Bravo to Kasich for how he has conducted himself throughout this process. He did his absolute best tonight and in my opinion is the last of the civil politicians America will see for a long time.
I also think Trump did well in tonight's debate. He finally mentioned heroin as part of the reason to build his acclaimed wall. I've been waiting for him to get into weeds such as these for a while now. When he mentioned the insidious drug the room fell silent. Why? Because the country has caught on to the fact that heroin is devastating our nation's families.
Back to Kasich..I think he is probably the best candidate the Republicans can offer the country and I say this because first and foremost he is a gentleman. However, America is the mob and I've discussed it before ad nauseum, America, in particular the swing voter, wants the big show. We want to be entertained in the end and Trump offers free entertainment. He fell back on his best card tonight a few times, namely, that he is not a politician. That's where his energy lies. That's why he is going to win the nomination and the election. The American swing voter would rather throw the dice on an experiment like Trump than see another "professional" bought and sold politician surface and do nothing. Let's at least throw the dice for 4 years.
But God bless John Kasich for being true to his values. God bless him for rising above these jackals and remaining true to himself. He should get the nomination but of course he will not. And as much of a loss it may turn out to be for the country, Kasich will keep his soul in tact. I'm not sure the same can be said of the 3 stooges.
I hope Trump involves him somehow after this madness is over.
