John Kasich has a simple message for Republicans who are struggling with how to respond to the 2005 tape that leaked last week of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump boasting about using his celebrity status to grope women.
"Lead by example," he told Business Insider in a Thursday interview.
The Ohio governor and onetime 2016 presidential hopeful, who was the last Trump challenger to drop out of the GOP primary, released an extended response to the tape over the weekend. In that response, he said the tape was not "surprising to me or many others."
"Many people were angry and questioned why I would not endorse Donald Trump or attend the Republican convention," he said. "I've long had concerns with Donald Trump that go beyond his temperament."
He mentioned that the two had "substantive" policy differences on trade, Russia, and the budget, adding that Trump had not changed his "disqualifying" policy stances.
"I've also encouraged him to change his behavior for the better and offer a positive, inclusive vision for our country, but he has not," he said. "It's clear that he hasn't changed and has no interest in doing so. As a result, Donald Trump is a man I cannot and should not support."
Many Republicans had quickly condemned the leaked tape, in which Trump said he could "grab" women "by the p---y" because "when you're a star they let you do it.

People who-even if born within the US-do not believe in the US but in globalism are not/no longer citizens, even if they have a passport.
I remember many allegations during the primaries that Kasick sexually abused his male interns. He is far from pure.
Who's he? You're not talking about that has-been, washed up , crooked hack, that can't eat without wearing half his lunch are you?
[I’ve also encouraged him to change his behavior for the better and offer a positive, inclusive vision for our country, but he has not,” he said.]
Hey John, your corporatist ass is showing.
Trump has brought more people to the GOP than any candidate in recent memory.
Kasich is a moron.
F U John.
What hasn’t changed from before? Certainly Trump cannot go back in time and change what he did in 2005. Do ANY of the allegations pertain to current behavior? O.K., come do. That he says things in an “undiplomatic way.” For example, insisting that he did not get anybody’s son shot in Iraq, so why are grieving (?) parents blaming him. And, insisting he did not treat Miss Universe 1995 in a demeaning way (which anybody can see in the Youtube videos). How exactly are you supposed to respond to such attacks any way? Oh, and how about Michelle Obama can attack you, but you can’t attack her. And, you’re stalking Hillary Clinton but not getting off the stage, but simply standing near your chair. Not being a polished politician who says things in a politically-correct way is NOT grounds for disavowal.
What a nerd, this guy is clueless. How did our country come to have leaders of such low caliber?
Since you chose to turn your back on the party nominee, and refused to attend the Republican Convention, you have nothing of value anyone wants to hear...so STFU Kasich!!!
Like he matters!
“Exactly which years that you “CLAIM” the Budget was balanced and had a Surplus, did the NATIONAL DEBT GO DOWN???”
I’ve contended for decades that surplus would have never been EXCEPT for 3 Gs..
Grove,Greenspan and Gates .....Take them out of the picture and it would have been a “dis Ass Tur”
Kasich is just happy it ain’t the rich vein of oppo research in his closet the Rats are parading. Like Rush says, it doesn’t matter who the nominee was, the same things the Rats are doing right now would still be done. The names might be different but that is all.
I have never heard a straight male of breeding age, not say stuff on certain occasions that wouldn’t be condemned by the sob sisters who are making an issue of this non-issue.
Kasich made a world-class arse of hisself
for months
and now he’s still shooting off his silly mouth?
It surely is time for Ohioans to find a more intelligent governor that won’t embarrass the Buckeye State every time he speaks
Amen.
Yeb! would be getting absolutely destroyed by now.
3 words..
Who is Kasich?
Did he break 2% during his impressive run for President?
That ####sucker ####.
I always knew he was a piece of ####.
I’d like to ####ing lead by example by...well, not appropriate here.
By “inclusive” I assume he means illegals and radical Muslims. Is Trump leaving out any non-terrorist legal resident of the US in his plans to make America great again?
I have three words for when you know a lot about your best friend’s violent sexual proclivities, his problem with an intern in love with him, and his chick turns up dead. It’s really good advice and it’s not to drop out and run home to Ohio and get married and have twins and huddle under the Bible. Ready, John? Here they come: Tell. the. cops.
