#NBCNews #RonDeSantis #2024
Kasich is incredibly insightful, he was spot on about the Republican party fearing the demographic changes. This is why they’ve been anti-immigration for the last 2 decades, it’s why they gerrymander their state governments in the most blatant ways, it’s why they pass voter suppression laws, its why they dont want DC or Puerto Rico to be made states and its why they continue to support an obviously flawed justice system and, by extension, the prison-industrial complex. All of those policy stances serve to suppress the minority votes that always skew liberal. On top of that, this is also why the republicans refused to approve obama judges, held off from allowing a vote on a supreme court justice for several months at the end of obamas term and then rushed a supreme court justice through in a couple weeks at the end of trumps term. They know they are going to struggle to win elections in the next 10-30 years so they are trying to pack the courts so that they can attempt to fight liberal legislation through the judicial system since they wont stand a chance legislatively.
Book banning fascist bad. John Kashic good. He is the one Republican in this country, I would consider voting for. I am a lifelong Democrat, I stopped voting for any Republicans after the Republican party pursued Clinton relentlessly, over BS. Kashic was the first one I considered!
Ron DeSantis provoked an attack on him self by SHOWING the Republican Party’s True intentions and ideology!!! We can’t accept a racist Bully running our country!!!! The GOP has to GO!!!
Trump and Desantis are more like cultural racists. In addition there’s no way the GOP will support a Black candidate. I’m personally very happy that the GOP is so adrift, as it almost guarantees that the other guy is going to win! Dear Trump, keep up the good work!
Kasich demonstrating exactly why he lost. Defending children is not a divisive issue which is why DeSantis won in a landslide in Florida, including with Hispanics, women and Democrat-majority Miami Dade.
Nobody banned any books in Florida and nobody is bashing anybody. Shameful of Kasich to repeat those false left wing talking points.
A youTuber got a six pack of beer with their picture on it and they shared it to their own YouTube channel for their own subscribers to see and right wingers declared Jihad on Anheuser-Busche. That’s peak Culture War. DeSantis pushing Jihad on Disney just solidifies that. I’d vote for a Moderate Republican….Hogan was a great Governor here in Maryland…but not any of the Culture Warrior GOP Fundamentalists
Kasich represents why I hated the Republicans before Trump. Kasich is a two time loser because he doesn’t push back on the false woke narrative and their fascist oppressive big government Progams.
DeSantis is a winner who is forward looking and fights for what is right.
Fascists ban books. And americans love fascists. Please vote for him if you want to be ruled by fascists
“What he did to be a leader.”
He opened the state economically by sacrificing lives; he left the state when it was flooded; he drove away billions of dollars worth of the latest Disney expansion; and he’s alienated three-fourths of the general population through cultural issues most in the country don’t agree with him. Plus, the whole book banning and historical white-washing he’s perpetrating.
Probably best he doesn’t mention that, John.
The Republican party of no ideas, lies, big spending, tax cuts for the rich and PESSIMISM. it’s going to be a big beautiful blue wave, a tsunami, a landslide in 2024 #outsider2024
🧑🏫#sorry kid that 📚 is on the ban list.🤐
Kasich you’re such a roach. DeSantis has only banned books for young age school children that are PORNOGRAPHIC. Why anyone would disagree with that blows my mind! You people are sick!
Reagan was not “youthful and forward looking”. His campaign actually coined the phrase “Make America Great Again”. Conservatives have always feared change and have always wanted a return to some alleged superior yesteryear. It’s right there in the label – “conservative”. Kasich is another republican who doesn’t want to acknowledge the direct throughline from republicans’ regressive ideology to one Donald Trump.
We, the People are looking for ‘safety for America’. and now we know it won’t come from Republicans!
… FROM THE DESK OF A BLACK MAN 🎩 …..
” SOUTH CAROLINA SENATOR IS NOT A HUMAN …. HE’S A ❓.
They looking for the racist They can find
Tim will never got them racist in SC
Trump is a God to the racist
There’s more choices
And how are you going to win telling the American people all you want is power and a dictatorship.
Liar, Dems are fighting crypto, not embracing it. Crypto is future tech, so the right is now better aligned for the future than the left.
