Listen up, y’all: Kasich has Something to Say.
Hey! A rare Kasich sighting in C-bus! It’s to make a big announcement. Lucky for us, we’d forgotten what our Governor looks like. Not much luck left there for either him or us.
My guess is, he’s NOT going to select Carly Fiorina as his running mate.
Johnny, we hardly knew ye! Perhaps that’s why you lost. Or maybe that’s why you got this far at all! Either way, from here on out for the GOP, it’s Trump all the way down.
UPDATE:
He’s been talking for a half-hour and he still hasn’t actually quit. And, slipstream, I’ve forgotten his name just since he started talking. 😉
Good ol’ Whatsisname!
OK.
1Only fair that Samantha Bee give John his send off.

Just you and Donnie now, Reince. Cuddle up and enjoy your Cocoa Puffs with Bailey’s!
BWWWAAAHHHAAAHahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!
2“Kasich, table for uhhh one?”
3“Kasich, table for one!!”
“Oh he must have left already.”
But wait! It’s not just the Trumpster. He needs a vice president. And he needs a cloak of legitimacy from the Republican party. Let’s bring back the bestest vice preznit ever.
Trump/Cheney 2016
You know Dick will accept. Her’s never been the same since he was only one potato chip away from the Oval Office.
Okay- I want credit as this catches fire. That is all.
4Schadenfreude today.
5Hard work tomorrow.
Now he can go back to closing teachers lounges and women’s health resources, AKA Baby Killers For All.
6I don’t know about you, but I am going to miss old . .
old . . .
heck, I have forgotten his name already.
7And another thing! Good ol’ Whatsisname is running a half million dollar protection racket: me and my fellow taxpayers pay half a million dollars; candidate Whatsisname gets the protection, because the Secret Service never heard of him, neither.
I know that’s modest by Texas standards, but Ohio Gov. Whatsisname is modest by Texas’ Gov. Whozathairguy’s standards.
Heck, all of Ohio is modest by Texas standards.
Except me.
I’m immodest, by Texas standards.
8Wally I think you are on to something. Has a nice ring to it.
9But so dose Drumpf/Palen.
Any significance to the fact that Ksick waited until just after Cruz bowed out to quit himself?
10maryelle, it was that Pact they made last week to join forces against Donnykin Drumpfalker.
Turned out it was a murder/suicide pact.
11Primo, good catch. These snacilbupeR are all about privatizing everything. Let them hire however many ammosexuals they can and let their corporate sponsors pay the tab, including insurance.
Half a mil to protect a guy 99% of Americans couldn’t recognize?
12I gotta say this-Melania Trump is butt-ugly. No other way to put it.
13@e platypus onion,
That may be, but compared to say, Heidi Cruz, she wins by a nose. Start looking at other R’s (f) and it don’t get much better (Ann Coulter, Bachmann, Angle, Scarah…?).
(and be careful here, I once got excoriated because I spoke MHO that Barack Obama was one uglee dude; and while I’ve still got a lot of reservations about his Presidency, it’s still far better than that of any R (but IMO, less so than some other D’s could have been)).
14e platypus onion, that might be Melania’s butt or a dog walking backward. But given Primo’s text with the picture, it could be Ksuchasheis.
Did anyone catch a smattering of Donnie Drumpf’s presser last night? Melania was the pretty one. Or, at least give the former model credit for applying make-up. The other two by Donnie looked to be escapees from a wax museum fire. Were those two blonde Amazons Uday and Qusay’s wives?
Frightening bunch. We caught about 30 seconds before changing channels. Told Jane I was going outside to smoke. After that 30 second horror show, I was outside before Jane could say, “huh? you don’t smoke.”
15Wonder if Melania has been vetted for terrorists ties back to the home country? After the shock and awe wingnuts dumped on the Obama women, nothing is off limits when it comes to strafing wingnut women. (except common decency)
16Now, gentlemen, one cannot be held responsible for one’s appearance, just one’s behavior. Let us not worry about how pretty or ugly anyone is but how crude, rude, ignorant, hateful, greedy or hypocritical a person’s character is. We Democrats cannot sink to the behavior of one misogynistic presidential candidate who judges women by his opinion of their appearance.
