Could a new political party be on the way?
-
Whispers of collaboration waft through the air. Rumours of a new political entity emerging into the light. Stories of politicians ready to cast aside tribal instinct and join something new.
But that is quite enough about the political intrigue in Germany where, weeks before the general election, there is no doubt breathless discussion in the cafes near the Bundestag about who Angela Merkel may end up working with if she's returned as chancellor again.
I talk of the occasional chat here, among those who describe themselves as forced to sleep on the political streets: homeless in the era of Brexit and Jeremy Corbyn. -

Parliamentary governments tend to have multiple parties. In the USA, there has recently been the tea party and the independent Ross Perot. It could be argued that if Ross Perot had not run as an independent, George Bush Sr. would have defeated Bill Clinton. Neither of the Bush presidents were very good presidents - so no big loss. It's difficult to evaluate a president until they are out of office. It's becoming more obvious by the day that Sheik Obama was probably the worst president of all time. The reason for that is Obama's goal was to "Make America 2nd Rate Again". In that regard, Obama almost succeeded.

This is only because the democrats committed suicide. Kasich is starting a "unity" ticket. They will join some other liberal cause, but it will be no different.

I don't know why Kasich thinks he ever had a chance of winning the election.. but he does. He HATES Trum.

He's a loser trying still. We know him. He will never succeed, only deceive.

One of the worst things Trump ever did was seriously consider Kasich to be vice-president.
