but what i'm saying is that john kasich is the great alternative.orm, because we don't know yet, we're only one year into his term, so does he not perform, john kasich would be a great republican alternative and better than that the democrats will put up because the democrats don't have anybody. he is the best next guy this line. >> president trump has been in office for about 400 days and astha has made only one trip to california. has he abandoned the state? >> i'm so happy that he only made one trip. the very fact that he doesn't want us to write-off the state tax is a direct attack on california californians. so i don't think he cares about california. and i think california sdntd care about him. >> you addressed education, environment, health care. those are not cornerstones of republican platforms these days. tuning the pa do you think the party can win on those issues? >> i think it is extremely important to just look at the problems that we have in the united states. so it is great when you talk about that we must be number one economically.

hear these guys talk, in new hampshire, john kasich telling everyone he was the prince of light, that title has been taken. you don't look like jesus to me, john. i see jeff flake up there with that cringeworthy joe, i like the segment peter doocy did right after when he pointed out there was not a single murmur, laugh, or clap during his whole speech. >> kennedy: let's talk about these people because they are not visionaries. they don't have a strong vision of what they are america would look like and that's why people voted for president trump. it isn't enough to get the attention of the base and republican voters and more of them have said since october, by 13 percentage points, they are more likely to vote for president trump again in the primary in 2020. i have no problem with a bunch of people running for president, the difference here is president trump isn't really a republican. these people who somehow think they are going to make the republican party normal again

he also talked about his relationship with former presidential candidate john kasich and the possibility for teaming up for a bipartisan 2020 presidential ticket. this is 25 minutes. >>> welcome back. thank all of you for joining axios where our events follow our format that you get on axios.com and on our news letters and now we're honored to welcome to the stage a governor who just gave his final state of the state address and so has done the nga circuit quite a few times. it's our honor to welcome colorado governor john hickenlooper. >> thank you so much for coming. really appreciate it. you were just telling me backstage about a morning ritual that you have with your phone. >> and i left my cell phone luckily off stage right. so every morning i have a count cabinet, pro administration, so we have a lot of staff educationally oriented, a lot of programs we want to finish very strong. if you're trying to worry about your next job or people are not really focused on finishing what they've started, then you don't get the same outcomes. >> now, governor, you've seen education from a varie

and governor of ohio, john kasich. governor, i go to you first, what's your take on this? >> well, look, tillerson was big cheese before he took this job. a huge, huge company. he traveled the world. i had a meeting with him in houston. and i liked him. i thought -- >> while he was with exxon? >> yes, while he was exxon. and, you know, he goes into there and he's got his own style. he's got his management style and all those kinds of things. clearly didn't fit. but i don't know why they couldn't have gotten along, really, better. i mean, i think tillerson's a smart guy, sophisticated. but it didn't fit. the concern i have is -- i'm sure bob would feel the same way, if you have too much staff change, it's hard to function. it's different, you know, as a senator it's one thing. congressman, senator, i mean, you could have all these changes. when you have an executive position, like you're governor, and you have all these people quitting all the time, it's hard to get anything done, get traction, have a cohesive anything. and so that's kind of the problem i see here with ever

. >> you've been traveling with the country with ohio governor john kasich. he's a republican, you're a democrat. throughout your career, you've tried to focus on less partisan issues but what have you learned from actually traveling and appearing with a republican? >> i had dinner with john last night. and, you know, he is so much -- i'm still -- when i ran for mayor in 2003, as i said, the first election i ever did, john kasich back in 1994 became the chair of the senate -- the house budget committee. he's been there for so long and he really gives me a great perspective. and, you know, i came out of the restaurant business. in the restaurant business, when you're in the weeds, when there is a big rush, everybody's the same. it bunt matter if you're tall or short, black or white, straight or gay, you're all in it together. so by my nature, i'm less partisan than most people and governors are generally less partisan. kasich is a classic case in point that he's a republican and cares more about the country and more about his state and the partisanship and, ag

i'm joined by governor john kasich of ohio. you have been a critic of this president in many respects. what is your reaction on this arc on guns? >> chris, i think if we go back just two or three months ago, we wouldn't see any of this. so what is he doing that i think is good? because i formed a group after the las vegas deal. maybe it was even before that. gun owner, strong second amendment, no give. those who felt okay, i support the second amendment, but there is a lot of room for change. and they came up with a list of things. because i want my legislature to pass something. how does he help me? i think he wants to pass the nic system. i think he wants to improve the background check. i'm for the no loophole. let me give you another thing. >> nics is a technical change to the reporting system. >> i have counties, i have communities where somebody breaks the law, they're a violent felon, they don't report. >> right. >> so when somebody gets checked whether they buy a gun, the information is not there. >> to be clear for fol

