5. Except - I think John Kasich is basically fair

To me - he was the greatest threat to a Democratic Party President taking office in 2017.

Have you ever seen the exit polls from his Governor's race? Or who gave him who newspaper endorsements?

I'm not saying I *love* the guy - but he is trying to follow the rule of law. I almost feel like they (the Trump campaign) are trying to make him clean up THEIR mess.

He was pretty clearly disgusted with the vile crap that came out of Trump's mouth, has refused to endorse, and won't be present.

Do I want gun violence there? NO! Nope! Hell to the no!

I don't want innocent people to be hurt.

But he didn't let the genie out of the bottle. Trump did. It's his problem. He needs to go explain himself to the local PD.
