I'm so tired of these clowns.

[sfy]

I was saying to my husband during the last Republican debate how interesting it is to me that so many of the candidates seem to be socially awkward. These guys (and only the guys, because whatever I think of Fiorina, she is polished) are killing the stereotype of the smooth-talking, charismatic politician. I'm not sure what it is, I guess it goes hand in hand with the disdain for the professional politician. Whatever it is, it's not good.

Ladies Man John Kasich Asks Woman If She's Ever Been on a Diet

Losing presidential candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich is an asshole, and he’s worked tirelessly to build that reputation from the ground up.

At a town hall in Dubuque, Iowa on Tuesday, Kasich took a question from a woman in the relatively small audience (only 50 people) about government corruption.

In an MSNBC clip, Kasich is seen talking about his experience balancing a budget which seems to be the only thing we ever see him talking about. But then, he pauses to make sure his talk is resonating with the question-asker.

“Have you ever been on a diet?” he asks.

“Many times,” she responds.

“Okay, you’re the perfect example,” he laughs. “You set a goal and you reach it and what happens? How about a little spumoni? How about a trip over to Mario’s? You ever go to Mario’s? We were there last night. How about a little spumoni? How about a piece of garlic bread? What happens is the discipline—”

Oh my god. We understand how budgeting works.

This is not the first time Kasich has demonstrated his offensive impulse to talk to women like they are children he totally gets. One month ago, he appeared at a town hall at the University of Richmond during which he told one female student he didn’t have any Taylor Swift tickets, and another that she looked like she got invited to all the parties.

Kasich is currently polling at 2 percent in Iowa.

Oh, so THAT's how budgeting works!

Thanks for mansplaining it to my ladybrain!

You know what, God fucking bless her for not answering with a "have I ever...? What the...? Fuck you."

See, I kind of wish she had done just that.

[leeba25]

Right? Like with the Taylor Swift tickets comment he made, I'd have just been dumbfounded out of any common decency.

Even my DH agrees this is mansplaining.

[BlondeSpiders]

Oh man, I could kill for some spumoni right about now. Good spumoni, not that shit they give you at Ye Olde Factory of Pasketti.

Good to see he isn't a total lost cause, lol.

Not was. IS. This asshole IS my governor!

He was talking to a LADY.  How else are we supposed to understand the hard maths questions unless you explain it in terms that our inferior ladybrains can understand?  We understand food.  We understand diets.  

[tres3]

This is the same man who thinks teachers (primarily women) have luxurious teacher lounges where they get their nails done and organize unions....

[mrsukyankee]

I would have loved to answer that one after he tried mansplaining - "Actually sir, I include all of those 'treats' within my diet so I don't feel a need to 'cheat'. The discipline comes from actually doing a diet that fits and will work for life. I think I might understand setting a budget and dieting better than you, asshole."

[laurack]

I still don't understand! I wish he'd followed up with more explanations perhaps with cleaning and cooking related examples to really drive the point home. I mean if you have three aprons and two homemade pot pies cooling on the stove and you just ran out of pine-scented floor cleaner, how many eggs does it take to make a good breakfast casserole? budgeting and just math in general can be hard.

[jeaniebueller]

Guys, Kasich has two daughters and they just love shopping! Just like any other girls would!

Over a two-second stab at his plate of fish: “We love New York. I take my twin daughters here once a year. They go to Bloomingdale’s, all over, see shows and get an Italian dinner at Angelo’s on Mulberry Street.”

The first line nearly did me in.

The last line was the nail in the coffin.

[jillboston]

So he thought he'd explain fiscal budgeting to a woman via dieting. Makes sense. Kasich is the 1950's Dad in the race.

[simpsongal]

He needed an analogy b/c normal people (esp women) don't have or understand budgets.
