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."

Just, dang. They tell us that Kasich voters would rather switch to Trump than Cruz, but with Kasich saying crap like this and if they agree with it, I cannot fathom how or why anybody who thinks like Kasich would go to Trump.

It takes campaigning for president to see one’s glaring faults. Shut up, Juan, and go back to the Buckeye.

Kasich has said that he would give amnesty in his first 100 days, so I agree, what does a Kasich voter have in common with a Trump voter? Hopefully the answer to that question is they both do not want Hillary.

“Scaring them to the point that they are afraid that their families are going to be torn apart and disrupted?
Would that be anything like SCARING the American TAXPAYERS to death with COMPLETE FINANCIAL COLLAPSE for not BAILING OUT YOU AND YOUR CORRUPT FRIENDS on WALL Street aftr committing MASSIVE FRAUD??

The word “hispanic” is pretty much a BS word in the first place.
I lived in California for 17 years in the 1970’s, 1980’s, and a few years in the early 1990’s. and not once did I ever hear someone from Mexico refer to themselves as “hispanic.”
They always called themselves “Mexican.”

That’s right. A person from Mexico is a Mexican. Not all Hispanics in the United states are from Mexico, they have been Americans for generations, and no one is threatening to tear their families apart, to use Kasich’s words. So he is actually being racist.
To: TTFlyer
Kasich. It’s about laws. When one nation doesn’t respect the laws of another its ok to have a border.
