I’m NOT for Kasich but I do believe in this exchange he had his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

I'm not so sure. No serious conservative candidate would joke about something like that. That's like pulling a "your mother died" phone joke.

“I’m not so sure. No serious conservative candidate would joke about something like that. That’s like pulling a “your mother died” phone joke.”

You could be right he certainly fits in with the group that uses the term “conservative” as an obligatory campaign slogan. On the other hand his humor does seem to be a bit warped. I’m not sure anyone including John knows where he stands.
