Kasich: ‘I’m Not Red or Blue, I’m Red, White, and Blue’

EXCERPT:

KASICH: "I don't -- I don't -- look, I mean, I also told him that I remember back when I first became governor there were some things that I was doing to the point where my wife said to me you’re the father of Ohio, act like it. It takes time for people to get stabilized and we all want to wish this president the best, but that doesn’t mean that when I wish him the best that there might not be things that I see that I don’t agree with and I’m going to say that. I mean, it's -- I’m not trying to pull him down or anybody else down. Look, I’m not red and blue, I’m red, white and blue. I want to put America first, not, you know, my party, some arcane ideology. I mean, if I can help my country, I’m going to do what I can and that comes in various ways and packages."
