Fmr. A.G. Alberto Gonzales: Kasich ‘the Only Adult Left Standing’ on the GOP Side

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
MITCHELL: "Former U.S. Attorney general Alberto Gonzalez is a John Kasich supporter and joins me now from Nashville. Very good to see you again, thanks very much, general Gonzalez. Let’s talk about John Kasich. It’s all or nothing, Ohio. But what about the argument that Mitt Romney and others are making privately, get out now so that either Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz, most likely Marco Rubio in terms of the establishment, can organize, can gather support and go up against Donald Trump before it’s too late from there perspective."
GONZALES: "Well, from my perspective. Governor Kasich is a stronger alternative. So people are looking at a strong alternative. It seems to me it’s a governor from an influential state of Ohio."
MITCHELL: "Tell me why. He’s in single digits most places."
GONZALES: "I understand that. A lot of work needs to be done, a lot of ground needs to be made up but if you look at the record objectively, as a sitting governor of an influential state, as someone who’s worked in Congress for many years, I think he appreciates the importance of being able to work with Congress as a president in order to make a difference, to get things done for the American people and as I listen to the debates and the campaigning, from my perspective — he’s the only adult left standing in this presidential race on the Republican side and so I’m hopeful that the American public will give him a second look and come to the same realization that I’ve come to and that is that he is the best qualified at this juncture to step into the oval office day one and serve effectively as president."
