Kasich: Trump Has It Within Him to Overcome This and Move Forward If He Maintains Discipline

RUSH EXCERPT:

KASICH: "The president is our president. We want him to be successful. People around him have to get to him, including his own family, to say, okay, you need to show leadership. You need to bring the country together. You’re going to go to Phoenix and make a speech, fine. That’s your right. You can go there. He has free speech like the rest of us have it. But when go, try to use that as an opportunity to say something that’s going to bring people together. You might recall when he delivered that speech to Congress the day after people on CNN said tonight Donald Trump became president. He has it within him, if he can maintain discipline, he has it within him, I think, to overcome this and move forward because if all we’re doing is questioning his motives and what’s in his heart and the right and the left, all we’re doing is fighting and yelling back and forth, Jake, you are all asking the question, how does the country make it with all this fighting? This is ridiculous at this point. Everybody in America needs to take a deep breath and think about your children and think about our country. We don’t do well when all we do is fight. Let’s all take a deep breath and let’s think about what we can do to heal some of the basic issues in this country, which are still out there. That’s why I’m going to go, for example, appalachia. We need to fix that because America is the land of opportunity. I’m sorry to go on and on here. I just feel strongly now that we have to stop it. Stop it now and figure out how to find things that we can agree upon."
