If Kasich were this perfect candidate that he is made out to be around here, he would have won the nomination.
How many more brainless versions of this comment do we need? Doing better than Trump vs. Hillary =/= being a “perfect candidate.”
Also, if we apply his argument to other races, you would have to come to the conclusion that flawed candidates like Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock, or Christine O'Donnell were more electable than any of the other Republicans running in those states.
But you’re not going to change the minds of cultists anyway, so arguing over this is most likely a waste of time, especially on a forum like this. These people are ridiculously adamant about their narrative for obvious reasons.
Lol...now I am a cultist for pointing out the reality of what happened in 2016. The only “narrative” that’s usually espoused on these threads is that Trump was somehow this terrible candidate who only became president because of an avalanche of cosmic accidents. When people point out that he pretty much swept through the primaries and then pierced the fictional “Blue Wall,” they are labeled as delusional cretins, despite the fact that that is exactly what happened.
It’s deja vu all over again with the 2018 midterms. When I point out that D+4 with 16% of the electorate undecided is hardly a wave, I get five posters rushing to tell me how stupid I am for not believing in this foregone Democratic earthslide that will inevitably happen in November. I’m the one on here who lives in reality, yet somehow this makes me a partisan hack.
