Hey Republicans, How’s That Rebranding Working Out?

Posted by | November 4, 2015 21:00 | Filed under: Contributors News Behaving Badly Politics Tengrain


One wonders why the Grand Old Party has a problem reaching out to women, what with opposing equal pay, family leave, and generally taking the position that they should be forced to give birth to their rapist’s babies. It is a mystery.

But John Kasich is not your typical Republican:

Kasich was answering the woman’s question about corruption in government, and decided to use a dieting analogy to make the national debt more relatable.

“Have you ever been on a diet?” Kasich asked the woman, who said “many times” in response.

Kasich responded with a laugh: “You’re the perfect example!”

“So you set a goal and and you reach it, and then what happens? How about a little spumoni, how about a trip to Mario’s,” Kasich continued, referring to possible weight loss incentives.

Kasich is getting better, this time he didn’t tell her he had no Taylor Swift tickets or implied that she goes to all the frat parties. He just chose a metaphor he was sure she’d understand, you know, cause women are always dieting.

    Ryan’s mere $80 B in cuts, was just restored by GOP “So you set a goal and and you reach it”- Yeah that’s partially why POTUS Obama was elected twice: increasing private Jobs (revenue-base) +14 M up +1,400% from GWB’s never ending GOP disasters.

      But, but, Obamacare is worse than slavery and the Nazis and the holocaust put together!

        Thanks Larry I must’ve forgoten! Because I am so amazed by everyone’s NY HC insurance premiums dropping from $1000+ per month to as low as $308/mo. before any subsides. Thx Obama!

    Stop trying to control women and you might do better but since they can’t the left will always get the women vote and it’s all good!

    Good dog, what an asshole. It’s like watching a media dope interviewing a female sports star and instead of asking about her game, HE asks about her skirt.
