“I don’t want any other parents to ever go through what I’ve been through, am still going through [with] her sister her dad and her 4-year-old son”, DaRe said.

KASICH: Folks, we had better be careful we don’t turn this country over to somebody who is not capable of running it.

If it sounds like a dynamic that might leave a two-term governor feeling a little frustrated, you might understand Kasich delivering an unscripted rant at an event in his home state yesterday. “We’re gonna pick them up and take them to the border and scream at them to get out of our country”.

But Kasich did not stop there and also went after Ben Carson for his 10 percent flat tax proposal. The Ohio governor struggled in last month’s CNN debate to get talking time, declining to interrupt to get a word in.

Kasich has been frequently traveling out of state for his White House bid, spending time most recently in the early primary voting state of New Hampshire. “If we want to get serious about economic growth, we need less government and more ‘us'”.

“There isn’t really an establishment frontrunner, and Kasich is trying to fill that void”, said Greg Mueller, a GOP strategist whose Virginia-based firm works for the political action committee supporting Carly Fiorina’s presidential bid.

Kasich’s remarks came as he prepares to join nine other candidates at Wednesday’s Republican debate hosted by CNBC in Boulder, Colorado.

Kasich also brought up Trump’s comments on Ford, saying he is taking undue credit for the company moving jobs back to America from Mexico.

“What’s happened to our party? I’m very appreciative of his endorsement and I’m very excited about what we’re going to be able to do together to move the campaign forward in Alabama, the South and across the nation”. “What’s happened to the conservative movement?”

“These were garden-variety, stereotypical charges that are leveled at a candidate in the context of an election”, said Rob Nichols, a spokesman for Kasich. Born in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, in 1952, Kasich previously served as member of the U.S. House of Representatives for Ohio’s 12th district from 1983 to 2001.