At least Trump was original, we do not need any copycats, that does not work, people now know the playbook …
Ron DeSantis doesn’t want blacks in Florida that’s racist that means understanding those doesn’t like black
Have either of you to ever seen $5 million transferred in a story 0:33 yes was answer 0:50
Is there a way to check and a digital human? If we’re free to go or if the guys there using inside of us is keeping us detained which is false imprisonment in the state of New York I’m sure you can get at least three years for that or a T8 vertebrae machine 1:22
President Donald j Trump’45 i has the experience to handle China and the enemies of the united States of America. ( Russia , Iran , )
LOL a Putin boot licker. American business and American consumers seem fine with doing business with China.
Tim Scott will not get 6% of black voters.
He failed on the George Floyd bill. He’s done!!!
Great show!
Fighting and resistance against modernity and metaphysical reality.
Kasich seems too decent to be in politics
Politicians used to be decent.
right. except the book banning won’t fly in the general election. he has no chance.
Kaisich got some street cred even for a republican and he is a thousand times better than desatanist and dump
America the sick … one screwball worst then the other to lead a sick nation.
I can’t let go of piney point that toxic lake that he is dumping into Tampa Bay. When the liner broke he had to evacuate 300 homes and a prison. Nothing has been done
Don’t have no leaders 🤔 only clowns and fools 🤡🎪
Why are you interviewing a guy who lost twice about how to run for president?
Trump 2024
No thanks.
The candidates moving to the right are the candidates we should elect. The ones who moved to the center are the ones who compromise and let evil take root in our great country.
What a wise leader. He should run for president
I have a lot of respect for John Kasich, and I’m a Democrat. I like his honesty and moral integrity.
I totally agree with you, I’m a DEM as well but I would be ok if Kasich was in the race & won he is a class act like my fav Obama will always be.
Unfortunately, some Americans are eagerly fascist.
I was okay with Kasich winning in 2016 shoot can he run now?!?!
John, why don’t you run? I am a die hard Democrat but I would gladly vote for you!
GOPs are trying to keep control for the next generations. We will not let them win.
He got both in the Miami area because of redistricting. As well as conservative Latinos that’s self-identified on the census as white
Kasich was the only reasonable candidate in 2016.
In the 1930’s, a famous author (who banned books and demonized immigrants) was elected chancellor of Germany. That didn’t work out too well for the world.
😂
Correct
And apparently they have rampit crime! Niiiiiicccccceeee repugnetons!😊 I know; ban more books restrict more personal rights; that aught to help! 😅😅😅
I don’t know how you win banning books myself. Especially books by Rosa Park. This guy is a true nut case
Lol Ron opening the state was a bad idea to me. Many people passed away from it. This guy just reminded a lot of people about that lol 😂
Kasich nailed it. The GOP is SCARED of what’s about to happen to them. They KNOW what’s going to happen in the very near future and they’re done and losing power. The cis gender, Christian, white male is losing most of their control and becoming a minority. The boomers in Congress will all be gone in 10 years and politics will be forever changed and NOT in their favor. So what you’re hearing RIGHT NOW is called the death rattle. Yeah, there are nuts like MTG and Boebert, but they’re short timers in it for quick fame, not to do anything positive for constituents. I wish he would run again. He gets it.
Hahaha he didn’t ban books and still lost
If DeSantis is allowed to win the presidency, it will,be a grave mistake. I dont believe he is presidental material. Help!!!!😢
Golf reference that’s good regular folks Wake up Wake up blue collar
BIDEN “I want to be a president for all Americans”
DESANTIS “I want to be the president for white nationalist only”
People don’t look like us?
Florida is going blue after he screws us over
He’s beyond pathetic! Republicans have no one to rely on!!!!
Rasist,think nobody will vote for him
Can’t stand either Chuck Todd or Kasich!
Can we ‘BAN’ desantic?
Like Church and State are separated,
Like in law we have the separation of powers
So too Politics and Culture must be seen apart. Politicians should have little to no say in cultural customs and traditions or try use ‘differences’ to fuel a social war to create divisions. These differences should be celebrated and enjoyed as part of rich history in variety. Fortunately the world has more to offer than just Christian Nationalist’s oat meal every single morning so feel blessed with some Jamaican pulled chicken. Culture offers the diversity and variety in enjoyable tastes. Unfortunately DeSantis, like Trump seem to think every American should start listening to that repetitive republican monotonous whistle that’s been ringing in our ears since 2016 and it has become INCREDIBLY ANNOYING. If anything, it’s time to finally get the needle from the record because it’s been stuck in the groove for 6 tedious years.