17We are much better than that.
Right on Maryelle!
18Having been forced to endure the slimy, rightwards trend of the country for several decades (Southern Strategy, Reaganomics, etc.), I must say it is gratifying that no “conservative” is running for President this year. They fell by the wayside, every one. That is true progress.
Trump is many awful things, but he is not a modern-day conservative. I bet they just hate that.
19By the way, it’s “Bailey’s and Lucky Charms”. Apparently Steven Colbert and Tom Hanks both decided that’s a great idea!
20Regardless of the hand they were dealt,we know wingnuts will have to lead trump. Pretty easy to defeat them knowing that.
21Maryelle-I meant no offense to the yuuuugest majority of women. I is just tired of hearing Moochelle or fat ass or monkey woman etc. Payback time, in spades.
22Re: Melanoma Trump, It’s those infected looking eyes…. Why do so many rich, undeserving people sport that look?
23@Linda Phipps
@EPO
I think you’re looking for the word “ennui”. That feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from boredom. I first noticed it in photographs of Paris Hilton’s face. Her eyes that is. “Famous for being famous” isn’t a healthy job description.
24Lynn,
25I hate to be the fly in the soup but the way I look at the world
Hilary is pretty darn conservative and trends toward serving the 1%ers – her crowd – pretty clearly. Yes, she pays lip serve to
many issues that have been ignored for a long time but her voting record is there to read.
Mark, I did look up Hillary’s voting record and it clearly shows her progressive support and votes on bills for Science and Technology, Labor and Employment, Health, Families, Social Welfare and Education. Right now she is calling for paid family leave, equal pay for women, voting rights improvement, women’s healthcare freedom, safeguards for children’s health and environmental safety, just to name a few. Doesn’t fit the profile of a conservative in my humble opinion.
26Mark, as a Senator Clinton voted in sync with Sanders 93% of the time. She is more conservative than he is, but she still ranks as very much a liberal in the overall scheme of things. She does more than pay lip service to women’s rights, for example. And she’s more liberal on gun control than Sanders.
I wish Clinton–and most other politicians–were not so cozy with the rich and corporations, but right now that’s how our system works. We need to change it, but that’s not going to happen in the next four years. One reason I prefer Clinton to Sanders is that she will compromise. It isn’t pretty, but it is more effective than refusing to compromise. I admire Sanders’ ideals, but I’ll vote for Clinton. I don’t expect perfection from any politician.
27LynnN, I’m with you. I wish Sanders’ ideas would be accepted, but I live in the real world, so will vote for Hillary. She seems to be a very hard worker and will take 50% of a deal, rather than throw a fit and walk away.
K-Sick really turned me off. Every other sentence began with, “The fact of the matter.” Yuk!
28Speaking of candidates, Wapo’s fact checkers gave Bernie 4 Pinocchios because he lied about super delegates switching from Hillary to Obama in 2008. He said nearly 200 did so, implying that he could still win. However, nearly all of them switched After Hillary Retired from the Race and released her delegates.
Oh Bernie. You’re supposed to be the Great Truthteller. Sigh.

29maryelle, LynnN and June – yes.
My biggest disagreement with Hillary is I want her to be more dovish. Much more.
30Debbo, I certainly agree. It has occurred to me over time, though, that Hillary, as a woman, cannot be dovish on national defense. She just can’t. She would be labelled as too weak to protect the country before the last syllable left her mouth. Trump is already playing that card to some extent and I’m sure we’ll see more of it.
Hillary is very, very tough and she is very smart. She has done an amazing job of positioning herself to run for President. It hasn’t always been pretty, but personally I want my candidate to be a very good politician. Much like Bill Clinton was.
Politics is an ignoble profession, but if you’re going to do it you should try to do it well.
31Y’all said it well.
