John Kasich Hoping To Join CNN Or MSNBC Before Possible 2020 Run
[Hot Air] There’s no pressing question in American politics to which the answer is "John Kasich."

Except "Which anti-Trump Republican is the most likely to sign up with a left-friendly cable news network to bitch about the president all day?"

Maybe also, “Which Republican would pose the weakest primary challenge to Trump?”

Seriously, America. One Ana Navarro is enough.
Republican John Kasich, who is thinking about running for president in 2020, is likely to announce as soon as this week that he will join a major cable news network, CNBC has learned.

Kasich has signaled to close advisors and some donors that he is looking to sign with either CNN or MSNBC as he finishes his two-term tenure as Ohio’s governor, according to three people with knowledge of the conversations, including two who have been close to the governor since his 2016 presidential run.

These people would not say the role Kasich will play at a network, only to say that he’s ruled out joining Fox News Channel. Kasich hosted his own show on Fox News for several years in the 2000s.

If you’re thinking hard about an independent run for president in 2020, what’s the easiest way to start introducing yourself to voters early and often? Right. Gotta get a toehold in cable news, if only for a little balance in case they decided to become “Trump’s accomplice” again in 2020. But Kasich also wants to be there as the Mueller findings unspool to make the case that America can and must do better. He’ll have an opportunity to push his anti-Trump message every day now to a national audience as the campaign heats up, and to be paid for the privilege.

#4 Nothing says conservative like hoping to join CNN or MSNBC to launch your Presidential campaign.

#5 The plan is to decouple the concept of conservatism from the GOPe brand. Never mind that the definition of conservative in the political sense was long ago subverted into meaninglessness.

#7 He won't win his home state this time around.

Are these presidential candidates able to some how profit or enrich themselves running for president? Is this something he is doing for money?
