Ass Clown of the Day: John Kasich

Look at him.  It's a face that looks like Gollum.  Well, maybe a bit more hair.

Here's the thing with John Kasich.  He passes himself up as the reasonable midwest "Oh, Gosh" candidate, but lurking behind that ugly puss is his record in Ohio and it's pretty dismal:

1) School scores have fallen significantly under Kasich's rule.

2) School funding for Ohio's public districts have also fallen.123

3) Test scores from Students have also fallen, while tuition costs at Ohio's public universities have skyrocketed for instate residents.

4)  Funding for Ohio's library system - which twenty years ago was the gold standard for other states to measure against  - has continually dropped as Kasich pushes funding support down onto property owners already suffering from property tax fatigue.

5) Kasich's claim of new job creation for Ohio isn't quite what he says it is.

6) Ohio's Heroin problems have exploded under the Kasich administration.  In towns like Marion, Mansfield, Canton, Steubenville and Portsmouth, local governments cannot keep up with the issues of crime, decline in property values and medical costs absorbed by local medical facilities.

And this should especially be of great concern - Kasich's connections to the Koch Brothers.

When it comes to being the Koch Brother's midwest Meat Puppet, when Scott Walker was trounced in early debates, the Koch's anointed Kasich as their point person.

So we appoint John Kasich as Ass Clown of the Day for 2/15/2016.
