I just don't think Trump and Cruz are electable in a general...but Kasich can play to the middle...and he's a nasty son of a bitch...

15 years ago he was 90% on the right-wing scale. The GOP has moved so far right so quickly that he now looks like a reasonable moderate for their party. He's not moderate by national standards.

which hides his right wing politics. He is the kind of guy you want for a neighbor. But, he is a dangerous politician.

Looks harmless until elected then poof, think Bush jr.

I think they will prop him up at a contested convention.

The path to the White House always goes through Ohio.

Forget all the electability polls... he is the biggest threat to our nominee.

Now he is oh so compassionate and seemingly sane. (sarcasm)

I'm sure some of his old clips will come out now that he has the national spotlight.

I still give him kudos for trouncing trump though.

On edit: I found an interesting article about his association with Fox and Murdoch, who is a major contributor: http://mediamatters.org/blog/2015/07/21/john-kasich-another-fox-news-employee-turned-ca/204507

Kasich's positions of Planned Parenthood, union rights and voting rights are horrible. He is just as nasty as Trump and Carnival Cruz
