Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who has been a vocal critic of President Donald Trump, announced Tuesday he's joining one of the president's favorite targets in the news media: CNN. "Excited to share that I'll be joining @CNN as a regular contributor starting today!" Kasich tweeted. Axios first reported the hire. His first appearance will be on "Cuomo Prime Time" at 9 p.m. on Tuesday. Kasich ran for the Republican nomination in 2016 and is weighing a presidential run against Trump in 2020. Trump in the past has said he hopes that Kasich and other top Republican critics run against him. This is not Kasich's first go-round with a cable network. From 2001 to 2007, he hosted "Heartland with John Kasich" on Fox News and was at times a fill-in host for "The O'Reilly Factor." CNBC on Monday reported that Kasich "ruled out joining Fox News Channel" this time around. The network's opinion programming has been seen as heavily pro-Trump. United Talent Agency on Monday announced it was representing Kasich. The announcement comes a little more than a week after CNN also signed Republican Mia Love and Democrat Luis Gutierrez, both former lawmakers, as commentators. Poster Comment: Kasich/Cuomo 2020?

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
Know this he will suck ass as a commentator just like he sucked ass here in Ohio as Governor. Kasich is well known to be light in his loafers so he should fit right in at CNN
