In retrospect, would Republican voters have preferred 4 years of Trump, or 8 years of:
- Republican Senate
- Republican House
- Republican President who beats Hillary, wins Upper Midwest, gets massive legislation passed, is a real gentleman, was a Governor/House leader...
a balanced budget (lol), anti-abortion, pro-death penalty, pro education/lgbt, embraced diversity, rural voter positive ratings, 8 years of judges, etc.

Why was Trump selected over John Kasich? Imagine the Ex Budget Chair pushing through yearly bills, instead of just one tax cut
The Republican Primaries were not kind to the party, or the country.

The clear choice for a moral and political leader that ultimately would have gotten a lot more done was John Kasich.

Even I might have considered voting for him. @JohnKasich
