Kasich said he will call out his Republican colleagues at Wednesday's debate.

Before flying to Colorado for the third Republican presidential debate, John Kasich expressed frustration at the statements and positions of his Republican opponents during a rally in Columbus Tuesday, citing Trump's plan to gather up 11 million illegal immigrants and dumping them at the border; Carson's plan to eliminate Medicare and Medicaid, and Bush being Bush as examples.

This sounds kind of intriguing. I'd like to see Kasich do what he said he will do and see what it does to his polling numbers and the response he gets from Trump, Carson, Bush and the rest.

No--calling out your colleagues and bashing the party rarely results in a nomination. TwilightGardener Oct 2015 #7

Kasich was hated in Ohio and was sure to lose after the right to work bullshit but he won by a huge landslide. I know 3 democrats personally who voted for him because he expanded medicaid, I was so pissed at them but they did it anyway. He scares me because he talks a good talk and sounds reasonable. He isn't reasonable he is as Conservative as they come. He will further destroy the Country.

I don't think Kasich can go the distance. But I could be wrong--and it certainly wouldn't be the first time, lol.

Rubio will be a lot easier to beat after whining about the Senate.

In 2000, i thought there was no way that idiot fratboy Silverspoon could beat Gore. How'd that work out for me?

He's got no charisma and says nothing to get the attention of the loonies who are slobbering all over Trump and Carson. It's less than a hundred days before the primary voting begins and I can't see how any of the semi-sane overtake the true crazies.

He is the final boot to the head for Ohioans. If he were to become President he would ruthlessly denude this country of anything of value.
