Republican presidential hopeful John Kasich said Friday evening that some of his fellow party members are alienating Hispanic voters with scare tactics that could hurt the GOP in November's general election.
"Do the Republicans actually think that they can win an election by scaring every Hispanic in this country to death?" Kasich told reporters at the California GOP convention in San Francisco, being held ahead of the state's June 7 primary. "Scaring them to the point that they are afraid that their families are going to be torn apart and disrupted? Do you have any idea what those folks are going to do in a general election?"
Kasich touted his endorsement on Thursday by the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
Donald Trump protesters, who congregated outside the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport hotel, marred the convention before Kasich arrived Friday night. "When you live on the negative side, when you feed people’s anger -- you see what happened here today? I heard about it," Kasich said before addressing attendees. "People chaining themselves to a fence trying to prevent somebody from coming -- I mean, you see what’s happening? Okay? Well, I may not be winning those votes right now, but over time I believe the people will like to live where they can be hopeful."

I have three words for you John Kasich...no not those words...these: “Remember the Alamo”
This is not Aztlan or Azteca...this is America and we won the land by treaty...if they don’t like it I sure as hell ain’t moving and the same can be said of the other immigrants the damn boat goes back the other way...and it that is not satisfactory then the statement of an early patriot...”Sometimes the tree of freedom needs to be watered with the blood of patriots’ comes into view for me...how bout you?

I used to have respect for this clown at one point in time, but that was because of his fiscal conservatism. I wasn’t aware that his conservatism did not extend beyond that one issue. Now I wouldn’t even invite him out to eat.
The idiots don’t understand that we became a great country because of our laws and culture, not because of what piece of land we were on.
HA!
MAGA VS MAMA!
Maybe Hispanics who waive the Mexican flag and attack police are scaring me.
Supposedly they can’t vote. Does he know something we don’t know?
Kasich is an ifiot, a lying, Democrat clone idiot. A pandering lying Democrat clone idiot.
Why "every"? Why should someone born here or here legally be scared?
We want illegal parents to take their children with them and LEAVE as a group. GO HOME to MEXICO as a family.
As far as votes are concerned let's OFFER 40 million people from Eastern Europe the right to come here ON OUR DIME - IF they're willing to vote Republican. Then we can tell the democrats to 'court' the evangelicals if they want a chance at winning.
How stupid do you think we are Kasich?
Would the New York Times, LA Times, and ABC News be 'open minded' if we were bringing in 40 million Eastern Europeans illegally to vote Republican? I suspect the corrupt MSM would WAKE UP and START SCREAMING about the sanctity of the legal immigration system and the need for borders. With liberals it's only who's ox is being gored.
Get over it Kashich - we're not haters - but unlike YOU we're also NOT gullible fools.
Ben Gittleson - did you know George Stephanopoulos ran the Clinton War Room? And that part of that job was trashing and controlling women who had been abused by Clinton? Get on your damn high horse about that...
So...Kasich thinks all Hispanics are illegal immigrants?
What does Cruz think of this? Didn’t he team up with Kasich?
Why would legal Hispanics fear the rule of law? It is illegal Hispanics that want the rule by fiat quid-pro-quo.
FUJK.
Republicans—like Kasich—COWERING IN FEAR—have hurt the United States almost beyond repair. That’s why the American people are solidly behind a COURAGEOUS HERO LIKE DONALD TRUMP and have only contempt for cowardly sell-outs ready to surrender America to a bunch of thugs.
I will repeat my earlier comments:
EVERY SINGLE candidate for President should be mandated to spend a week on night ride-alongs with the following: A WEEK EACH!!
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s department, working in South Central Los Angeles.
The Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona (Joe Arpaio) & his deputies.
The Border Patrol.
Then & ONLY THEN will these fools wake up.
I lived in So Calif from 1964 to 1993. I watched a beautiful area turn to crap with no help from the politicians to turn the tide. I will never move back, and I left California for good in Dec 2004.
