He's pretty much a democrat-lite. That's why republicans don't like him. As far as the money (previous poster) to Kerry and Clinton, everyone knows he did that as a business man.
Kasich, look at his record, is as nasty, extremist wolf in moderate sheep's skin. They are all nasty, extremist, check-box assholes.

what does childish sniping, insulting, gotach-ing have to do with being President?
do you rightwingnut assholes really decide whom to vote for based on these silly, fights?
I have heard some debate attendees actually saying they will decide based on the debates. Best insulter? Best LIAR?
all the Repug Pres-wannabes support the same extremist policies.
Thanks, Repugs!
I agree. Was a bad look for the Republicans. And it exposes how divided this party really is which could present a huge problem in the general election. This party needs to figure out how to unite together or we're gonna see Bernie Sanders go balls deep on the campaign.
"how divided this party really is"
the Repugs are not divided on the issues, policies which are blindly ideological, inflexible, not compromisable, all of them deny the legitamacy of the Dems to hold office, govern.
The division is between the establishment Repugs vs the non-establishment Kruz/Carson/Trump, but they all support exactly the same issues, policies.
(Kruz is a fake anti-establishment, LIES that he's anti-establishment, and he is widely hated by establishment Repugs)
They are divided across the board. Not just establishment over fake anti-establishment, but over immigration where some support amnesty and some don't. Also over Iraq/Syria, tax plans, etc.
Also, the voters for each candidate despises other candidates and that's gonna take a toll in the general election. Democracts don't have any of these problems.
they are divided only in degree of policy extremeness, not actual policy
No way that simplistic way of dividing up certain issues remains after the general election gets underway.
The poll found that 42 percent of South Carolina Republicans said they were likely to vote for Trump, 20 percent for Cruz, and 15 percent for Florida Senator Marco Rubio.
Rubio is followed by John Kasich with 9 percent, and Jeb Bush and Ben Carson tie for fifth with 6 percent of voters’ support.

We'll see. This poll was before the debate. He really went ballistic during the debate on GWB - it might hurt him in S. C.
Pretty sad going ballistic on the worst president since maybe Harding would hurt one in the polls.
Yeah. Democrats can't seem to see beyond party lines.
What Finally Gets The GOP Offended By Trump
Donald Trump has finally crossed the lines of decency in Republican circles: By saying that George W. Bush was a failure on national security.
Indeed, this slaughtering of a sacred cow is so heinous that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a former bottom-tier candidate who supports Jeb Bush, even declared this morning that he might have to violate his own pledge to support the eventual Republican nominee, should it be The Donald.
“I’ve gotta really re-evaluate that after what he said about President George W. Bush,” he said. “There’s just the kooky people in the world. The mainstream Democratic party opposition to Bush did not go where Donald Trump went. So I’ll have to sit down and think about what it means to have somebody running as the nominee of the Republican Party that accused the past president of willfully lying about the facts and cir stances of Iraq, and being responsible for 9/11.”
To be exact, Trump has not said that the Bush administration was “responsible” for 9/11 — that is, the “9/11 Truther” accusation that it was an inside job by the government. Instead, Trump simply said at the debate that George W. Bush failed to “keep us safe,” as Jeb Bush insisted he did.
Just think:
After years of Trump spreading lies and innuendo about President Obama’s birthplace, Republicans are now outraged at Trump for the one conspiracy theory he hasn’tactually been pushing. And that’s without even taking into consideration everything that Trump has already said during this election about Mexicans, women, and Muslims.
But at the same time, Graham did have a point here, when he said: “The mainstream Democratic party opposition to Bush did not go where Donald Trump went.” Um, no, they didn’t!
The question is: Why did it take almost 15 years, and a candidacy by Donald Trump, to get a presidential campaign that openly slammed George W. Bush for his handling of 9/11?

Trump talks about bleeding vaginas, exaggerations, lies, slanders, insults, repeat, repeat, repeat, and Repugs are silent
Trump FINALLY tells one truth about dubya/ head/Repugs not stopping 9/11, Repugs' heads explode.
Former White House staffer Andy Card: Sept. 11th ‘was a spectacular day’ for George W. Bush
it is true that during the previous administrations to George w. Bush, the government put barriers between the FBI and the CIA, and some other intelligence agencies,” Card insisted. “So, it was very difficult to be able to find the dots, never mind connect them.”
“And this is about picking a president right now, And I want to have a president that will have the courage to protect us, to make the tough decisions that must be made and I’m convinced Jeb Bush is the right person to do that.”

Clinton barriers? what Clinton barriers? anybody?
Biggest barrier was each agency defending its turf and hiding information ("is power") from others.
I'll tell you why... because the other republican candidates are owned by the establishment.
And your stupid special fonts.
Donald Trump Threatens Independent Run ... Again
The GOP front-runner called out the Republican Party for what he complains has been unfair treatment.
“I signed a pledge but it’s a double-edge pledge, and as far as I’m concerned they’re in default," Trump said of the Republican National Committee. "That means the other side can do what they have to do."

I hope if he does that he pulls enough Dems to offset the republicans that vote for him.
Trump is going to get the GOP nomination. But if he didn't you can absolutely count on him running as an independent. He's already sunk his own money into this campaign. He's not walking away empty handed and feeling disrespected by the GOP -- that, I can tell you.
Bigots And Racists Are Fueling Donald Trump’s Lead In South Carolina
If you’re a South Carolina racist or believe in a form of ethnic cleansing by internment camp or want to ban gay people from the country, odds are good that you are supporting Donald Trump. That is to say, Trump’s support in South Carolina is comprised of a “base of voters among whom religious and racial intolerance pervades.”

lol journalism
I can believe that.
But he's done too much damage to win. He may want to take the GOP down with him and handing a no contest to the Democrats.
Open primary...might help him. Risky but ballsy move tbh.
Amazing that almost everything he's done (except skipping the debate), no matter how outrageous, has helped him in the polls. He keeps pushing the envelope, and it works. Can't believe he said that about GWB in S.C. and it not hurt him - still double everyone.
