Actually, no. But at the moment, Kasich has little chance to win the nomination of the party of Trumpism. He's too reasonable and doesn't traffic in conspiracy theories.

To the extent that this subset even exists anymore within the Dem party.

Thank God for that. As a Presidential candidate, Kasich is a fine Governor.

I'd say that the Center Left is better represented in the Democratic Party than the Center Right is in the GOP. The Center Right (aka RINO's) have been all but excommunicated/retired. In fact, in recent special elections and primaries, the Center Left has been pretty successful. The Center Right gets no traction whatsoever, particularly if the candidate won't prostrate himself before your Dear Leader.

As I said, he doesn't throw enough red meat and traffic in conspiracy theories, both of which are critical for successful candidates in Trump's GOP. While I see these as attributes, you apparently see these as disqualifying.

You can keep saying it, but it doesn't mean that its true (or that I care).

While this thread isn't about Trump, one thing is certainly true: Trump will never be homeless, because he'll always live rent-free in your head.

The entire GOP is in his thrall, including you.

The center held in yesterday's primaries, especially in California (sorry Rajoo ). I don't know where you're getting your information these days but Finnbow is right, there are no more than a handful of centrists left in the Republican party and they are pretty much isolated. Y'all might as well have Trumpublican tattooed across your backs.

Some reading for you - http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-n...606-story.html

PS You're high if you think Schultz is some kind of Democratic hero. Dondillion is right, there's no way a Dem hacks at the safety net provided by SS and Medicare/Aid.

Sad lil' Trumpanista. You should stick with the Daily Caller/Faux News silo where reality is often 180 degrees out from the truth.
