I’m an Ohioan, and have followed Kasich. He’s a true conservative- not a RINO at all.
He has class and behaves like a gentleman, but I would not characterize him as soft at all.
He's been soft on the Second Amendment in the past.
I quess I'm looking for too much...like an articulate street fighter to verbally lambast the 'rats. I have seen John get worked up on occasion on FOX, but maybe it's the overall demeanor or the haircut...I don't know...just speculating. I would welcome John Kasich any day over our Michigan governor, Jenny Grantheft. Thanks for your closer-to-the-politician observation.
I wish that were true, but sadly it isn't. John Kasich is a traitor to our Second Amendment freedoms. He was almost single handedly responsible for the assault weapons ban because of his behind-the-scenes betrayal of his Republican colleges. He also voted for the Brady law.
The article below explains how the Republicans had successfully blocked the Assault Weapons Ban until Kasich negotiated a sellout with Leon Panetta. I once thought Kasich had presidential potential, but now I know that traitor is nothing but a pathetic fraud.
