This is a great speech. He talks about his Christian values, having empathy, compassion, reaching into our hearts and lifting folks up, restoring the budget..... He should be the Republican front-runner.



RAW: Full speech by Gov. John Kasich - Toledo News Now, News, Weather, Sports, Toledo, OH

I like when he says "for me, I'm just a flawed man trying to honor God's blessings in my life, and I want you to know that I will do my best to serve you"

How is he not the one leading?

He talks ( but it's mostly BS )
I'm just a flawed man ( he gets that part right , but forget the rest )

How is he not the one leading?

The biggest reason why he isn't leading is that he couldn't find anyone to fund him. He couldn't raise much money. The reason no one would fund him is because anyone who got to know him didn't like him. He would be out of the race now but he finally got lucky and found a donor. He has a temper and has been known to threaten people. If ask a question he doesn't like he can get nasty and has snapped at his donors.
He is the typical example of the old school politician with all the flowery speech to make you like him, but you can never like him as much as he likes himself.

His position on immigration hurts him badly.

When Chris Christie dropped out he picked up his donor.

Yes, his position on illegals is enough to make me never vote for him.

Because he voted for NAFTA, wants to give illegal aliens amnesty in his first 100 days as President and doesn't believe in enforcing immigration laws.

John Kasich Goes All In For Amnesty: Illegals

Although he may win his own, he hasn't won a single other state and has less delegates than everyone else. He came in third in Michigan, a state he was supposed to win.

He's letting Romney use him.

Because not only does he say nothing about territorial integrity and legality, what he does say is absolutely appalling.


Quite frankly I'd rather have Hillary than some RINO: if we are going to have the status quo, at least someone who essentially campaigns on "I am the status quo" with no qualms.

Not that I would vote for her either, but I would leave the presidency blank, vote third party, or write something in, then hope she wins with less than 50% of the popular vote and a republican majority in at least one chamber of Congress, better if both, but if just one, preferably the House: a few Senators are more easily corrupted, while the House is usually stocked with plenty of ideological useful idiots.

I would be okay with that, suboptimal but okay, for the next 4-8 years, just like I've been okay with that, suboptimal but okay, since 2011.

Good Luck!

As someone who suffers from his so called "leadership" in Ohio, plainly put - he sucks!

To those in other states, don't make the mistake of voting for Kasich, he is Ohio's Paul LePage!

If the tally holds, he'll have won by 6 points--pretty close to poll results.

Yeah, okay...he's sounding like he just won the governorship. If he thinks this win will translate to a presidential nomination, he's dreaming--especially if he thinks he's going to bully Trump and Cruz out of the race.

Same here. So now, the only two candidates for American citizens left in the entire race, both Dems and Repubs, is Trump and Cruz. And Cruz is attached to the pastor that believes all gays should be murdered. You can't make this stuff up.

Kasich has a partisan history as bad as they come. He voted four times to impeach Clinton. Now he is all about embracing everyone. I'm not buying it.

Ohio did, but I'm with you. I can't buy his BS and that is what it is.
