John Kasich: "I've about had it with these people"

Debate watchers Wednesday can expect to see a more aggressive Kasich at Wednesday night's debate - on Tuesday, he ripped apart a few of his opponents without naming them:

  • On Donald Trump and Ben Carson:

"We'd better be careful that we don't turn this country over to somebody who's not capable of running it. Because if we turn this country...over to somebody who thinks they can scream or bluster or operate their way to success, it's my kids that are going to be at risk and your kids, and your grandchildren, and all of us."

  • On Jeb Bush:

"One of the candidates says he's known as Veto Corleone," Kasich said. "He's so proud of the fact that he vetoes everything. You know what vetoes are? Vetoes are a sign that you can't get what you want."

  • Overall:

"I want you know that I'm fed up. I am sick and tired of listening to this nonsense, and I'm going to have to call it like it is as long as I'm in this race." -- at a speech in Westerville, Ohio, Tuesday


Ben Carson on responding to debate attacks:

"Basically, I'm not going to get into a bunch of fights with people about personalities and individual attacks. I think that's silly. That's not what we're here for." -- in the spin room in Boulder, Colorado

Hillary Clinton on Export-Import Bank reauthorization

"I was also relieved yesterday to see that the House finally voted to reauthorize the Export Import Bank. Now, the Senate needs to do exactly the same...

"Republicans and Democrats have worked together on this [Export-Import Bank] for decades. It actually returns a profit to the Treasury. It's not one of those government programs where money's going in and nothing's coming back. It actually has a surplus. So it became a political football. Whether for ideological or political reasons, there are people in Washington against it, and that makes absolutely no sense." -- at "Politics and Eggs" luncheon at St. Anselm College in Manchester
