Fill in the blank if you can. I'm drawing a blank on politicians.

Ditto. Would have been nice to elect an adult.

Principaled. He didn't pretend. Absolutely yes. More should have shown integrity like that.

I think most republicans were of the mindset that the party didn't have any real direction (at least not much different than that of the democrats) and that's one of the reasons Trump was nominated.

Like Christie? Lounging on his 'privatized' state beach?

ya know....I may have judged Kasich a little too poorly and a little too early...first two debates were my first exposure to him and I visibly cringed every time he opened his mouth....he had exactly four lines and repeated them until I was nauseous...."When I left Washington, I left the country with the last balanced budget.....I, single-handedly, balanced Ohio budget and created a gazillion dollar surplus...As the son of a mailman....I'm a 'reach-across-the-aisle'-bipartisan- 'let's work together'- 'we need each side', kind of leader "

As it turns out, by the end of the campaign...after I'd stopped listening to him....he was actually sounding like someone I could get behind....or maybe it was Distaste for Trump/Anyone but Hillary manifesting itself in my brain.

I'm pretty sure that I'd be good with Kasich

We didn't elect Carly Fiorina for Governor in California...now I think she'd be better as President than Trump...

...I'm sure most Republicans are satisfied with the job Trump is doing...he has used the executive order authority to reverse most of Obama's executive orders to relax regulations on business, even though there will be harm to the environment and a hit to the average citizen's wallet...

...the Republicans are willing to suspend their values, believing that their man can produce more for the wealthiest Americans in the hopes that they will throw some bones to the average American...the old "trickle down economy" playbook that has been so "successful" whenever they control the reins...

I just hope that there will not be a mess at the end of Trump's term, like with GWB and Reagan, that will require a massive clean-up...

Kasich was a good guy. I felt bad for him and Graham in the debates... it was like watching an adult try to figure out why he got seated at the kiddy table.

While criticizing the business sector it is wise to keep these 2 things in mind:
1) I feel confident in saying at least 98.2% of US businesses are going to make decisions to ensure highest profit.
2) Without private business there are no wages, nor taxes.

The trick is to make it so that business will inject as much cash back into the local economies from which those funds are derived. The entire tax code needs to be re-written in such a way that leads businesses to hire more local workers and pay less in dividends. In addition, it should be made prohibitively expensive to move funds generated in the US abroad.

One part of the trick is to have American businesses pay their share for enjoying all of the benefits of being an American corporation (patent protection, copyrights, investment banking, subsidies and tax breaks, logistical support infrastructure: harbors, airports, public roads and highway systems, railroads, internet, public schools and a well-educated labor pool, public utilities, postal system, public courts/corporate law, public safety/PD and FD, and military protection) while moving large parts of their businesses overseas to take advantage of cheap labor, less regulation and lower resource costs. Income earned on foreign soil by US corporations should be taxed as if it was generated here, regardless of where the corporation chooses to deposit it. No more free rides on the Cayman Island express...

This is a corollary to Ant's comment about American companies off-shoring income to avoid income tax...
