Any politician who is not a unifier is not somebody that I want to be for.

Coalition [against ISIS] need the tools. And the tools involve encryption where we cannot hear what they're even planning. And when we see red flags, a father, a mother, a neighbor who says we have got a problem here, then we have to give law enforcement the ability to listen so they can disrupt these terrorist attacks before they occur.

You watch people run for president, and a large part of what they say, they don't ever follow through on. But I don't think you can afford to wait on this [trade agreements].

A friend asked one of my daughters, Do you like politics? And my daughter said, No, I don't. And the reason I don't like it is because there's too much fighting, too much yelling. It's so loud, I don't like it. You know, I turned to my friend and I said, You know, she's really on to something.

Furthermore, when there is cheating, the cheating needs to be called. And I see that the administration has become much more aggressive on that front [of retraining people who get displaced].
John Kasich
Image
We've just let too many things happen. And now, try to turn around and fix it. Getting involved in a [Syria] civil war directly was never something I thought made sense.
John Kasich

Frankly, we should publicly increase them [ anti-Russian sanctions ].

I opposed the U.S. involvement in Lebanon. We ended up having to withdraw our marines after our barracks were blown up.

Politics doesn't have to be a drag. It can be positive, and it can be fun, and it can be inspiring.
John Kasich

I have never worshipped at the altar of free trade, but I've always been an advocate of free trade.
John Kasich
Image
The first thing we better get going is strengthening our economy, because if we don't have a strong economy, we can't pay for all of this. And the world wants us to be able to function from strength, believe it or not.
John Kasich

Politics can not only be drudgery and Captain Queeg with the balls in his hands.
John Kasich
Image
Look, we have a very lousy system for retraining workers that get disrupted. And, you know, I just don't see anybody that's particularly interested in fixing that. They think it's fixed, but it's not fixed. So, we need a dramatic improvement in the way we train people who get displaced.

Sometimes people just don't understand the way that I work in politics.
John Kasich
Image
We're now going to develop the standards on transparency, data collection for police, but the whole goal is to fully integrate the police into the community because everybody has the same goals.
John Kasich
Image
I don't look at polls, I pay no attention to them. I pay attention to the public, and the sense of where the public is on certain things, but you have to lead.
John Kasich

When you ask people, do they believe that we ought to have trade, I think people understand it's important.

God gives me unconditional love. I'm going to give it to my family and my friends and the people around me.
John Kasich
Image
I think people are frustrated with dysfunction, not just dysfunction in government, but a lot of dysfunction that surrounds them. I get the frustration with drugs in the neighborhood or my kids with big college loans can't find a job.

We're all hypocrites. We all say one thing and do another. But why don't we try to do what we say more than what we don't?
