Kasich: I'd consider nominating Merrick Garland

[MK]

Kasich sometimes forgets he's in a campaign and says things that aren't focused tested soundbytes.
Why wouldn't any rational person "take a look at" every qualified applicant and see if they line up with philosophically?

So the Establishment wants to give it voters a choice between Hillary Clinton and John Kasich?   
 Come to think of it They could actually be a ticket in anyother election year.

Actually, in most other election years they would define the opposite ideological limits of what is possible. They are, most certainly, much further apart than has been common for Democratic and Republican nominees in the past. May be, Johnson/Goldwater would be the last time the gap was greater.

It is a testimony to how crazy this election year is that you even thought of writing something like what your wrote.

Kasich by comparsion to Cruz or Trump is closer to Hillary who just recently had to tilt more to the left because her party has become the American socialist party.

This election was handed to us on a silver platter.  If we nominate Trump and lose, we have no one to blame but ourselves.  And, I think there are plenty of candidates who can appeal to two of the three groups, but finding one who will appeal to all three is the challenge.

You keep saying this, but you don't realize that Trump is the only Republican who can possibly win the election against Hillary. No other candidate currently in the race could do it.

Trump is the only Republican in the race who can't possibly win the election against Hillary.

So explain please explain how all these supposed other candidates would beat Hillary yet they couldn't beat the supposed awful candidate among their own party?     Did you forget the voters actually voted during the primaries?

Cruz = couldn't even win in the south against a NY billionaire who says he never asks for forgiveness?

Rubio = boy wonder who just got crushed in his home state to the above .. not that he couldn't win before that anyway.

Jeb Bush  = Awful low energy loser who makes Hillary look 30 years younger

Kasich =  Pastel 1990's rhino who has spent most of his campaign in 3rd,4Th place. he did win Ohio but the fact that he actually had to fight for state hes sitting gov of with a 60% approval rating is telling.



Of course The polls will show Trump losing in the GE is own party has spent millions on neg ads and even double teaming during debates ...    If Cruz or Kasich had that turned on them you wouldn't be referring to those polls.
