John Kasich Role In Politics

"That'll be up to the voters here,” Kasich said. "I’m not going to get into that. That's too much below the belt."

When the words “swing state” are mentioned, Florida is perhaps one of the first states a person may think of. In this year’s election cycle, the story is no different. Florida has a single senate seat up for election, and Marco Rubio (R), and Patrick Murphy (D) are hoping to claim it on November 8th. Marco Rubio has held that seat since the last senate election in 2010, giving him an edge as the incumbent. Patrick Murphy is the challenger and has been a member of the House of Representatives since 2012. A glance at any polling numbers shows Rubio ahead, and most have shown him ahead since the beginning of the race. The polls do not show a commanding lead, as one may expect from an incumbent. While polling margins are slimmer than many average incumbents, money has not stopped flowing to Rubio. His finances are typical of an incumbent particularly that of a closely contested race. It may be impossible to tell which has the greater effect of Rubio’s fundraising. In states that are typically swing states and have close political races, simple analyses such as incumbency advantage may not fully explain the results and polls in the race.

Looking at the demographics of his constituency, it noticeable it contains the concentration of components of the Democratic Party. There is a large university presence in the Pittsburgh area and the majority of his constituency is 18-44 years old (U.S. Census Bureau, 2017) and according to (cite) education and youth usually equals democrat. According to (cite) the older generation is usually more conservative. It is studied that people vote based on political party because of political socialization and much of this area has been politically socialized for the democrat party as seen by previous elections in the Pittsburgh area where (cite and add fec previous elections or almanac.) 99% of his population lives in urban areas, and according to (cite) people in urban areas are typically more liberal,

Cruz’s view on the economy this: something different. Maybe that is all he needs to say for people to be attracted to him as a candidate. He has created a simple tax plan which states that every person would have to pay a 10% flat

Senator Cruz has done very poorly and after his New York performance, which was a total disaster, he is in free fall and as everyone has seen, he does not react well under pressure. Also, approximately 80% of the Republican Party is against him. Governor Kasich, who has only won 1 state out of 41, in other words, he is 1 for 41 and he is not even doing as well as other candidates who could have stubbornly stayed in the race like him but chose not to do so. Marco Rubio, as an example, has more delegates than Kasich and yet suspended his campaign one

The Republican party wants to stop Donald Trump from becoming president. In Washington, Mr. Kasich’s persistence in the race has become a source of frustration. The event is occurring in the United States. All Americans are impacted on this event. According to Karl Rove the nomination would be catastrophic, dooming the party in November. I think that Donald Trump should not be president if everyone is worried about

As July quickly approaches and the Republican Party continues to self-destruct, largely due the 24 hour snake oil sales pitch of Donald Trump, a very small part of me almost feels sorry for the most delusional man to ever hit the campaign trail- Ted Cruz. After last week's humiliating 5 state loss, most rational human beings would decide that it's time to throw in the towel and call it a day, however, Ted Cruz has never been accused of being rational, or even human for that matter.

I want Scott Walker to emphasize that he is a governor in typical Democrat state that accomplished conservative principles. Further, I want to run Walker as the typical American dad. Ads will feature Walker with his family including at sporting events, and Walker on his bikes. Walker does need to moderate a bit on social issues specifically gay marriage and abortion. I want Walker to emphasize he supports tradition marriage but respects gay marriage as his wife’s cousin is a lesbian. Further, Walker must moderate on abortion and support abortion in cases of rape and incest. Walker also needs to develop top-notch foreign policy chops as this is where he is weakest. I am suggesting Walker invest in several foreign policy advisors. Essentially, Walker will run as a more conservative John Kasich. I feel Walker can be much stronger than Kasich as Walker can compete in Iowa and New

In modern campaign races, candidates must find new and unique ways to connect with United States citizens. In the United States, the campaign of 2016 started off and continues to show a shift in issues citizens currently find important. The campaign has been unique for who ran and continue to run for the title of nominee. There are some veterans such as Hillary Rodham Clinton and some new to the race such as Ben Carson. The Republican Nomination for 2016 more than the Democrat’s has brought a large spectrum of different candidates with distinctive rhetoric and stances on issues to the public eye. An individual that stood out greatly against the grain was Donald John Trump. Trump’s work with The Apprentice did help to get his face known in the public, but may not the reason he attained a large support on the campaign trail. Other factors such as personality traits and social media contribute additionally to how well Trump campaigned. Trump contain some traits such as an appeal to voters through his rhetoric, an association with the Republican party, and utilization of social media. Trump’s effective usage of these two methods allowed him to become the Republican Nominee.

“Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush will make his first official campaign stop in Colorado” (Rittiman). Jeb Bush started his presidential campaign August 25th and seems to be falling fast just two months later. Suffering Donald Trump 's reality show style insults and the problems his family 's dynasty created Jeb has been steadily falling in the polls. He first came out running with many people behind him seeing him as genuine, but now he is beginning to fall prey to Trump 's demonization. Bush is losing funding fast and unfortunately for him some are calling him the next Scott Walker.

Recent remarks by Donald Trump are pretty dark. It was easy to shrug off when the celebrity first caught a lead in the primary polls. Media contributors casually called it an early election-cycle phenomena, with references to the Godfather of pizza Herman Cain and his brief rise and hard fall. All the usual caveats about primary battles occurring such a long way from Iowa have been made. Republican strategists brush it aside. “Trump is an entertainer, that gave him high name recognition and an instant following. Eventually, party loyalists will, respectfully, choose a more substantive candidate.”

Over the last few months, Donald Trump has taken the political world by storm after rising to the position of the Republican frontrunner of the 2016 election. Since it was announced in June 2015, Trump’s campaign has been wildly successful. Trump has promised massive changes in many areas of the US government, which has earned him a massive following.

The 12th GOP debate hosted by CNN is a crucial debate where the stakes are all on the line with two major winner take all key contests in Florida and Ohio on Tuesday. For Florida Senator Marco Rubio, its do or die. After a disappointing performance during Super Tuesday 2, coming out with no delegates and with pressure to drop out, Rubio switched his tactics to attack Trump on issues over his character (or manhood). Texas Senator Ted Cruz did the same, using the debate to showcase a two-man show over four. Ohio Governor John Kasich kept with the same positive routine he has done in previous debates.

Kasich was also re-elected in 2014 when he won 86 out of 88 counties. As Governor for Ohio he has reduced the states’ 8-million dollar economic shortfall into a 2-billion dollar surplus. Kasich has also cut taxes by millions of dollars in Ohio. Kasich is currently serving as Governor and in July of 2015 he announced his intention to run for the Republican nomination. On May 4, 2016 as one of only three candidates left, John Kasich suspended his campaign after only winning his home state in the primaries.

John Ellis “Jeb” Bush, comes from a very political background. Having his father George H. W. Bush and oldest brother George W. Bush, both serve as President of the United States, gives him a lot of inspiration and drive, also wanting to make a difference in our world, all while being a man of his own. Jeb is standing strong with his beliefs in his platform. A few of his issues include domestic, economical, international relations, and education. He entrusts that this will help improve the overall outcome of America. So, let us take a deeper look into his political campaign, and observe how his platform issues help create his inspiration into becoming our President for 2016.
