I understand. Just shows however, how sane is compared to most out there
except Sanders in the traditional race.
I think he, ironically is less of a hawk than Hillary on foreign policy
though the current crew has pulled him to the right on that.
He also had the guts to as a Republican expand medicaid for Ohio folks under
the ACA.
And unlike our governor here when Kasich found out about the Toledo water
issues related to toxic algae blooms he immediately put out alerts, and he
mobilized the State National Guard to distribute water. He did real good on
that issue.
Oh, and he is not real friendly with unions either.
This all goes to show however how freaking insane the Republican Party is
and even right-wing Democrats when the likes of Kasich seem so bloody sane
in comparison.
Shit Lyndsay Graham is sounding and looking relatively sane nowadays in
comparison.
Anyway we've got a lot of choices between slow death by poisoning and a
quick bullet to the brain in this here election year.
Shoot I almost crossed over and voted for him to screw with Trump and Cruz
in the Michigan Primary, but thought my vote for Sanders was more important.
Glad I made that choice too.
Anyway just saying...It's pretty whacky out there.

He's also no bargain. If I remember correctly, he shut down all the women's
health centers in Ohio or if not that, he did something equally abhorrent.
Maybe it was the food stamp program?

Not denying you that at all. However, Kasich isn't running a viable campaign
either, and you can read that $$$.

At the risk of not being understood, or inflaming all I tell you all here
that I would prefer Kasich over Clinton though certainly not Sanders.
Though he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting the
nomination.
This to the side, Thanks for the poll Miriam.
I do think it shows wherepeople's heartsare.

Signaling that the primary race is far from over, a new national poll
shows Bernie Sanders tied with Hillary Clinton among those who have
voted or plan to vote in a Democratic contest this year.
The Bloomberg Politics survey found 49 percent of respondents
preferred Sanders, while 48 percent backed Clinton.
Bloomberg reports: "By a more than 2-to-1 ratio, Democratic primary
voters say Sanders would fight harder than Clinton for the middle
class and do the most to rein in the power of Wall Street. Nearly six
in 10 say the Vermont senator cares the most about people like them,
and 64 percent see him as the most honest and trustworthy candidate.
Just a quarter of voters said that of Clinton."
J. Ann Selzer, whose firm conducted the poll, told Bloomberg, "It
comes down to this: Bernie Sanders is the one Democrats see as looking
out for them-meaning he will build a stronger middle class at the
expense of Wall Street. They trust him to do it. In the end, Hillary
Clinton has a trust problem."
To that end, Politico notes, "voters were split on her changing views
on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (46 percent bothered to 48 percent
unbothered) and a majority said her paid speeches to Wall Street firms
were a concern (54 percent to 45 percent)."
However, the poll suggested that "Clinton may...benefit from the
shifting focus to foreign policy in the wake of Tuesday's terrorist
attacks in Brussels, which killed at least 31 people," Bloomberg
wrote. "Asked which candidate can best combat Islamic terrorism,
Clinton bests Sanders by a more than 3-to-1 ratio."
Still, Sanders continues to best Clinton in hypothetical
general-election match-ups. While both candidates hold leads over
billionaire Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz, only Sanders earned more
support than Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who led Clinton by four points.
As Bloomberg noted:
The survey also signaled some trouble for Clinton in holding on to
Sanders supporters in November. In general-election match-ups, Sanders
holds a 24-point edge over Donald Trump, a 12-point lead over Ted
Cruz, and a 4-point advantage over John Kasich among likely
Clinton, by contrast, trails Kasich by 4 percentage points. She wouldgeneral-election voters.
carry a sizable lead into a contest against Cruz, where she holds a
9-point advantage, and Trump, whom she beats by 18 points.
The national poll of 1,000 adults was conducted March 19-22 by Selzer
& Co.
of West Des Moines, Iowa. The subgroup of 311 Democratic primary
voters had a margin of error of +/- 5.6 percentage points. The
subgroup of 815 likely general-election voters had a margin of error
of +/- 3.4 percentage points.
Alaska, Hawaii, and Washington state hold closed Democratic primaries
on Saturday.
As Sanders told the Los Angeles Times editorial board on Tuesday: "I
have a lot of very fervent supporters out there and we're not going to
give up until the last vote is counted."
