Economic liberalism does not mean liberal on economic issues by the American definition of the word "liberal"   And even if it did, who fought and died to make you dictator of who can and can't be a Republican?

Alright ask him who he would have supported for president since 1980 , and if his answer is mostly democrats he is a democrat .

I mean, he wants Kasich to run in 2020 and IIRC voted straight-ticket Republican in 2014, so...

Who didn't vote straight ticket republican in 2014

The fact he still likes Kasich makes it a rarity that he's an Ohio republican

No one's voted straight ticket anything in 2020 yet.

OSR, which is more "fiscally conservative"?

Cutting military spending and raising a sales tax, or raising military spending and cutting the income tax?

The one with cutting military spending of course. The most fiscally conservative option though would be across the board spending cuts(except in Infrastructure and the VA) and cutting business taxes.

Given the election results, me, my Dad, and X. (Though plenty of people did drop off and/or flip on Mandel.)

Slightly more on topic, Badger is entitled to do whatever he wants. I've long wondered why he's still a Republican, but he has his reasons. Even if he's strong #NeverTrump and falls outside the broader and GOP and specific OH GOP molds.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Interestingly enough, the Badg seems to have avoided this thread.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I believe he said one time he was drinking buddies with John Boehner.

That's actually possible

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

IIRC he said he works with his county GOP and helped reelect his incumbent Republican Congressman in 2014.  He also said on AAD he wants to be a judge and I think at one point implied that it would be easier to get elected as a Republican there.

Issue-wise, the only thing he seems to agree with Republicans over Democrats on is the death penalty.  Even though both Clintons and Obama are very pro-death penalty last I checked..

Now that one I hadn't heard.

[Lechasseur]

Yes, you shouldn't identify with a party that you share absolutely zero beliefs with.

Good thing this doesn't describe Badger!

Name some then, I mean this is a guy who opposes right to work low wages laws, supports a remotely livable 15 dollar minimum wage and criticises austerity politics "let them eat cake" dystopian Randism, so you can't argue the whole fiscally conservative and socially liberal shtick.

he also opposes deregulation corporate welfare, tax cuts wasteful deficit spending, and believes that its fascist for corporations to stop employees from protesting on company time supports the basic freedom of speech protections we are entitled to under the first amendment.

FTFY

Deregulation and cutting taxes for businesses = More Jobs
Deregulation: I'd say it depends on what you want to deregulate
Cutting taxes: normally I wouldn't have a problem with it but I think right now it's more important to lower the national debt and deficit than to cut taxes

And its also the company right to fire you for your actions during Work Hours
I agree

15 dollar min wage= Higher Prices and Less Jobs
I agree

Opposing Right To Work= Only benefits union leaders
Workers need to be protected somehow, I don't agree with unions on everything but it's better than nothing

Opposing cutting spending = More deficits
Agreed




You cant be an economic liberal and be a Republican.
It depends on what your definition of an economic liberal is,
and what's necessary to be a Republican
