Before we vote we must seriously consider the qualifications and character of those who seek our vote. We must ensure first that they are people of honesty and integrity, for no matter what great talent or skill they may possess, if they don’t speak the truth and limit their official actions to the powers authorized to their positions by the Constitution, the enormous power of government at their disposal means we will have created a modern day Golum, a creature meant for good but capable of inflicting great harm on its very creators.

I just got word that Rep. Fred Deutsch, the sponsor of the bill, has changed his mind and will seek to override the governor’s veto in both the house and senate. According to the representative who approached me, there are more than enough votes on the House side, but they are four votes short of a veto override on the Senate side.

Exactly what are the Trump devotees undeterred about? Christian sensibilities, principles and common sense have been suspended by Trump’s supporters and it seems that if Barack Obama has led the nation to the edge of its own demise. Trump has showed up in a nick of time, to kick what’s left of the nation right over the cliff.

Kasich has been tone-deaf to the primal scream of the electorate against more government intrusion into their lives. He supported Common Core and the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, and is soft on illegal immigration. He even supports the Trans-Pacific Partnership, as other Republicans and even Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders now speak against it.

The question the hashtag warriors need to ask themselves is whether they are willing to throw their support and effort behind the only candidate in the race who can beat Trump nationally – Senator Ted Cruz.

We sincerely believe that the Governor missed an opportunity to get out in front of this issue and help accommodate both sides in a peaceful and respectful manner.
