Kasich says he believes in traditional marriage, but would love his kids

The fact that the debate was being held on the anniversary of the Voting Right Act posed some irony, they noted, since Republicans have been zealous in attempts to restrict access to the ballot box over the last five years.

“Tomorrow night’s debate is our first time to see this vast array of candidates and the depth of our field is so exciting”.

Kasich made a brief run for the 2000 presidential nomination.

According to Ballotpedia, Kasich raised a total of $39,737,184 from 2010 to 2014 for his Governor campaigning.

Ten other Republican debates are scheduled through March 10.

Several pundits and national media outlets praised the governor’s efforts on his home-state stage. “I balanced the (federal) budget”.

Kasich touted his budget-balancing credentials when he got his first chance to speak at Thursday night’s debate, boasting that he moved the state from an $8 billion debt to a $2 billion surplus.

Kasich was asked how he would respond if one of his daughters was gay. “What we’re doing is playing social experimentation with our military right now, and that’s tragic”, he said, prompting cheers from the crowd.

The Republican presidential primary debate was clearly the Donald Trump show from the very beginning. But I’ve also said the court has ruled. Governor Kasich was asked about Donald Trump’s statements about illegal immigration and building a border fence. But the point is we all have solutions. “There’s going to be so many people there with limited time”. The names were announced early Tuesday evening by Fox News, which is sponsoring the event. Rick Santorum, physician Ben Carson and businesswoman Carly Fiorina. That could be why some of the candidates hinted they’d be playing it safe in the debate. His most pressing question, though, is why Gov. Kasich wouldn’t want to know more about grade fixing in for-profit Ohio schools? “I think the next president ought to invoke the 5th n 14th Amendments to the Constitution”. I want programs block granted to the states. Marco Rubioand New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie came off well.

But not all states implemented the reforms.

David Cohen, a Fellow at the Bliss Institute of Applied Politics, said it was a good night for Kasich, who Cohen said positioned himself as someone who could appeal to a wide-range of voters. “Because somebody doesn’t think the way I do, doesn’t mean that I can’t care about them or can’t love them”, Kasich said, to much applause, during the debate. “I’d rather get them the medications they need so they can lead a decent life”. “He’s already hedging his bet on Clinton…”

“She represents the third failed term of the Obama presidency”, he said.

Democratic Congressman Tim Ryan said the event will spotlight what he called a “hostile takeover” of the Republican Party by Trump, who now sits atop polls among GOP candidates. He said Democrats are just as interested in hearing from the Republican candidates.

“So Governor Kasich was wrong, just to be clear”, Hemmer said, pressing the issue.

Schramm also thought Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker performed well.

Earlier this week, wealthy conservative donors gathered to pledge funds to groups founded by billionaires Charles and David Koch, the Associated Press reported. In 1982 at age 30, he won a seat in the US House of Representatives, becoming the only Republican that year to defeat an incumbent Democrat.

“There’s kind of an offhand manner to him that I think a lot of voters really like”.
