I have a very low opinion on politicians, which is why I could possibly stomach candidates like Rubio if they ran for governor. However, you could stomach and admire Kasich as a president?

I feel like, unlike Rubio, I feel like Kasich is one of few Republicans who could handle the rigors of being President.

Funny how 10 years ago Jeb Bush would be seen as being on the relative right on the GOP, most moderates would scoff. Where as now he's the moderate, compromise candidate

Nah. I mean, maybe to the right of Rudy Giuliani and John McCain, but come on, he would've been in the center of the GOP.

That's barely even true 20 years ago.

Yes, the GOP has gone rightward. But it's not nearly as immediate as most say. It has been a very gradual change. Bush still would've been the immigration supporting establishment candidate that would've been bashed by the base in 2008 even if his brother hadn't bungled the Presidency.

It's ever since Obama has been President that the base has been a lot louder than in previous years.
