John Kasich has a simple message for Republicans who are struggling with how to respond to the 2005 tape that leaked last week of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump boasting about using his celebrity status to grope women.
"Lead by example," he told Business Insider in a Thursday interview.
The Ohio governor and onetime 2016 presidential hopeful, who was the last Trump challenger to drop out of the GOP primary, released an extended response to the tape over the weekend. In that response, he said the tape was not "surprising to me or many others."
"Many people were angry and questioned why I would not endorse Donald Trump or attend the Republican convention," he said. "I've long had concerns with Donald Trump that go beyond his temperament."
He mentioned that the two had "substantive" policy differences on trade, Russia, and the budget, adding that Trump had not changed his "disqualifying" policy stances.
"I've also encouraged him to change his behavior for the better and offer a positive, inclusive vision for our country, but he has not," he said. "It's clear that he hasn't changed and has no interest in doing so. As a result, Donald Trump is a man I cannot and should not support."
Many Republicans had quickly condemned the leaked tape, in which Trump said he could "grab" women "by the p---y" because "when you're a star they let you do it.

I figured his three words would be “vote for Hillary.”
So like, for example, if you make a pledge to support your party’s eventual nominee, would that mean leading by example by breaking your promise? Gee, what a confusing world Kasick lives in.
When Don Trump wins Ohio I will break into hearty laughter.
I have three words for him, but I can’t say them on this forum.
So I’ll try three other words: Never John Kaisch
“Break Your Pledge”
GOP doesn’t want to win.
They’re fine with Hillary but we knew that all along.
John, thanks for confirming where the GOP establishment stands.
Its not with us.
John Kasoch’s three words:
LIE LIKE ME!!
Exactly which years that you “CLAIM” the Budget was balanced and had a Surplus, did the NATIONAL DEBT GO DOWN???
NONE, It went up EVERY YEAR!
That is a distortion of Donald’s comment, which was intended with respect to the privileges of fame in general.
GET OVER IT!
I have just two words for him.
F*** Y**
How about, “Take a hike?”
Yes, a bit tame, but guessing you’re thinking along those lines? :-)
I don’t CARE if Trump led a playboy lifestyle and talked like a sailor in private.
What I’ve heard on that audio tape is NOTHING compared to the filth I have heard, often from Democrats.
Now that is so cool to be gay, the “water cooler’ talk in offices has become R rated. To the point where I have had to tell some of these disgusting pigs to keep their sex life conversation out of the office- they don’t hear straight people talking about sex experiences in the office...
I even got called into HR for it. I told them I didn’t give a $h!t. I could have a new job the next day. (and it turned out they needed me far more than I needed them)
So curl up in the corner and sob like a little wimp?
No thanks John boy.
Until recently, I called people like Kasich my countrymen.
My three words for John:
Kasich is a waste.
Which is more dangerous to your children’s future?
A career politician with a prove track record of corruption and lawlessness who, as the darling of the US Political Media, will be able to thumb her nose at any attempt to check and balance her power (Even if a cowardly PC Congress or Judiciary would be ever willing to try)
A crude lewd businessman, who career has demonstrated a respect for the rule of law, and whose power would be balanced by a hostile media and a suspicious Congress/Judiciary?
John Kaisch need to be fired. Any future position offered him needs to result in an immediate boycott of that business.
The utter imbecilic traitorous nature of his behavior this year requires a reckoning. His behavior deserves political oblivion and personal ruin.
Oh Yes, John Kaysick....how disgusting and disgraceful for him to say anything, since he supports Clinton, RYAN and the rest of the corruption to bring down our Government and Country...and taking money from George Soros...
He will never be elected to the office of Governor of Ohio again, he is in his last term, so the people of Ohio can look around and find someone who will support Trump/Pence when they take over as President and Vice President of our Nation, to help build up the State, to stand tall and help build back the businesses in Ohio that have been taken away for someone else’s greed and power...
I can’t say GOOD BYE KaySick enough, as this man is a total disgrace to the name of MAN...
