Republicans witnessed a massive power struggle over the party reins in 2016. And many are still wrestling with the final result and its implications. Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a vocal Trump critic, is one such man. He believes that in the long run, Trump won’t have the final say. In an interview with the Washington Post, Kasich said, “Members of the Republican Party are in a coma right now.” “And at some point,” he said, “they’ll wake up and say, ‘What’s happened?’ And then we’re going to tell them, and they’re going to go, ‘Really?’”

Kasich pats you on the back with a knife in his hand.
Trump, warts and all, is the first Republican since Reagan to run on a conservative, America first platform, and then deliver on it. The things we have dreamed of for years are finally happening now. Kasich's "Democrat-lite" wing of the party has been pushed to the side. He thinks he is smarter than we are, and that he is better than we are, and we should do what he says. Meanwhile Trump stands for the American individual, and tries to do what we say. The Republican Senate has had jelly in its knees ever since he was elected. Hopefully in the next few election cycles, enough Republican congressmen and senators will be replaced with new ones with spines, who live to do our bidding, rather than currying favor with the press and their Democratic colleagues.
Kasich is on the ash heap of history now. He is so far left he makes George W Bush look conservative. Expect a party switch momentarily. He is a better Democratic candidate than anyone the Democrats already have.

Kasich thinks everyone but him is in a coma. He's like the guy driving on the wrong side of the interstate who thinks everyone else is going in the wrong direction.

Yep, I'm waiting for the dipwads that sit on our side of the aisle to wake up and realize that we the people voted for a leader. Wish I could tell them that old saying, 'Either lead or get out of the way' or something like that. Was a slogan for a store for big guys. Big Dogs I think.

Kasich, Kasich? Oh yeah, the guy who only won his home state in the 2016 primaries. The guy who had the opportunity to sell his policies to American Republicans and was rejected. A loser.
Yes, the party is different under Trump. It is winning. The Country is winning. The American People are winning. The world is winning. The only people who are losing are Never Trumpers like Kasich and dems and media and the Left in general, and countries like Iran, and groups like ISIS, and people who refuse to respect America.
This is all much different, a breath of fresh air into a stale party that talked a lot and accomplished little of what they talked about. Some aspects of the party, now that Trump has delivered so much of what they wanted, are still miserable because they didn't anoint Trump to be the deliverer. We are better off without such dopes.

If it's any consolation, no one in his staff orbit has ANY power on the homefront. None of them are commanding anything, but are basically hiding out til next cycle is over. Lost all their credibility, particularly specific lobbyists Kasich had known for 30 years since his early days w Tom VanMeter. No one gives them the time of day. Don't feel sorry for them - power seeking is their life blood. Just that since Kasich became deranged, their alignment went way off.

If the Republican party goes back to what they were before Trump, then they can never expect to get my vote again.

If the dork Fredocons think that we're coming back to the GOP post-Trump, they're delusional.

Nope.....its the same old party.
The difference is that we now have an elected republican who actually governs as a republican and actually tries to make good on his promises.
But the "party".......meh. If the party was different, the RNC would be out there EVERY DAY defending and advocating republican principles. The GOP would be out there every day writing editorials, making commercials, going on tv to educate the voters. If it was TRULY Trumps party, the party would have torn Pelosi, Schumer, Nadler, Waters, AOC et al to shreds for their incompetence and rank hypocrisy. Because it really is the same "ole party", it prefers to sit back, take the hits and let the president do all of the heavy lifting. 8 years of Dubya made that painfully clear,

Kasich has zero support in the party--but keep on interviewing, and printing his squash. It is going nowhere.

Kasich has gone the way of the buggy whip and just doesn’t know it. If he ever wakes up he’ll say “Was I that big an ass?” and we’ll all respond “No even bigger!”

Kasich you are dead wrong! It is you who does not understand that your gibberish is done, gone, evaporated and no one wants to listen to your drivel. Give it up and join the Dems, you have been trying to join them for years!

Now that Trump has been in elected. Kasucks is correct. The Republicans voters aren't going to tolerate a weak get along with demosluts law maker that doesn't do what the voters sent them to Washington to do.

Kasich is the one in a coma. As an Ohio conservative, I can tell you we couldn't WAIT to get rid of this psuedo-conservative who expanded Medicare so that one out of every four Ohioans has it. The man has (presidential) delusions of grandeur.

I celebrate that the Republican party is finally sloughing off their serpeditious communist marriage to subversive demonrats.
