Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich was supposed to be a big “get” for the Democratic National Convention — he’s a Republican, after all. That fact that he’d passed pro-life legislation and was getting way more speaking time than a Democrat like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ticked off a lot of Democrats, but apparently he had something important to say.
In case no one got his point that America is at a crossroads, Kasich filmed his bit at a literal crossroads. Get it?

Kasich doing his bit standing at a literal crossroads is so John Kasich.

Whoever decided to put John Kasich in the middle of a literal crossroads, I thank you for the quality entertainment and much needed laugh. #DNC2020

Mark my words… John Kasich’s “America is literally at a crossroads right now” segment is going to become a meme by tomorrow. I can feel it ? #DemocraticConvention

John Kasich was afraid that the "crossroads" metaphor would be too subtle without a visual #DNC pic.twitter.com/MGvLzvQbsD

I like that the @DNC is symbolizing their deal with @JohnKasich with him standing at a crossroad. Making deals with old white dudes at crossroads always goes well.

John Kasich standing at a crossroads really ups the PBS pledge drive vibes

I'm glad John Kasich was actually, physically standing at a crossroads just in case we didn't get the metaphor.

Wow, John Kasich standing at a literal "crossroads" in a field somewhere in Ohio. Stunning and historic

Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich standing at the crossroads was a missed opportunity.
He could have had appeared with Bone Thugs N Harmony and have them perform “Tha Crossroads.”
They’re from #Cleveland after all. #DemocraticNationalConvention

John Kasich is so popular already, I can only imagine what the crossroads video will do to convince voters who can't pay rent next month. https://t.co/6apdVuFQBF

I legitimately did a spit take to see John Kasich at a literal crossroads.

John Kasich, standing at a literal crossroads, the least subtle man in America. #DemocraticConvention

Oh, no…John Kasich says America is at a crossroads…standing at a crossroad. If Robert Johnson passes by with a guitar, beware #DemConvention2020
