Gov. John Kasich (R-Ohio) openly criticized fellow Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump on ABC's This Week, but he won't say whether he'd vote for the real estate mogul should he become the party's nominee.
"I've been listening to him lately, and you notice he's toned down the rhetoric,” Kasich said Sunday. "I'm just hoping that as we go forward he's going to be a unifier."
That's an interesting comment to try and square with something else Kasich said Sunday: "What Trump does is he complains about everything — these attacks on women, the attacks on Hillary [Clinton] not getting back to the stage on time, the attacks on Hispanics and Muslims."
