I cannot figure out how these type of people could support him. I believe the only reason he expanded Medicaid under the ACA is because he is up for re-election as Governor, and wants the state of Ohio behind him in the 2016 primaries and general election so he thought expanding Medicaid would suddenly win him the support of those living in poverty here in Ohio.

Unfortunately Kasich as a presidential candidate, ecspecially as the Republican nominee scares the hell out of me at this point...
