Never in my lifetime have I been called boring. But I think I was a boring candidate for president because I tried to be responsible. And one of the greatest problems I had is that I was governor.

More quotes by John Kasich
A leader has a sound program, has a good policy, and then brings people together to solve problems.
John Kasich
I can't work any harder. I can't do any more. I am literally just blown away and humbled by the volunteers and how hard they're working. I think they've got a sense that they're going to be part of something bigger than themselves.
John Kasich
The stuff that I propose are things that I'm ready to govern with. They're not tools to get elected. They are programs and plans to do when you get elected.
John Kasich
I was discouraged when I read that [Senate Minority Leader Mitch] McConnell said that Trans-Pacific Partnership was dead, but then I was told he turned around and said, No, it's not.
John Kasich
This is not about Republican or Democrat. It is about our children, it's about our families, it is about our country, and frankly, ladies and gentlemen, it is about the world. We've got to leave here and march, and make sure Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are president and vice president of the United States.
John Kasich
Politics can not only be drudgery and Captain Queeg with the balls in his hands.
John Kasich
There is a big problem. It's called encryption. And the people in San Bernardino were communicating with people who the FBI had been watching. But because their phone was encrypted, because the intelligence officials could not see who they were talking to, it was lost.
John Kasich
Every time I go to Washington, I break out in a cold sweat. So I try not to spend too much time there.
John Kasich
[Barack Obama] needs to really engage both Republicans and Democrats.
John Kasich
A president of the United States, again, has to bring people together, have a position. We need to be able to penetrate these people when they are involved in these plots and these plans. And we have to give the local authorities the ability to penetrate to disrupt. That's what we need to do.
John Kasich
One of the things that I'm really concerned about is that people who don't have power are not priorities for people in public life. Maybe it's always been that way, but I see it more starkly now.
John Kasich
Somebody tells me no, they're not going to keep telling me no, because I'm going to bother them to the point where it's a lot easier for them to say yes than keep saying no.
John Kasich
We've got to unite our country again, because we're stronger when we are united and we are weaker when we are divided.
John Kasich
If the [Republican] party wants to have an ideological debate, it's never going to win anything in a major way.
John Kasich
These are serious matters, and we can never let up on these sanctions [against Russia].
John Kasich
As long as the White House is deadly serious, which they tell me they are, I'll help them anyway I can.
John Kasich
Frankly, we are republicans and they're democrats but before all of that, we're Americans. And I believe we need to unify in so many ways to rebuild our country, to strengthen our country, to rebuild our defense, and for America to secure it's place it world for us, for our children, and for the next generation.
John Kasich
When you ask people, do they believe that we ought to have trade, I think people understand it's important.
John Kasich
It's an individual morality in values that matters in these companies [like Wells Fargo]. I mean, they ought to clean house. And they ought to figure out how to claw back all this money. That is a given. In terms of additional laws, there are reasonable approaches to this, but I'd have to see what they are. I'm not a federal lawmaker.
John Kasich
People have accused me at times of having too big of a heart.But I have to also to say I must keep the people of my state safe. So we take a pause [in taking refugees].
John Kasich
