Kasich: I would ban teachers' lounges

The more damning part of the quote is him fantasizing about being a king.

Makes me like him more!

Well, so much for Huntsman 2.0.

The Huntsman comparison is apt in some ways - both candidates seem like something out of outer space when they're on the stage with other Republicans - but it's always been off the mark in others. Frequently hilariously so, e.g. Jon Huntsman looks and dresses like a G.Q. model, John Kasich looks and dresses like my dad.

There are many great things about Jon Huntsman, and this is one of them. Huntsman also comes off as more cerebral and mild, while Kasich has always been known as a prickly, no-nonsense type.

Is this seriously the world we want to live in?  A world where a presidential candidate can't make a joke without some partisan hack ignoring the context and pretending he was serious?  We can just have every candidate be twice as boring as Scott Walker and five times as timid as Hillary Clinton.  Is this what you want?

Every Republican, you mean.

If you can't be a "moderate Republican" while not being a fan of unions, then there have been under ten ever.

And those ten were legitimate Republicans In Name Only.

The only people exhibiting any kind of shock over this are literally only leftists. No Republican here is showing any kind of shock or (?) disappointment.
