Gov.
John Kasich of Ohio shed his nice-guy image on Tuesday, lamenting the
decline of the conservative movement and accusing his rivals for the
Republican presidential
nomination of peddling “crazy” ideas.
At a rally in Ohio, Mr. Kasich, a popular governor known for his moderate views, unloaded on his opponents.
“Let me tell you something,” Mr. Kasich said, his anger boiling over. “I’ve about had it with these people.”
Mr.
Kasich went on to argue that Republicans who proposed abolishing
Medicaid and Medicare, imposing a 10 percent flat tax, or deporting
millions of people were out of
touch with reality. Without mentioning anyone by name, Mr. Kasich
appeared to be taking aim at Ben Carson and Donald J. Trump, the
outsider candidates who have been dominating national and state polls
for months.
“We’re
gonna pick them up and we’re gonna take them to the border and scream
at them to get out of our country,” he said, referring to Mr. Trump’s
plan to build a wall
along the Mexican border and remove immigrants who entered the United
States illegally. “Well that’s just crazy.”
Mr.
Kasich’s outburst came a day before Republicans will gather in Colorado
for their third presidential debate. The Ohio governor has been
investing much of his resources
in New Hampshire in hopes that a strong performance in the primary
there will jump-start his campaign, but he has struggled to break
through in a crowded field as voters appear enticed by candidates who
lack political experience.
Now Mr. Kasich is suggesting that his party has lurched too far to the right.
“What has happened to our party?” he asked. “What has happened to the conservative movement?”
