He seems like a decent guy, but we don’t need decent this time around. We need a take no prisoner fighter. Trump is the only one that can fix the United States. Cruz, Bush, Rubio, Kasich and Carson are all weak and the Congress would walk all over them.

He could make a good vice president. Especially if he can carry Ohio and help in a couple other purple states.

I would imagine that Kasich or Rubio will be VP.

I was thinking along that line. Plus he has goodwill in the Congress from his days as a congressman.

OK, so they are, and is it your job as President to solve this problem?

Not the first time I’ve seen that suggestion. It does have possibilities.

John Kasich on campaign trail emotion: 'People are lonely'

The Dems will now propose a $14 Trillion dollar program to remedy this pressing national problem.

And of course Kasich and the GOPe will respond with a $13.9 Trillion dollar plan, implemented in three sensible stages.
