Kasich: If the Nominee Is Hurting the Country, ‘I Can’t Stand Behind Them’

COOPER: "So, you’re not ironclad, standing by the initial pledge to support whoever the nominee is?"

KASICH: "You know, frankly, all of us shouldn’t have even answered that question, but it was the first debate, and — you know? What the heck, sometimes you answer questions — you ought to just say I’m not answering it."

COOPER: "So, now, just to be clear --"

KASICH: "I’m as clear as you’re going to get out of me."

COOPER: "You’re not standing by that pledge --"

KASICH: "No, I don’t want to be political here. I got to see what happens. If the nominee is somebody that I think is really hurting the country, and dividing the country, I can’t stand behind them, but we have a ways to go. Let’s see how this all folds out, and then I’ll let you know --"

COOPER: "Is it fair to say that you believe Donald Trump looks like he would harm the country if he was the nominee?"

KASICH: "That’ll be up to the voters here. I’m not going to get into that. That’s too much below the belt."
