I would ask you about politics but I know you’re wrong. I mean, this IS Politics after all amirite?

JR1 > iSureWilll

That is definitely the general idea of politics. I am right and you are wrong and you're also an idiot. Now leave my office I have more closed door deals to make.

How does the Kasich campaign advertise his speaking engagements?

He was on my campus a week or two ago and I had zero clue he was there until my Dad texted me hours later. I probably would have shown up if I knew he was there.

I’ll go try and find my way out of this paper bag sir.

How often does he peel off his man-suit of fake human skin and let his reptilian body absorb heat and radiation from the sun. That’s what I want to know!

Last week we advertised over phone calls and door to door. I think this is an area they should be doing more social network advertising.

JR1 > JeepJeremy
02/26/2016 at 11:48

Once a week. He has an internal sun source to keep the skin warm other times of the week

Was Charleston as terrible as it seems when I have to work sites there?

BKosher84 > JR1
02/26/2016 at 11:51

Is he seriously the most sane of the 90 that are running for the GOP ticket?

JR1 > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
02/26/2016 at 11:54

No. But I was knocking on million dollars homes so my view in a little skewed

JeepJeremy > JR1
02/26/2016 at 11:54

I fucking hate him

JR1 > BKosher84
02/26/2016 at 11:55

I think so. I am not often moved when I here a speech but his certainly moved me

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > JR1
02/26/2016 at 11:55

Yeah, that’s the what the tourists see part of Charleston.

JR1 > JeepJeremy
02/26/2016 at 11:56

Never said you had to like him!

Sir Halffast > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies

Where do you have to work in Charleston, because Charleston is one of the most beautiful cities on the east coast. At least the downtown and historic areas (I know North Charleston is poorer and not nearly as fancy...)...

JR1 > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
02/26/2016 at 11:57

I was in the Mt. Pleasant area I believe

Mercedes Streeter > JR1
02/26/2016 at 12:05

I hope not xD

That said, he is arguably the second most moderate of this election’s GOP (I’d say Jeb! is the most moderate of the GOP, but he sucks at selling himself)...so not everything would be bad.

BKosher84 > JR1
02/26/2016 at 12:07

He’s currently my Governor.. I’m not a big that he keeps touting how he balanced the state budget, when all he did was put the burden on the backs of the local governments, who essentially had to raise taxes/cut civil services, to balance their own budget. Other than that I think he’s a fantastic candidate (and I’m not even republican).. It’s a shame most of the debates have been going for “RATINGS! RATINGS! RATINGS!” instead of getting actual information out to the people.

JR1 > Mercedes Streeter
02/26/2016 at 12:13

Well Jeb is out therefore Kasich is the one you want!

JR1 > BKosher84
02/26/2016 at 12:16

I know what you mean. I am form Ohio as well. The municipalities have had to change up the budgets but I am not sure the state should have been doing all those programs in the first place.

As for the news coverage. Do not even get me started!

Everywhere but downtown.

I’m voting for Bernie. Unfortunately, there are only two candidates who honestly support the things that matter to me...one is Bernie, the other is Trump. lol

Chariotoflove > JR1
02/26/2016 at 12:57

Sorry, I couldn’t resist. More than a joke, though, I was pointing out something that makes me profoundly sad: that a person like this who has spent so much of his life in office and has so much experience can’t get any attention for his candidacy. Instead, the political story has become like trash reality TV where people only talk about the most outrageous characters and whether they’ll get voted off the island. Elections have become more gawkerized than ever, and it makes me ill.

Sir Halffast > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
02/26/2016 at 13:16

Gotcha. Downtown, off to the east (toward Isle of Palms), and down toward Wadmalaw are some of the oldest and neatest parts of the region.

BobintheMtns > BKosher84
02/26/2016 at 13:48

Until you hear about how he’s the most successful governor in quietly shutting down womens’ health centers....... but yeah, “moderate” -ha.

JR1 > Mercedes Streeter
02/26/2016 at 14:30

What exactly does Trump and Bernie agree on?

