John Kasich levels a shotgun at Donald Trump...

[Agnosticsherbet]

31. Among the current crop of Republicans, he is least extreme. I did not say he was a paragon

of virtue.

I wouldn't vote form.
Would not want to see him as President.
And his poll numbers show little danger of that.

But I see the Republican field as a spectrum with some variation form Tumpolini through Kasich, not as a group of clones. In fact, Kasich, Rubio, and Bush are remarkably alike with only minor differences.

In my view, nothing is certain. Republicans could win the election, especially if Democrats do not show up and vote. (We are facing the third term curse.) I would rather see Kasich with the shot at the gold ring than Trump or Cruz, both of whom would be remarkably dangerous with that power.

A Republican in the Executive Branch is a nightmare scenario anyway I look at it. But some nightmares are on elmstreet and others just the type from which I wake up in a cold sweat, crying.
