CNN: Kasich, Hickenlooper consider unity presidential ticket in 2020

Johnny should either primary the God Emperor or become a Democrat.

Something like this, yes.

I cannot see how labor unions would stomach Kasich as a Democrat, however.  Kasich had a TV show on FOX News.  He's been anti-union from the beginning of his career.  If Democrats actually welcome Kasich into their party "as is", it would be a sign that they've abandoned the labor movement as a constituency that matters.

If Kasich really wants to be President, a challenge to Trump in the primary is his only way, period.

I cannot see what Kasich and Hickenlooper have in common, other than an alternative to Trump.  They're not real "Independent" or "Third Party" candidates; they'd be a (R) and (D) coalition slate.  Why would a voter support them on that basis?  That's a real question, and the answer is far from clear.

It CAN'T be that Trump is THAT bad.  If he's THAT bad, that would demand that the GOP unify and support Kasich.  But the Republicans, who claimed that Trump was THAT bad had the opportunity to get behind Gary Johnson and William Weld, two (2) Republican Governors, and they didn't.  Surely Johnson was better than Trump, the crazy man, was he not?  Oh, I'm sorry, that's not the conclusion most Republicans came to.

Trump's behavior is either (A) really not that bad, or (B) something the entire GOP is in supercalifragilisticexpialidocious denial about.  Do they really believe that Trump's sideshow isn't really that's harmful, nothing but a tut-tutting point?  Or do they really view him as harmful, but are "managing their addiction" because he's their Signer-In-Chief?  If Trump were the threat to the Republic that the #NeverTrump crew say he is, why didn't the GOP bolt in larger numbers?
