Actually I’m not sure if I want this to be true or not, but

John Kasich has reasonable views on immigration.

Why wouldn’t I want this to be true? I’m not sure. I suppose because I don’t want to like any conservative governor after the awful one we just survived in Pennsylvania. In four short years he destroyed public education across the state, especially poorer urban areas, allowed gas companies to gut the environment, and did nothing to fix our state’s pension woes or entrenched poverty (either of which gas royalties could have at least made a dent in when energy prices were so high, but it’s a little late now.) Trading natural capital for financial capital, and restoring fiscal responsibility, are things a true conservative would do. About all he gave us was an entertaining pornography scandal. But I digress – if Kasich has a reasonable view on one issue, you have to admit it’s at least possible he might have reasonable views on other issues too. And I’m about ready to settle for reasonable with this crop of candidates.
