1. He blamed the Flint, Michigan water

crisis on the federal government.

Of course the interviewer went right along without correcting him.

Then he explained he wants the federal government to give money

to the states without interfering.

He is the governor of my state and I don't like him.

He is also a religious extremist.

3. Yes. Kasich is just as nasty as the rest nt

4. yipes--I was hoping he was the more "reasonable" one

I'm struggling in this group to imagine any that wouldn't cause daily nightmares if occupying the White House.

Rand Paul is probably the least insufferable. Christie probably has political beliefs that are more middle of the road and just plays to the right-wing, beyond being a petty bully. But I don't know that he'd be a bully on a pathological scale.

Actually, Pataki was the only one approximating Bob Dole/Jack Kemp-style governing (where your nightmares would be limited to one a week). Naturally, he's gone.

2. I hate to see Kasich rise. He reminds me of Snyder,

who fooled a lot of people into believing he was a "moderate" republican.

[LiberalElite]

5. Heh. What does "moderate" even mean anymore? nt

[Freddie]

6. He's not a "moderate", he just plays one on TV

Of all the repug candidates he scares me this most because people think the woman-hating troglodyte is a "reasonable moderate."

7. That's Snyder too. Kasich and Snyder are two

peas in a pod.And I agree,Kasich would be their most formidable candidate,at least in the Midwest states like ours.

8. Looks like he has the governor of Michigan's back. Spinning like a top!
