Kasich: Trump Will Never Be President ‐ ‘Normal,' Traditional Republicans Won't Vote for Him

[Breitbart] Former Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s "Andrea Mitchell Reports" that "normal people" who are "traditional Republicans" will never vote for former President Donald Trump after his indictment.
Some guys are easier to dislike than others. John is that guy.
Mitchell asked, "You were a governor, congressman, you know this whole landscape. How long is this going to last? What if there’s indictment on indictment? Does he build on the victimization? Does it help him with primary voters?"

Kasich said, "I think in this case, there are a lot of Republicans that say, is this really a legitimate and fair charge? Frankly, no one is above the law, but it will be interesting to find out how has everybody else been treated because a public figure shouldn’t have more scrutiny than anybody else. A lot of Republicans are like this is political. I talked with some folks this morning in the gym. We wish he would go away."

He continued, "When you look at Georgia, no Republican or Democrat that’s knowledgeable that doesn’t look at the Georgia grand jury or the documents case, which seems to be percolating even more. I think that’s kind of the end of it. I suppose Republicans could put up with this thing. We have to see how the trial goes. You have to see what happens with the press conference today with the prosecutor. How does Trump handle himself today?"

Kasich added, "I suspect that if Georgia comes back on the vote pressure scheme or either the document case, I think that’s going to be too much water for him to talk. But he is like the master of escape. We have to wait and see. Here is what I know: there’s no way the guy will be president. There’s no way these Independent voters and Republicans who are sort of normal people who are the traditional Republicans, let me say that. I don’t want to call anybody abnormal but traditional Republicans. There’s no way in a million years that those people are going to vote for him. So my view is, he will never be president."

Anyone else detect a serious whiff of bullshit with the Everyman routine being used here?

#3 If men like Biden and Fetterman can be elected then anything is possible. By the way Trump was elected President and Kasich was throw in the RINO pile in the primary.

#4 Man has shown he lives in a bubble for years. However, Trump or DeSantis won't be prez because the voting system is rigged beyond anything recoverable.

#5 That washed-up has-been Kasich is right up there with fatso former governor Larry Hogan ("R"-MD).

#6 Kasich is a fool. Either the system will be rigged against the GOP or Trump will win in a landslide.

#7 DDMan, You forgot Mittens Romney in that former gov. role.

I've never understood the love of Rinos for the Deestate unless they're all on the take.

#8 This is exactly what was said repeatedly leading up to 2020 election. They could say it with absolute confidence as they all knew the fix was in. Nothing has changed since so we're gonna watch it all unfold once more.

#9 #7 Easy to understand: money, power, ego stroking, but mostly that Power of Life and Death. Very seductive and for far too many - very satisfying.

#10 I think the plan is to run candidates with strong local appeal against Trump in each primary state to make him appear less popular. They are likely still looking for an Ohio player for the game.

#11 ^ I think there's going to be Olympic (mythologic gods, not woke sports eventz) embarrassment ahead for lots of hat tossers on the GOPe side.

#14 Took me a minute to remember this guy. That's because he's so forgettable.

Maybe the steam bath room.

#16 He may run. There is very little support for him left in Ohio. DeWine would campaign with him sealing his statewide doom. If Kasich runs his candidacy will be based on principle - the kind that is used in accounting.
