I remember seeing a interview of him a few months ago and he said him and his wife attended a gay wedding and he thought nothing bad of it he also said that he "thinks" people are born gay, also in this interview he mention climate change is also human related.
What makes Kasich a threat is he can appeal to Democrats and Republicans especially with interviews like those..

Kasich will be heralded for his opposition to Trump, and conviction of his principals. Plus the GOP will make sure to "snuff out" any meddlesome candidate that gets in Kasich's way on his path to the nomination...much like the Dems did for Hillary this year. 
I'd have to Google that one. Pence ain't the guy, though...with his personality they're better of nominating a jar of mayonnaise.  |
I remember people here making sick jokes about that candidate that got murdered and implying that it can happen to Hillary  that's how I knew about it. It may have been JFK it may have been primary season for him for his second term I'm not sure tho

I 100% agree with you. That's why he scares me. He could easily win. He's a moderate.

Doubt it's AP, but the Harvard Republican Club isn't endorsing Trump:
Quote:
Harvard Republican Club
7 hrs ·
Dear Members and Alumni,
In every presidential election since 1888, the members and Executive Board of the Harvard Republican Club have gathered to discuss, debate, and eventually endorse the standard-bearer of our party. But for the first time in 128 years, we, the oldest College Republicans chapter in the nation, will not be endorsing the Republican nominee.
Donald Trump holds views that are antithetical to our values not only as Republicans, but as Americans. The rhetoric he espouses –from racist slander to misogynistic taunts– is not consistent with our conservative principles, and his repeated mocking of the disabled and belittling of the sacrifices made by prisoners of war, Gold Star families, and Purple Heart recipients is not only bad politics, but absurdly cruel.
Perhaps most importantly, however, Donald Trump simply does not possess the temperament and character necessary to lead the United States through an increasingly perilous world. The last week should have made obvious to all what has been obvious to most for more than a year. In response to any slight –perceived or real– Donald Trump lashes out viciously and irresponsibly. In Trump’s eyes, disagreement with his actions or his policies warrants incessant name calling and derision: stupid, lying, fat, ugly, weak, failing, idiot –and that’s just his “fellow” Republicans.
He isn’t eschewing political correctness. He is eschewing basic human decency.

Why be scared of Kasich...the people of Ohio love him. 
You have Kasich become the nominee in 2020, with the telegenic, confederate flag removing, racial healing Governor of SC Nikki Haley as his running mate...Hillary wouldn't stand a prayer to get reelected. 
But do I trust the GOP to make this ^ political "dream team" a reality?
The GOP better have a "come to Jesus" moment after this election is all I can say.

I found the rules on when a candidate drops out after his or her nomination, it does not automatically go to the VP nominee
Committee rules governs "Filling Vacancies in Nominations," and stipulates that should the party's presidential or vice presidential candidate leave the ticket for whatever reason, the hole may be filled either by a reconvening of the national convention or by the party committee itself. The vice presidential nominee is not given any preferential consideration.
Should the committee elect to fill the vacancy — a seemingly more likely scenario given the logistics involved in organizing a second convention — Republican National Committee members representing a given state are entitled to cast the same number of votes as that state was entitled to at the convention.
If the RNC members from any state are not in agreement about casting of their votes, the votes of that state are divided equally among members of the RNC voting.
The final stipulation of the rule is that no candidate may be chosen to fill a vacancy except by receiving a majority of the votes entitled to be cast in the RNC election

That would certainly be something to see happen: Trump lose SC...that has been like the "take it to the bank" slam dunk state for Republicans for years.
SC Gov Haley doesn't like Trump, neither does Senator Tim Scott...and we all know how Senator Lindsay Graham feels about Trump...all REPUBLICANS to boot!

4th Circuit refused to freeze their ruling on NC's voter ID law. If the Supreme Court refuses to block it as well then the law is dead

Then as other political pundits have said it would go to House Speaker Paul Ryan...he's the easy, no nonsense choice. And that takes creeper Ted Cruz out of the equation.

I'm 50/50 on this, without an ID I can say I'm my brother and cast a vote and than go to my precinct and say I'm the real me and cast another vote  when I voted in FL I showed my drivers license and thought nothing negative of it, why in NC is this a big deal? Is the ID a different type of ID like a actual voting ID?
I think people in general should always be carrying some type of U.S. Identification

Can we take a moment to realize that Arizona is going blue for the first time since the 90s?

You should have ID when voting. End of story. Everyone has a right to a driver's license, passport, or other form of state or national ID.

CNBC predicts this..
Should lightning strike and Trump drops out, potential candidates that could fill the vacancy would include House Speaker Paul Ryan, Republican primary runner-up Ted Cruz, and vice presidential nominee Mike Pence.
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/08/03/what-...tial-race.html
Also the Democrats have a easier process I looked it up if their candidate drops out the DNC chair decides the replacement during a special meeting
