John Kasich sure has a convenient memory. Asked about how he'd respond to Hillary Clinton's presumptive attacks, Kasich mentioned his father was a mailman (drink!), then digressed to talking about balanced budgets:
I was the chairman of the budget committee and the lead architect the last time it happened in Washington, and when we did it, we had great economic growth, we cut taxes, and we had a big surplus.
Oh yeah, mofo? You know what else led to that balanced budget in the late 1990s? Bill Clinton's tax hikes in 1993, which Republicans absolutely howled would destroy this country. Of course they were wrong, and they helped usher in an unprecedented era of growth and prosperity.
post debate they were touting him as the more controlled and better "performer" do any on the right ever read their own history before getting in front of the nat'l audience and mumble untruths an misleading misinformation about what they did??? 

 that's wild if we or Pres. did something they try to take credit like Bin Laden, if they do something they always try to put it on us which shows pretty much all they do is not something they want to take credit for so like jobs they outsource the blame to us.  but their best performer well he's a ED'er too. elephant dung is everybody else's BS.