john kasich?ll in order for it to happen, what i say in the piece is i think it is likely he will be in enough trouble if we lose the midterms badly, that is supporting the republican party which is now will indeed crumble. that is the pattern. but it is still a long shot. it is hard to primary an incumbent president. i don't know who the name is. it will be driven by what the republican primary voters are looking for. i don't think we'll see a scenario like lbj is embarrassed and mckarmgy was second and enough to get him out and trump and shame are not on the same planet. so beat him state to state and delegate to dag-- delegate and most likely scenario is an anti-trump. he is seen as incompetent, erratic, nothing gets done. the opposition could be no drama and boring and highly competent and the other access is ideology. will we revert to the old meme where one of those with credentials will be more attractive and meme will move to a more traditional republican ideology. i don't know. but i thin

john kasich has come out and said that there will be a third-party candidate.hink he fancies himself that third party candidate. >> corey: john barely won his own state. if you are a republican, what policy that this president has put in place are you opposed to? are you opposed to the economy growing, are you opposed to home ownership at all-time highs? what are you opposed to? the stock market up thousands of points, consumer confidence through the roof? is c opposed to supreme court nominee of neil gorsuch, the number of judges? >> sandra: some of the words and some of the rhetoric he used at that rally on saturday, even some republicans taking issue with the presidential nature. >> corey: if he sneezes it's a presidential sneeze, it doesn't matter what it is anymore, he is the president. the mainstream media wants to have a narrative of what should or should be president. that's not what got him elected. look at the policies this president put in place, the largest tax cut in our nations history. the reason jeff flake isn't running is because he would've lo

john kasich? >> yeah, john kasich, ben sass, great representatives for that message.r of governors out there as well. but i just think that traditional republicans, and it's not just believing in the principles of conservatism. but being conservative in demeanor and comportment as well. and not insulting people. not going to a rally and hoping to feel a broader base to win an election by making fun of the democrats. or tamping down criticism of kim jong-un, while encouraging criticism of our free press. these are things are going to make it very difficult for republicans to win in the future if we embrace that kind of message. >> you and i have talked about this before. about how during a different era in this country, during mccarthy era, which you wrote about in your book, there were a lot of republican who's thought they could straddle these words of the indecent and the decent by not taking position you feel that you have to take a position. why are so few republicans willing to criticize things are on their face, outrageous, like a tax. very personal attacks on t

serious or not from the people who i would call the decency wing of the republican party, jeff flake, john kasich would end up having where he would have to spend time dealing with a republican rather than having his eyes solely on the general election. >> and are new poll shows the trump approval rating is up four points since january. but democrats do still have the advantage in a generic 2018 ballot. so there has to be some concern about democratic energy that is fueling this 2020 talk. >> yeah, you know, president trump's job rating is at 43% in our new poll. and while that is up from where we had it back in january, that is in dangerous territory for a president so early in his tenure. and i'd argue if president trump's job approval rating was closer to 50%, we probably won't be hearing this talk about any kind of primary challenger. that said, president trump has gotten criticism from his own party in a way we haven't seen from previous presidents like obama or george w. bush because they have attacked not his policy, but the way he has conducted himself in office. >> and to be fair, new ha

[laughter] you know, con, right? and they were getting in the way of him making an effective message so i think that -- plus, it was hesitancy on the part of the campaign. and plus once trump stepped into the room, he just sucked up all the oxygen. people like ted cruz and jeb bush who in other times would have said they're viable candidates, they could be

. >>> and governor john kasich on trump's bait and switch.

he might have some competition in john kasich, who is also someone who is reportedly weighing a bid,nk there is no reason to think that jeff flake isn't serious. >> i think there are always these presidential candidates who are more media creation than anyone else. john huntsman comes to mind, jeff clark who were kind of drafted because they seemed to fit the bill and fit the moment but they don't necessarily have a constituency. he clearly doesn't have a constituency because he's not running for reelection in his own state. but i think we'll hear more from him and he'll keep this buzz going. >> even if he's more sensible and has more facts behind him, the president has the verve. >> the question is, is jeff flake right, or has the party changed so much in trump's image? he's saying, i follow the steps of goldwater and i'm not a republican? >> i grew my wife cuts my hair i'm too cheap to go to a barber. i kell earmarks in the house, score a perfect 100 on the club for growth and have 90 years are the american conservative union. and i'm the rhino. >> republican in name only, but the

