Kasich: ‘I've Had It’ With Trump, Carson

Kasich: ‘I've Had It’ With Trump, Carson

John Kasich is fed up with his competitors in the Republican primary.
"Do you know how crazy this election is?" he shouted during a pre-debate rally in Ohio on Tuesday. "Let me tell you something. I've about had it with these people. Let me tell you why. We got one candidate that says we ought to abolish Medicaid and Medicare. You ever heard anything so crazy as that, telling our people in this country who are seniors or about to be seniors that we're going to abolish Medicaid or Medicare," Kasich continued, seemingly referencing Ben Carson who has changed his opinion on the matter seemingly overnight. 
"We got one guy that says we ought to take 10 or 11 million people and pick them up, where the_, we're going to go in their homes, their apartments. We're going to pick them up and we're going to take them to the border and scream at them to get out of our country," Kasich said in an obvious dig at frontrunner Donald Trump. "Well that's just crazy. That is just crazy."
"We got one candidate that claimed, one candidate that actually said that the reason why we signed an agreement with Ford to bring jobs back from Mexico is because he's been yelling for the last week ok," Kasich said again referencing Trump to uproarious laughter. "That was like something out of a Back to the Future movie." 
Kasich's communications director Chris Schrimpf told The Daily Beast "Part of being President is speaking the truth to the American people. That's what Governor Kasich did today."
He did not respond to a question about whether Kasich plans to attack like this in the CNBC debate Wednesday evening.

Kasich and Hillary are probably the only two who can govern. I like Kasich because he cut the defense budget once, he will do it again.....he knows how to govern.

As you know,  you and I both have been for him from the beginning.

I was a news junkie back when he was in Congress and at that time he was often a guest on tv news programs.  I got very familiar with him then and always like him and his ideas.

But today he just no longer has name recognition outside of Ohio and the surrounding states.
Unless he can take something like this and parlay it into an attention-getting device (like Trump is good at),  he just won't get the traction he needs.

He's an establishment candidate that is a faux GOPer no different than the Democrat in office now. How is voting for him any different than voting for Obama or even Hillary?

Answer that for him,  seaoat.  lol

In any case,  what with this,  Carson going ahead of Trump in Iowa,  the war between Trump and Bush (and now Carson),  and the weird positions Carson has taken since the last debate;  tomorrow night's debate should be a humdinger as my old grandaddy used to say.  lol
My girlfriend and me have made these debates be a good source of a night's entertainment.  We're already planning to get Chinese takeout for tomorrow's latest installment.   We like Yums chinese on Airport Blvd.  lol

Speaking of the debate,  I watched one pundit earlier bring up something I hadn't thought about.
Bush is now so low in the polls,  that he probably deserves to be in the "kids's table" debate instead of in the big event.  lol

If the vote was tomorrow,  which of the republican candidates would you vote for?

I proclaimed my belief that Kasich was the pick of the litter months ago but, that said, I previously proclaimed Jon Hunstman as the GOP's pick of the litter so at least I am consistent. Somehow rational pragmatic people would have some appeal within the GOP rank and file but obviously I am wrong again . . . . oh well.

I am not sure. Probably Ben Carson. He is the lesser of the evils.
