John Kasich has talked a lot about how his experience in Washington DC in the 1990’s, as a Congressman, prepared him for his role as Governor of Ohio, and as a contender for the office of President of the United States.
There is at least one vote that Mr. Kasich made in 1993 that may cost him the Ohio Primary on March 15: NAFTA.
Pat Caddell warned in Breitbart today:
Veteran pollster Pat Caddell warns that Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s vote for the North American Free Trade Agreement during his tenure in Congress could cost him both his approval rating as governor and the critical state primary.
“I believe — I haven’t gone back and looked — but I think he was in Congress in ’93 and if so, I’d bet you he voted for NAFTA. How much do you want to bet? Somebody ought to look that one up. That’s the real point this morning that could change the election in Ohio,” he told Breitbart News executive chairman and host Stephen K. Bannon on Breitbart News Daily Friday morning.“If he did, as I suspect, vote for NAFTA, he could get killed on this now,” he continued.
Caddell warned that voters who saw their state and the nation’s manufacturing core gutted by free trade deals would dump Kasich for Trump.
“If Kasich voted for NAFTA and Trump gets a hold of that, he will lose Ohio,” he said.
Well, guess what? Pat Cadell is right about Kasich’s vote on NAFTA:
Looks to me that Kasich will say anything to win an election.
Will Trump pick up on this in his stump speeches?

Well, well, well. This bodes well for Trump because I have every reason to believe that this will be read by the Trump people if they haven’t looked it up somewhere else already. 🙂

I’m sure they will see it on Breitbart.

I really think Trump’s quiver is full. Trump tipped his hand a bit when he let the information about Rubio using a house in a depressed market to mask a hmm… $200,000 donation slip out. Rubio immediately smiled broadly and threw his hands out widely to his side as if he was in disbelief about the allegation. Rubio knew immediately what Trump said was true so his response must have been more about the fact that Trump knew about it and that Trump had the audacity to reveal yet another dirty little secret.

The older union guys know about NAFTA, but more relevant to the younger folks is Kasich taking money from the schools for his slush fund, the one about which he brags so much. The school budgets have been devastated, as have county and city operating budgets from which Kasich also took money – think LEO, fire, and roads. The gov workers are still angry over what Kasich tried to do to their union pensions. Ohio voted and overturned that law. That is what I hear more than anything else. But NAFTA is a good point that needs to be mentioned, thanks.
