Not sure if you all saw the Kasich campaign event where the kid from Georgia told of the tragedy he'd face recently and how Kasich had given him hope. Kasich put down the mic, hugged the guy and said some private things to him.

Of note, he didn't make his comments public or use the occurrence in the rest of the campaign event.

It was a poignant moment and a real moment.

A super pac is using the video of that in an ad supporting Kasich and when he was asked what he thought about the ad he said he didn't like it and was uncomfortable about it.

I believe he was sincere.

He may not match you on policy but he certainly seems to be in it for the right reasons and fits the "public servant" role better than any other contender IMHO.

I think there's very little doubt that Kasich is the most genuine and sincere of all the candidates. I agree with enough of his positions that I could support him, but my biggest concern about him is that he doesn't typically express himself well,...and as such I'm not sure he could fight the Hillary machine assuming she's the Dem candidate.

Agree. Kasich certainly the most genuine of the lot. Unfortunately, not the most charismatic

I think he'd destroy Hillary - the vast majority of Independents would go for him and probably some Dems.

Something I'll disagree with, but would remain open minded to. His spat with Bush showed he had some claws, so I could see it.

Do you think at some point that someone in the GOP tries to persuade Rubio or Cruz to drop out so they don't keep taking votes away from each other and therefore helping Trump win? Because, from the looks of it, neither of them will be backing out on their own any time soon....??

The problems with this?

Cruz voters and supporters could very well transfer to Trump instead of Rubio. You end up with a double edged sword by getting Cruz to drop that could backfire in a significant way. Only a resounding endorsement from Cruz to Rubio would help in that matter.

Rubio on the other hand has the momentum and the backing of some serious players in the GOP. He's already got a nice list of endorsements as well as money flowing in that would be hard to replicate with Cruz. Kasich is a possibility, but changing horses on the endorsements won't be easy.

Every poll I've saw has Kasich beating Hillary by a pretty large margin. I'm Democrat and I'd vote for him over Hillary for sure. I like Kasich a lot.

Not a dem but I like Kasich more than anyone. Sadly the media hype machine is not with him.

I voted for Kasich yesterday, but there is a lingering doubt in my mind that his presence only helps Trump.

Rubio is obviously who the GOP wants as the new face of the party. Kasich is a panic switch if something bad happens. Honestly, Kasich is only down by 5 in Ohio and looks competitive in the other Midwestern states. As it stands now he may have a better chance at winning a state outright than Rubio.

Both of them have higher than 50% chance to beat HRC in my opinion.
