52. who cares what his plans are, we are using him to try and capture Ohio, not his political ambitions

we aren’t playing like it is 20 years ago

We are trying to win

You make some accusations that Biden is a one term president. How do you know that?

Regardless,when Biden’s termis up, whenever that is, Kamala Haarris most likely will be our nominee, Kasich sure won’t if that is what you are trying to imply

As for your assumption that repukes don’t even know who he is, are you from Ohio? People in Ohio sure know who he is, and that is the whole point, we are trying to get Ohio

We get Ohio, the election is over

Because he wants to stir shit up with Ocasio-Cortez, so what, she didn’t sit ideally by while he did that, she threw his false accusation right back at him

There is a much bigger issue, and that is winning in November
