Trump Offered Gov. Kasich the Executive Working Presidency (Vice)



                                           

Donald Trump's campaign reached out to Ohio Gov. John Kasich in May with an offer to make him the "most powerful vice president in history," The New York Times reported Tuesday.

Trump's oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reached out to a Kasich adviser after the Ohio governor ended his own Republican presidential campaign, promising that if he accepted the vice presidency, Kasich would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.


The adviser asked what Trump would be in charge of, the report said, and Trump Jr. responded: "Making America great again."
Kasich has refused to endorse Trump, the GOP's presidential nominee, for president, and won't speak at this week's Republican National Convention even though it's taking place in his home state.

He has said Trump shouldn’t expect an endorsement anytime soon.  And one won’t be coming. Governor John Kasich had said that even to show up at the RNC would be putting a seal of approval to Trump and to what he represents.

The important news about all these is the point that it makes about Trump. Many people that know Trump have said he is not the type to sit behind a desk and do actual work. He is a showman and he likes to be doing things that show how grandiose (my word)  he is. 

This report from the Times says that Trump was looking for someone to be President in chief in place of him,  doing the work and Trump ‘will make America Great.’ Again code for he will be out traveling at the Governments expense and having all the fun without worrying about the day to day operations. 

This is something that if you think about and you have observed and listened carefully to what he is said, he doesn’t want to be President. What he wants is the perks of the jobs. He will be in the History books for ever no matter what president he is. That will surpass any ideas of what his dad thought of him.

I also understand the candidates for Vice President were not really vetted. Trump just look at them and ask what they were, Governor, Congressman etc. He settled on Pence without knowing him but he liked that He is a good listener. That is classic Trump. The people with him are there to see and listen, Trumps does the talking. So in  Pence he is got a work horse that wont give him grief and will free Trump to be showman Mr. President Trump.

If you think about these facts and you like the good parts of the history of this country. A young nation that tries to better it self and be fairer to all its people. Has not gotten there yet but trying. Trump represents not just a change of government but a burying of our constitution. The President will hand the working powers to the vice President and he will be come a President in name only. 
It would be relief if Pence was that smart or experienced on foreign affairs, etc. But he doesn’t seem to be that. I hope we don’t find out. Whomever we get we would have deserved for electing that person.

Tonight is the last night of the convention and soon we will find out the biggest secret of the Hillary Clinton Campaign and that is the name of her pick for Vice President and then the Democratic convention. Before we know it November will be knocking on our doors.
