WELL, TONIGHT WE MET WITH THE MAN WHO MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE LAST YEAR. IT'S AN INTERESTING QUESTION

WHETHER GOVERNOR JOHN KASICH COULD HAVE EXCITED VOTERS IN

STATES LIKE HIS, OHIO, MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, PENNSYLVANIA.

IN A RACE AGAINST DEMOCRAT HILLARY CLINTON.

COULD HE HAVE GOTTEN THEM OFF THEIR SEATS AND OFF TO THE POLLS

WITH THE SAME ENTHUSIASM THAT TRUMP DID?

THIS MUCH IS CLEAR, THERE STILL EXISTS A REPUBLICAN PARTY WITH

ITS BASIC PHILOSOPHY STRENGTHS OF FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY, FREE

TRADE, SUPPORT FOR SCHOOL CHOICE, AND OPEN SKEPTICISM

TOWARDS RUSSIA. YOU MAY NOT LIKE THOSE VALUES

BUT THEY ARE VALUES, NOT THE CRAZED IMPROMPTU DANCES LEARNED

FOR THE OCCASION WE'RE GETTING FROM DONALD TRUMP.

IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY TO KEEP THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM

ALIVE AND VIBRANT, AND I HAVE A HUNCH THERE WILL BE REPUBLICAN

LEADERS AROUND LIKE JOHN KASICH FAR LONGER THAN WE'LL SEE MORE

DONALD TRUMPS MARCHING ACROSS THE COUNTRY'S STAGE.

THAT'S NOT A HOPE. IT'S A PRAYER.
