Mostly False!

- Kasich opposed withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, saying at one debate in the election: "The fact is that you can have a strong environmental policy at the same time that you have strong economic growth; they are not inconsistent with one another."

- A twenty to twenty-four week ban on abortions is supported by a majority of Americans.

- He opposes the Patriot Act now, for the most part.

- Supporting free trade is rarely considered "far-right", considering even progressive Democrats support free trade for the most part.

- Welfare is a vastly, unfortunately complex system, and cannot be simplified to "cutting" or "expanding".

- Using a metaphor hardly makes him a warmonger. Kasich opposed Iraq and the Bosnian intervention.

Support for free trade in 2017 would absolutely be considered more "economically" conservative by most people.
