Kasich Impresses at Republican Governor’s Meeting

Dan Balz: “It wasn’t exactly the first debate of the 2016 cycle, but it became something of a warm-up, and included a favored tactic from 2012 GOP presidential debates of attacking the moderator to score points with the partisan audience.”

“If joint appearances provide a venue for distinguishing one candidate from another, the first round went to Kasich. The Ohio governor zagged when the others zigged, warning against an overreaction to President Obama’s immigration action, defending expansion of Medicaid under Obamacare and imploring his party to find ways to solve big problems despite differences with the president.”
