Ohio House SMACKS DOWN Kasich On Abortion and Guns In Same Day

The Republican-led Ohio House of Representatives humiliated Ohio’s “Republican” governor John Kasich Thursday with two important votes.

Kasich, the lame duck anti-Trumper who might try to run against President Donald Trump in a 2020 presidential primary, vetoed his state’s “heartbeat” bill, which seeks to outlaw the aborting of unborn children with heartbeats. Kasich also tried to impose gun control by vetoing a pro-gun bill meant to benefit off-duty cops, but the House said NO to that move as well.

The AP reports: The Republican-led Ohio House has overridden GOP Gov. John Kasich’s veto of legislation imposing one of the most far-reaching abortion restrictions in the nation…The House eked out its 60-28 override of the abortion bill Thursday over strong objections by Democrats, who argued Ohio is leading a charge against women and the bill is unconstitutional…House members voted 67-22 Thursday to reject Kasich’s decision to strike down the gun legislation. It would expand gun access for off-duty police officers and at subsidized housing complexes and allow pre-emption of local gun restrictions, among other things.”

Think about this. Think about how unpopular Kasich is with his own party that the Republican House managed to not only pass these bills against his opposition, but actually found enough votes to OVERRIDE his veto’s.

Kasich stands on the side of gun control and abortion. Republicans want nothing to do with it.

Republicans would be wise to remember this if Kasich actually tries to run in some kind of RINO primary challenge against President Trump.

Also remember that the Ohio GOP completely abandoned President Trump in the 2016 election, forcing the tea party, the NRA, and Women For Trump to carry the great state of Ohio for our president on their own, on the ground.

Kasich is clearly Big League Politics’ Loser of the Day.

‘WHAT A DISASTER:’ Iowa Caucus Results Delayed in Vote Count Catastrophe

The nation is left with more questions than answers on the night of the Iowa Caucus.

The Iowa Caucus was intended to kick off the Democratic Presidential primary by highlighting candidates with a credible shot of winning the nomination.

Instead, the first-in-the nation caucus seems to be more representative of the Democratic Party’s incompetence, after results for the caucus are delayed for an unforeseen “quality assurance” tabulation process. The development has many election hawks and Democrats howling mad, with many suspecting the DNC is dipping into its bag of old tricks with the hopes of blunting or preventing a Bernie Sanders victory in the caucus.

There are many reports of caucus precinct coordinators being totally ignored when trying to report the results of their local caucuses to the Iowa Democratic Party. At least one caucus organizer was outright hung up on by the party when he called in to report results- while speaking to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer live on air.

The mass of confusion is being traced to the failure of an app designed to report results. Iowa Democrats simply explained the unusual delay as the result of “inconsistencies,” offering little to no in depth explanation for what seems to be third world election practices.

Although we’re inexplicably left without any vote tallies the night of the election, exit polls and crowd sizes suggest that polling frontrunner Sanders has a strong chance to win. Pete Buttigieg also appears set for a strong second place performance. Sanders expressed confidence in a strong performance when addressing his supporters in the state.

Former Vice President Joe Biden appears slated for an embarrassment, outright failing to advance to the “viable” stage in many precinct and regional caucus. It’s not entirely impossible that Biden finishes fourth in the primary, a surprise development that would leave the candidate many assumed to be an easy frontrunner for the Democratic nomination struggling as he lags to New Hampshire and later primary states.

MSNBC talking heads could be overheard referring to the caucus as a “disaster” in a some capacity in leaked audio.

As of late Monday night, the Iowa Democratic Party is yet to report any vote results, let alone declare a winner. Big League Politics is continuing to monitor the situation.
