Inks,
Great article by the way cool to see an article by a forum member published in The Hill. But, Kasich is too boring and not conservative enough for most republicans.
I take issue with the underlined part of your quote. I didn't used to, but the way this primary season has played out give me pause.
There are a lot of "big government Republicans". What they want is the kind of "big government" Donald Trump provides. Some of Trump's supporters are heavily conservative in one area or another, and some are "movement conservatives" for whom the GOP has lost its credibility. But these folks are more than willing to take on Trump and his apostasy on several issues where he deviates from GOP orthodoxy. I think that the real problem is that the GOP Establishment doesn't really have an accurate idea as to who and what the Republican Party actually is these days. It's more than the "movement conservatives" who are supposed to dominate primaries, but who aren't dominating this one.
