Stand Up: A politician making sense

Ohio governor John Kasich lets loose his thoughts on the current pathetic nature of U.S. politicians and national politics in this MSNBC interview today. 

Long before the 2016 election, I told people that the presidential ticket I'd like to see would be Ohio Republican Governor John Kasich for president teamed with Social Democrat Bernie Sanders.  Everyone thought I was nuts for suggesting this, which is fine.  My point was that out of huge group running for president, Kasich seemed to be the person with legitimate leadership experience, and the most decent human being of the bunch.  We need both at all levels of government, and we have neither at most right now. 

Sanders drives Republicans nuts, for obvious reasons, but he had the following on the other side of the political sphere, most of the young people, and in this hypothetical ticket, the two or three things he might be able to actually achieve would really help this country as a whole.  Fixing old and building new infrastructure is one thing, finding a reasonable solution to suffocating college debt is another, and possibly a better blend of healthcare ideas could, possibly, be a third.  In this interview today by Stephanie Ruhle, John Kashich does what only a couple of politicians have done in the last  couple of years, he makes sense.  I hope some Republicans hear him, manage to grow a pair (or borrow some balls from Diane Feinstein), and actually do something worthwhile for once.  I'm not holding my breath, but it's good to hear someone standing up and making sense in the political world.
