John Kasich

You should take the high roads to the highest office in the land, not the low road.

Oh yeah. Well, no, he's senator, you know, he is Senator Smear. He smeared Ben Carson, he smeared Marco Rubio, he smeared Donald Trump, and now he's smearing me.

Well, both of them said that I'm taking their votes from their voters. I mean, one guy asked me today, he said, 'Well, Trump says you're taking his voters and Cruz says you're taking his voters, how can you be taking both?'

His record is shutting down the record and making everybody he works with upset.

The problem for him with town halls, he has to actually answer questions in a specific way.

I am a little disturbed by when I heard the use of the word lie over and over.

I don't even know what he was talking about there.

I am the only one that consistently beats Hillary Clinton.

I expanded Medicaid and over 3,000 people now -- women now have health care who didn't before.

Trump is clearly not prepared to be commander in-chief.

He is talking tougher against Trump and his opponents.

When you are the president, you work for the people. It's a very different thing, OK?

You know, frankly, we all of us shouldn't have answered that question, but it was the first debate and, you know, what the heck.

But we're going to have a religious test on who comes in the country. So when you come in country, I say, 'Are you a Muslim? Raise your hand if you're Muslim.' I mean come on, Anderson. That's not going to work.

State government ought to be shifting more power to the neighborhoods.

When we shift welfare, education, infrastructure, job training, Medicaid programs back to the states then we've got to run them, and we have to run them where we live.

We need the solutions in Washington to create the jobs. That is an absolute -- without jobs we don't have anything.

The spirit of our country doesn't rest in the president. I mean, the president's important, but the spirit of our country rests in the neighborhoods, it rests in the people who are here tonight.

You don't ever want to look back and say, I played politics, I took care of my party and I didn't serve the people.

You have to drive the car when you get your hands on the wheel, and you got to have people around that will tell you when you're on the wrong path.

I don't want to get into how courageous I am or anything, but look, we -- the gentleman stood up, first question out of here was Medicaid expansion. I knew it wasn't going to be all that popular.

You can't sit around worrying about who is really going to like you.

I've been pro-life all of my career. The only exceptions are rape, incest and life of the mother.

There are three things needed to grow an economy: common sense regulations; we don't have them now. Lower taxes; all the taxes are going up. And a balanced - and a movement toward a balanced budget.

We have got to begin to teach our kids in K through 12 and also in the community college and the four-year schools to be getting an education for a job that exists.
