Kasich with his heartland folksy charm might be capable of drawing non-wingnut Republicans to the polls, but he's been out of DC for too long. The GOP has already lost the Senate due to Trump, Sen. McConnell and Sen. Cruz. The citizens are now aware of the total inability/refusal of the GOP to govern in any capacity and of the extremism that has broken out of the asylum. The ploy with Rep. Ryan is a desperate effort to salvage a majority in the House, which very possibly could also flip. The GOP of the past 35 years is history and will never return. Demographic changes are killing it, and it will have to evolve to reflect those changes to be an effective national political party in the future. Besides, Chuck Todd is a propagandist for the GOP establishment and is not credible in any sense.

True, they are dumping a ton of money here to prop up Portman. But, you have to wonder what their internals are telling them if they are this worried about this once secure Republican Senate race.Luigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483229810538275725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-62069841302415737892016-04-11T14:28:42.419-04:002016-04-11T14:28:42.419-04:00Once you drive north of FedEx Field, south of Alex...Once you drive north of FedEx Field, south of Alexandria, east of Bowie and/or west of Chevy Chase, Paul Ryan is not well known and not popular among those who know his name. He's a failed VP candidate, not the Beltway Village dreamboat. He's also the titular head of an ungovernable branch of government, a high risk occupation in itself.AllieGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994768860067988405noreply@blogger.com