SOMEONE PLEASE SING ME A DIFFERENT TUNE FFS 😩
(And get those barking republican dogs finally send to a big farm up state where they live happily ever after🤫)
Cultural differences are BEAUTIFUL
Embrace them and every day could offer you something new to enjoy 😊
Well Hitler did start banning books and next burning them and after that was killing people and that will be happening with DeSantis .
CREEPY RON DeSantis shouldn’t be a Governor, especially definitely not a President.
Trump 2024
As a Republican myself (for now), I’m disgusted by modern Republican politicians: Trump (would-be insurrectionist), DeSantis (dictator mentality), MT Greene (horrible human being), Santos (liar and fraud).
Can Republicans offer a candidate the party can actually be proud of?
He can win base on his record in FL and being a great governor.
You know who should have ask who are these people that can replace us? The Native Americans. Anyone else needs to shut their mouths if they are honest with themselves.
White people need to treat minorities how we wanted to be treated when we become one!
I hope Kasih runs. I would vote for him over a lesser democrat and I am a democrat.
Mussolini DeSantis thinks he can win without Black votes.😂
Love this guy… I wish he would run again. He is a noble candidate.
DeSantis the devil,he should banned of the earth
Next he will ban teaching how to read. You cant ban all books but if you cant read then you dont have to ban books
Make no mistake, Kasich is as dangerous as DeSantis and Trump to our democracy, and possibly more so. He’s more intelligent, more cunning, and more devious, but his endgame plans are the same. Anyone voting for any of the three stand against the Constitution and democracy in general!
If Hillary Clinton had turned around and slapped Trump on the stage at the debate we would not have this problem with him today. That is going to be history’s explanation of Trump.
De Satan!
DeSantis is on something. Strange man.
He failed with the hurricane – he had the wrong area evacuated. Walking around in white rubber boots post-facto is not leadership.
Thats easy to manipulate without culture 😮
kasich is a loser many times
I hate it this guy cites popular culture artists. Sorry.
DESANTIS IS YOUNG AND STUPID!!! GIVE HIM CHANCE….HE LL GET STUPIEST!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ron 451 takes US closer to book burning with his anti-intellectual bigotry.
So we are all going to ignore the fact that chuck was trying to end the interview to quite some time but the GOV kept talking 😂😂
DESANTIS IS ABAD P ERSON? BECAUSE. HE IS LEADINBD US TO THE WAY CUBA IS RUN?
Trump is running ads against DeSantis, saying he is levying heavy taxed on everything, 23%, I don’t live there, DeSantis needs to clarify it for himself.
POTUS Biden’s party only lost 21 seats at the House of Representatives (HOR) after midterm elections. That is way better than POTUS Obama did in his first midterm election. The GOP got almost 50 seats in the HOR.
I will never vote for DeSantis. Is POTUS Trump or nobody else.
I made sure I got my “I read banned books “ bumper sticker today. Not interested in turning this country into Germany of 1940.
If trump runs DeSantis will not win
DeSantis is a Fascist…of course he’s banning books.
I believe in Jebus, the second amendment, the confederacy, and Trump. And don’t even get me started about those satanic creatures that care about their country or werk for the gubern-mint. Some day holy trump will reign terror upon all the non Jebus lubbing demonr-ats. I know this, My IQ was tested at 21, higher than most other repubs. In all seriousness, in human history has there ever been anything more stupid, traitorous and vile than the average US repub?
Gov Kasich, if only the Republican Party can carry 75% of the way you are thinking trust me then I will say the party can be saved from the demons of MAGA. Now republicans are paying dearly for the demon they raised and he will take everyone 6feet .
The polls have to be wrong when they say Dems don’t want Biden, he’s done everything he said he’d do, a huge investment in Infrastructure with money that’s creating jobs, the lowest unemployment in years, the largest investment in the environment under any Am Pres, huge reduction in prescription drug prices, increasing the IRS budget so they can go after wealthy tax cheats, investing in communities that have been passed over in the past, re-starting manufacturing, appointing judges that look like America–and a LOT of them–including the first black woman SCOTUS Justice, and the first black woman judge on the 11th circuit–which is Alabama, GA–; a cabinet that looks like America including the first Native American Secretary. Any Dems who are unhappy with Biden as the nominee are either stupid, or just not paying attention.
