Punchable Face Award" 3 years in a row

An adviser to Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) cautioned President Trump Thursday after he said that he'd be happy to run against Kasich, one of the most annoying persons in politics, in the 2020 presidential election.

"Be careful what you wish for," John Weaver a chief political strategist told CNBC after Trump said he’d welcome a run by either Kasich or outgoing GOP Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, who isn't really a Republican.

Trump's comments came Thursday during an interview with Fox News’ Harris Faulkner.

“So you mentioned Ohio, so I'm going to bring up John Kasich and I'm going to bring up Arizona Senator Jeff Flake. Because they say they may run against you in 2020,” Faulkner said.

Kasich is “open-minded” about potentially campaigning as an Independent versus within the GOP, Weaver also told CNBC, before noting that Kasich, the most annoying pontificator in politics “is a Republican” yet he is willing to screw up the GOP's chances of winning because he will only take away Republican votes and has a snowball's chance in hell of winning the election.

Flake is cut of the same used handkerchief cloth.

Representatives for Kasich did not immediately return Fox News’ request for comment.

Kasich, annoyingly discussed a possible White House run, telling ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos" earlier this month that “we’re seriously thinking about it.”

“We're seriously talking about it with family and friends and political allies who have come to me about this,” Kasich said annoyingly.
