Son-of-a-Mailman Bitch: John Katshit Will Veto Pro-Life "Heartbeat" Bill and Pro-2nd-Amendment "Stand Your Ground" Bill

Boy, these True Conservatives get truer and truer by the moment. You'd almost think they were moderately liberal RINOs who merely posture as conservative for branding purposes.

Kind of like all of the NeverTrumpers.

So here's Bill Kristol's super-secret stealth candidate. A super-conservative in the mold of Reagan.

If Kasich follows through with the veto threat, this will be the second time in two years he's vetoed the "heartbeat bill," which would ban abortions in Ohio after a baby's heartbeat can be detected. The "stand your ground" legislation would allow armed Ohioans facing a threat or perceived threat to defend themselves with lethal force in public places with no “duty to retreat."

Kasich, the son of a mailman, signed a 20-week abortion ban in 2016 but vetoed a separate measure that would have protected babies with beating hearts from abortions. He said at the time that the law would have been struck down. "The State of Ohio will be the losing party in that lawsuit and will be forced to cover the legal fees for the pro-choice activists' lawyers," Kasich said. "Therefore, this veto is in the public interest."

On the issue of gun rights, Kasich has been all over the board. As a member of the House in the 1990s, he voted for the controversial so-called "assault weapons ban," joining with Dianne Feinstein and other liberal Democrats to help pass the measure. Since becoming governor, he has been cheered by gun rights activists in the state for signing into law several measures they supported. But in recent months, Kasich has been rattling his saber about the need for stricter gun control laws in the wake of recent mass shootings.

Ohio's lame-duck governor jetted to New Hampshire to test the waters for yet another presidential run.

"I mean, all options are on the table," he told reporters. "And the question is, ultimately, can I have a very positive impact on the country. Kasich said he believes an independent run might be a viable option. "There's a vast ocean in the middle," he said.

I'm sure Ben Howe and Tom Nichols approve of this Super-Conservative repudiation of core conservative agenda goals.
