I think we're going to go to a convention -- which is really an extension of the political process -- and when we get there, the delegates are going to think about two things: No. 1, who can win in the fall? And I was glad to hear Lindsey (Graham) say 'Kasich's the best general election candidate' because I don't think the other two can win, and secondly -- now this is a crazy idea -- who actually could be president of the United States and do a good job? When the delegates think about that, I think we will do very well and we will go to the convention with momentum.

Because to allow this to linger, to put this off, to think that somehow this is going to go away is naive at best. i believe that sometimes friends will disagree -- or, I wouldn't say Russia's our friend, but I would say interested parties can disagree.

I've balanced budgets, I was the chief architect (of a balanced federal budget) in Washington, we created jobs, families were better, when I came to Ohio we were $8 billion in the hole, now we're $2 billion in the black, we have lots of school choice, I've cut taxes by more than any sitting governor in America. You know, families are better, wages are growing faster than the national average, our credit is strong. What is there not to like?

Ohio Gov. John Kasich

It's so silly! here's what my goal is: I not only want to cut taxes and create jobs for families, but ship a lot of programs back home so that people will be empowered to begin to build our families and our communities, which is about the spirit of our country. Now if that's not conservative, you tell me what is.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich

That is conservatism, to give people a chance to live out their God-given potential, and because some people say they don't like my tone or because I question abolishing Medicare or Medicaid, that that's not conservative? Listen, I have a plan to improve Medicare and Medicaid. I have done it in Ohio. To say that we're going to deport 10 or 11 million people and divide families, that's just nutty.

In my lifetime, I can't remember a time when our nation waits for bad things to happen to us. We need to take control of our future now, today I lay out my vision for lifting our nation by reclaiming our power, by reclaiming our money and by reclaiming our influence from Washington.

I got Bush's campaign people out in my hometown, and I have a library out there, OK? I got a library out there. So they've been living in this library trying to dig up all this stuff against me.

A lot of the people who are doing the complaining and saying, why isn't anything getting done -- maybe they ought to look in the mirror, what have they accomplished?

And Boehner sat at the leadership table right next to me and we pushed those things through and that was some of the most productive time that Republicans or conservatives have had.

I would sign it, yes, look, I'm a governor. I'm a CEO. I have to have a hand steady on the wheel. But in this case, I'm more than glad to say that of course I would sign that.

I think (abortion) is an important issue, but I think there's many other issues that are really critical. Early childhood. Infant mortality. The environment. Education, i think we focus too much on just one issue, and now that the issue of gay marriage is kind of off the table, we're kind of down to one social issue.

I think ISIS has risen, frankly, because there's been nobody over there to stop them, i think that all the religions of the world ought to stand up and say, 'You blow up innocent men, women and children and you think you're going to paradise? There's something wrong with you. You're nuts. If we catch you, we're going to throw you into prison, maybe for the rest of your life.'.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich

I think it relates to (issues) like early childhood education for kids, people who are in prison, giving them a chance to get their lives back if they want to earn their way there.
