Sean Hoolehan, CGCS said: Kasich waited too long to jump into the race. Like the rest of them he underestimated Trump. He assumed the novelty of Trump would wear off. He was wrong. I think Kasich would be awesome in the White House, but my bet is a Democratic sweep in 2018 mid terms followed by Tulsi Gabbard as President in 2020. We need more independents to get involved.
I think I would have maybe voted for Kasich over Clinton. Even if Secretary Clinton would have won, we would have continued to see Congress continue with their obstruction, just like during the President Obama years, and they would not get anything done, (Of course even with a majority now they can't get nothing done, thank goodness, well with what I'm seeing them try to pass).
Bold prediction of Rep. Gabbard, I do like a lot of what I'm seeing with her, veteran, hard worker, she is always back in her district, (I do follow her on Twitter). I wonder and worry a little about her backing Sanders, might she be a little too progressive, (she does push the $15 an hour national narrative pretty hard, I'm more of let the region or state decide person) ? I could definitely see her on the ticket. I do like Senator Booker as well, but I don't know if Booker and Gabbard would play nice. I wouldn't mind seeing Jason Kander running for office either, no national experience but was Missouri's Secretary of State and another veteran.
I agree, more independents and moderates getting involved. Too much party over people,
