If he maintains some popularity, the money will follow. Keep in mind there's still big donors waiting it out and plenty of other donors who will throw money at him solely because he's not Trump or Cruz.

I guess if they'd like another Bob Dole or John McCain to trot out there, Kasich might be their man

There is some stuff on his positions regarding taxes, immigration, veterans affairs etc etc on his website. Some of it appears fairly detailed.

The party still can't win without minority or female votes. Kasich might be their best chance at stealing some of those votes and also scooping up moderate voters who hate she-devil Hillary/don't wanna get taxed 80% by Bernie.

Independent voters rule the roost. Doesn't matter their gender or skin color, they far outnumber any other group or stripe. And at this point I don't see any candidate that I as a Independent, really like.
That said, I wouldn't mind Bernie winning the Dem nomination, and as long as it isn't Bush, Kasich, Cruz or Rubio with the GOP nomination, I'm okay.
Hell, might even vote for Trump if he wins the Nom.

Well in that case, you'll end up with a guy like Cruz having a better chance than a moderate. They went the Romney/McCain route already and gained no independents.
Rubio and Bush are toast btw.

It's a pretty angry electorate and that includes the Indys, so definitely "moderates" are out in the cold this time around.

Trump probably stands as good a chance, if not better of grabbing a lot of those moderate votes. Would probably get a ton of moderate independents too.
Kasich is the same thing as Dole and McCain, in other words he has zero chance of winning unless the ****** Sanders wins the dem side. And I don't think the dems will let him win, even if he really did.
Already doing it to Sanders in NH. Apparently despite being trampled by 20+ pts Hildakunt is leaving NH with the same number of delegates as Sanders got.

You cant make this stuff up.
Reporter Took Orders from Hillary Clinton’s Staff, Down to Specific Adjective
by John Sexton9 Feb 2016552
A newly revealed email exchange shows a reporter for a major political magazine agreeing to use the exact word suggested by a member of Hillary’s staff to write positive coverage of her speech.
The email exchange between the Atlantic‘s Marc Ambinder and Hillary Clinton’s aide at the State Department, Philippe Reines, took place in 2009. It was published Tuesday by Gawker.
Ambinder wrote to Reines asking for an advance copy of a speech Hillary was set to deliver to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). Reines replied that he would make the speech available on three conditions:
1) You in your own voice describe them as “muscular”
2) You note that a look at the CFR seating plan shows that all the envoys — from Holbrooke to Mitchell to Ross — will be arrayed in front of her, which in your own clever way you can say certainly not a coincidence and meant to convey something
3) You don’t say you were blackmailed!
Ambinder immediately responded, “got it.” As promised, Ambinder wrote coverage of the CFR speech which opened:
Asked about having Hillary’s PR people write his columns, Ambinder now claims he does not remember the exchange and adds that he is not interested in defending it. “It made me uncomfortable then, and it makes me uncomfortable today,” he tells Gawker.
The Atlantic is not the only news site which covered Clinton’s CFR speech exactly as her staff wanted it covered. In an amazing coincidence, Mike Allen of Politico wrote about the speech in a piece that opened, “In a muscular first major address as secretary of state….” And midway through the story Allen writes, “A look at the CFR’s guest seating chart shows that arrayed in the front row will be top members of her team — the envoys she has called her “force multipliers”: Richard Holbrooke, George Mitchell, Dennis Ross, Philip Goldberg and Stephen Bosworth.”
Similarly, the New York Times’ Mark Landler seemed to be working from the same script. In his second paragraph he writes, “But with its muscular tone and sweeping scope, it was also an effort to recapture the limelight….” And in his fourth paragraph, he mentions the attendees, “She even marshaled a cheering section of special envoys and other senior American diplomats in the first few rows at the Council on Foreign Relations.” Neither of these details appeared in the Associated Press story about the speech which the New York Times linked.
There’s no proof that Allen or the Landler spoke with Reines or anyone else working for Clinton before filing their stories, but the details are remarkably similar. And, in the case of Politico‘s Mike Allen, other emails show he has willing to offer a guaranteed “no risk” interview of Chelsea Clinton, seemingly as a way to ingratiate himself with Hillary Clinton

I think Christie could wind up in the new administration in some capacity. Maybe attorney general if he isn't a VP.

The anger is the very reason that Trump has a chance . I don't know if Trump is going to do any of the stuff he is promising , but threatening to boot illegals out and other such topics tap right into anger from the voters.

The government spent $3 trillion last year on healthcare. Why lowball it?
