Republican financier Koch says Clinton might make better president

And of course you probably know that this is my problem with her. She is liberal in areas where I am conservative and conservative in areas where I would be more liberal. That and I just don't like her. But that's ok. I really can't think of a relevant politician that I do like. Kasich comes close....

I've met a number of major politicians or at least became so after I met them. One of them, John Ashcroft was extremely, witty, personable, likable and super smart. I would never consider voting for him.

I have also met Hillary when she was First Lady of Arkansas. She nice and very bright and articulate with a sense of humor but was lacking in a politicians charm. She also gave me the only explanation about Faulkner that made sense to me. She is distinctly lacking in the charm and likability department but I'm not exactly an over achiever in that area myself. I would consider voting for her.

I met John Kasich once briefly. He was a rude dick. I was applying for a job back in the early 90's for an environmental consulting firm that was in the same office building as Kasich Congressional office. I walked into his office by mistake. He was in the front office with his receptionist and when I asked if it was the office for the consulting firm his response to me was rather rude. From what I learned from others who knew him it was typical Kasich. I'd consider voting for him.

Point being I'm not voting for best friend. I'll vote for who I think would do the best job and would represent my interest.
 
Chuckie is just reading the writing on the wall and being pragmatic about it.
No one in the GOP, candidate or otherwise, is electable for President this year.

I think he is being pragmatic. Doesn't Koch also donate money to democrats? He is probably just covering his bases so he can still influence policy regardless of who wins.

I don't know if Koch donated to her but I was very surprised at the comments that she might be a better prez than the Republicans running.

I don't think Trump is really GOP and Koch probably thinks so too. And really what he said is "possible". Anything is possible and that could have been all he meant.

Here the news is making a lot out of the fact that Kasich is a native son, born just a few miles from Pittsburgh. I know people have tempers but don't like when they publicly explode. Re: Kasich, I'm more concerned with his record and what he would do if president.

"Here are some of the highlights of his record in Ohio: cut funding to Planned Parenthood and signed legislation that led to half of the women’s health clinics closing; attacked collective bargaining — attacks that Ohio voters rejected in 2011; cut funding to public schools; denies the extent to which human activity causes climate change; committed to repealing the Affordable Care Act, although he accepted expanded Medicaid funding to cover low-income Ohio residents; enabled the secretary of state in Ohio to pursue some of the most severe voter suppression actions in the country; worked for Lehman Brothers, the now-defunct investment bank, which was in the middle of causing the economic meltdown in 2008; cut taxes but balanced the budget on the backs of the poor."

I don't watch a whole lot of TV but the wife often has it on, especially the damn Today Show and the NBC Nightly News. So it's possible I missed it but I haven't seen one ad yet. Our primary isn't for another month so maybe it will pick up.
