Hillary Clinton in Two Paths, by John Kasich

On Principles & Values: OpEd: Out of touch with & dismissive of blue-collar workers

I cast my vote for my good friend John McCain. To those who suggest that my vote would have been more meaningful, more impactful if I had cast it for Hillary Clinton, I offer this: I could not have stood with her any more than I could have stood with Trump. I was opposed to her political philosophy: she represented bureaucracy, more taxes, more regulation--all the things that I believed were choking out our country. I looked at Clinton and the people who would likely make up her administration, and all I could see were the slow, tired, worn-out approaches of the past.

As to Hillary Clinton's demeanor during the campaign, she was dismissive of Trump's supporters, many of them the blue-collar workers like my mother & father. She was dismissive of Trump himself, and she struck me as out of touch with the heart & soul of our country, as if she'd forgotten the very people who'd strengthened her party. Yes, she offered a clear alternative to Trump, but it was an alternative I wasn't buying.