JR1 > Chariotoflove
02/26/2016 at 14:34

I couldn't have said it better myself

Mercedes Streeter > JR1
02/26/2016 at 14:42

Ironically, one supports lbgt+ rights (Bernie) and the other (Trump) doesn’t necessarily support lbgt rights, but isn’t on a mission to strip lbgt+ people of rights like the rest of the GOP. He doesn’t even want to overturn the SCOTUS same-sex marriage decision. lol

JR1 > Mercedes Streeter
02/26/2016 at 15:14

Kasich doesn't either actually. He mentioned it in the debate last night.

Mercedes Streeter > JR1
02/26/2016 at 15:17

Heh really? Last night’s debate was the only one I missed so far! It’s nice to know the whole GOP isn’t filled with people trying to force their way of life on the whole country. :)

What do you think about Clinton?

To me, this sounds like a terrible candidate.

JR1 > Mercedes Streeter

She's a liar in my opinion. More so than most people.

Nolan Knight > JR1
02/26/2016 at 17:01

Is he really Ted Cruz in a Nader package as the wonderful folks at gawker claim? He seemed pretty solid to me

Mercedes Streeter > JR1
02/26/2016 at 18:21

YES. She can’t keep her stories and policies straight...changes them whenever polling would work in her favour. And as much as I’d love to see a female president, her reasoning (and this is her actual reasoning) of “because I’m a woman” is completely BS. Not only does it slap feminism and women across the world in the face, but it’s petty. lol

JR1 > Nolan Knight
02/26/2016 at 18:41

He is incredibly personable and just an all around good guy. I also think he is the only one with reasonable policies and not promising things that are impossible

JR1 > Mercedes Streeter
02/26/2016 at 18:54

It takes more than just a woman to be a good president and she does not possess the desired qualities. Furthermore I think there’s a strong possibility she wouldn’t be where she is today with out a lot of back room dealing

DipodomysDeserti > JR1

What he failed to mention was that he was sued by a gay couple (while one of the men was dying of ALS) after Ohio refused to recognize their out of state marriage certificate following US v. Windor . Ohio lost and was forced to recognize their and other gay couples out of state marriage licenses. Obergerfell v. Kasich was the name of the lawsuit.

DipodomysDeserti > Mercedes Streeter
02/26/2016 at 19:20

He said that, but do a Google search for Obergefell v. Kasich . Ohio refused to recognize the marriage license of a gay couple, who was forced to sue them while one spouse was dying of ALS. The couple ended up winning. I’d give it time before Trump starts gay bashing. He’s trying to court evangelicals after all.

JR1 > DipodomysDeserti
02/26/2016 at 19:27

Sure it's politics any republican would have done it. However not every republican respects the Supreme Court decision. Kasich does which is far more reasonable than most.

when is he going to give up?

after super Tuesday or later?

JR1 > pip bip - choose Corrour
02/27/2016 at 09:57

He says he is going all the way to Cleveland

DipodomysDeserti > JR1
02/27/2016 at 11:38

He says that, but the fact he was sued for not respecting a Supreme Court decision regarding gay marriage in the past indicates that, just like all politicians, he’s probably full of shit. Also, the fact that he seems reasonable solely because he says he won’t disregard Supreme Court decisions shows how batshit crazy this field of republicans are. And to say it's politics to not recognize the marriage certificate of a couple because they're gay is pretty disgusting. If those are his politics then he's just as out of touch with modern society as the rest of them.

Mercedes Streeter > DipodomysDeserti
02/27/2016 at 14:05

*Claps*

Agreed, it’s pathetic that we let religion run this country so much that like half of the country is okay with discrimination and with torture.

DipodomysDeserti > Mercedes Streeter
02/27/2016 at 22:53

And don’t let Trump fool you. He’s goin after every group he thinks he can attack in order to build support. Immigrants, Muslims...etc. They had two supporters of his on CNN the other day insinuating that Marco Rubio was gay and used it as an attack against him. I don’t support either party, but for dishonest as Clinton is, the Republicans are an absolute dumpster fire.
