I predict he won't enter the race unless both Bernie and either Trump or Cruz get nominated.

Then he will be the "corporatist choice" that the corporate media will get behind to try and split the "populist" support for the two party candidates to draw corporatist support (and those prone to corporate propaganda) to his side.

Cruz talks like someone that should be monitored closely for irrational behavior and possibly be under adult supervision at the very least by a home health care nurse. I wish I could say I am joking, but I think he is an actual menace to society.

Kasich seems rational and sane. I haven't heard him say anything that is outright scary. I think he would get the most support from the general public to do some very bad things like cut benefits for very poor people and continue to deregulate things that need to be regulated for environmental protections, plus he has good taste in music and seems kind of likable like that crazy uncle that mostly you don't listen too, but he's cool when you have Christmas dinner and smokes his pipe and plays cards.

Some are louder than others, but when it comes down to it all of them would do the same destructive things if elected.

...100%. His dad's denomination, or cult, or whatever you want to call it, props him up as some kind of messiah figure. He's also shown he's not above dirty tricks to try to win. See his Iowa antics for proof.

He's a danger to Social Security, unions, education, reproductive rights, marriage equality, and a host of other things that matter.
