The New York Times editorial endorsing John Kasich is well written, timely and to the point. He is the best choice for the GOP nomination and the most positive and issue-oriented of the GOP candidates. His record shows concern for the poor. He has experience both in Washington and as a Governor. My second choice is Jeb Bush. While he does not seem to have what it takes as a campaigner, his positions and his record are good. Trump and Cruz have two things in common, neither of them good. 1. They say whatever they need to say to get their faithful to cheer; never mind what moderates and independents might think. 2. By personality types, neither shows compassion or understanding for the poor, the immigrant, or the marginalized in America. In addition, I cannot imagine either of them in charge of the foreign policy of this great land. Either of them would make Obama look like a foreign policy genius.
Here is the link to the New York Times editorial endorsing Kasich as the best option in the field for the GOP.
