Kasich seems like a reasonable guy and a decent speaker, but it's painfully obvious to me he can't win. | ||

Kasich's dad was a mailman. And John was on the budget committee. I almost forgot. Christie is a former federal prosecutor. | ||

Too much nationalism? It's a song on America what's the big deal? That can't be it. 2. Children singers? We have plenty of child singers and actors. Do some people hate the notion of American pride that much? "EWWW AMERICA. Gross!" ?? | ||

You shouldn't be able to decide what goes into your body, unless its McDonalds and you want to be a fat ass. Then get your stomach stapled because you can't discipline yourself, then proceed to STILL be a tub of shit. | ||

Trump was a great alpha male tonight, which is all he really needs to be. Carson may actually be narcoleptic, and yea Kasich was on the defense committee for 18 years! | ||

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) wants President Barack Obama to declare a federal emergency in Flint, where the water is unsafe to drink due to high amounts of lead, a deadly neurotoxin. “We are utilizing all state resources to ensure Flint residents have access to clean and safe drinking water and today I am asking President Obama to provide additional resources as our recovery efforts continue," Snyder said late Thursday in a statement. Snyder's office said federal aid could include things like grants for temporary housing and repairs. "Public assistance helps cover some of the costs incurred by state and local governments due to damage to public facilities and infrastructures, such as city schools and the water system," the statement said. Flint's water went bad after the city switched to the Flint River as its water source as a temporary cost-saving measure in 2014. The state (and the federal government) failed to ensure the city treated the water to prevent it from corroding pipes, many of which are made from lead. The state denied there was a problem until a Flint pediatrician documented high lead levels in blood tests of Flint kids at the end of September. Lead can harm every system in the body, and young children exposed to lead can suffer stunted growth and brain damage. Even though Flint switched back to the Detroit water system, it's unclear when Flint tap water will be safe to drink again. Residents have been advised to use filters or drink bottled water.