. >> so -- >> john kasich stopped running in 2016. he lost one state, won everything else.gh, both states have disappeared from the party. they are shunned. they aren't talked about by party leaders. what does that tell us? this is trump's party now. but the vast majority of people have come around the establishment to accept him. could that change in 2020? yes. >> if you're trump with a 37% approval rating, don't you want trump to run? >> kasich and flake, it's a very good point. it's troublesome we're even having this conversation about reseating the sitting president. >> the question is, is there a constituency for this among primary voters? there is absolutely a constituency among strategists and you hear all kinds of mumblings about these things. is there a constituency? >>> thanks for joining us on "inside politics." wolf starts after a quick break. have a great day. world's image center, new york state is now a leader in optics, photonics and imaging. fueled by strong university partnerships, providing the world's best talent. and supported with workforce development

others like john kasich, governor of ohio, a strong manufacturing base saying this is bad for the economy, bad for jobs. it is not paying to the role innovation has played in our manufacturing base. and threatening not just financial markets but what has been described as the synchronicity of growth, economic growth around the world. that's what the president has put in jeopardy with this move. and i thought wilbur ross over the weekend suggesting this fluidity. it was a very hasty process of announcement. he is suggesting maybe the president will change his mind. this is the unpredictability that perhaps the president very deliberately wants people to be sitting with and uncomfortable with. >> is it flinching or the -- i won't say doubling down. because he has doubled or quadrupled that already. let's remind you here. this is why i'm telling you i'm doing this. even the point on mexico, is that what he is trying to use to bring national security into the mix? because we know that is supposed to be at play here based on the way he wants to do these tariffs. he has to show there is a threa

if you're john kasich or ben sasse or jeff flake looking to see if you can take on your own party's presidentoing to be pretty tricky. >> it might be more of a statement than something that's going to pan out. >>> days after his first meeting with the president of china, kim jong-un makes plans for a summit with his counterpart in south korea. -if you told me a year ago where i'd be right now... aah! ...i would have said you were crazy. but so began the year of me. i discovered the true meaning of paperless discounts... and the indescribable rush of saving drivers an average of $620. why does fear feel so good? i fell in love three times -- once with a woman, once with a country, and finally... with myself. -so, do you have anything to declare or not? -isn't that what i'm doing? >>> welcome back. the leaders of north and south korea are about to come face to face for the first time in more than a decade. the two sides have set a date in late april for a high-level summit between kim jong-un and south korean president moon jae-in. senior correspondent ivan watson is joining us live now from th

governor john kasich is on the show. that is today at 9:00 a.m. on cnn. >>> a democrat is running a close race in a special election and in a district donald trump won by 20 points. what does that mean for the mid terms coming up? >>> hollywood is rolling out the red carpet for its biggest night tonight at the oscars. time's up a and me too movements could dominate a lot of the broadcast and we will talk about that in a moment. last years' ad campaign was a success for choicehotels.com badda book. badda boom. this year, we're taking it up a notch. so in this commercial we see two travelers at a comfort inn with a glow around them, so people watching will be like, "wow, maybe i'll glow too if i book direct at choicehotels.com". who glows? just say, badda book. badda boom. nobody glows. he gets it. always the lowest price, guaranteed. book now at choicehotels.com here's the story of green mountain coffee roasters sumatra reserve. let's go to sumatra. the coffee here is amazing. because the volcanic soil is amazing. so we give farmers like win more p

having said that, look, let's be honest, governor john kasich has been running from the moment that hegive his welcome speech in cleveland, ohio. melissa: that's true. >> it is the rare republican president who escapes a, you know, about half the time they get somebody runs against them. richard nixon had somebody in the 1972 re-election campaign. obviously a little bit different circumstances but gerald ford had a primary in 1976. in 1984 president reagan avoid ad primary challenge but in 1992 george w. bush had one. 43 didn't have one in 2004. but half the time in the modern era there is something who challenged the incumbent republican president. democrats have a similar record. challenger in 1980 to jimmy carter. nobody obviously for president obama. so it is likely -- melissa: you know what the president would say to that, lead up to this election, hillary clinton only had one opponent. it was somebody who looked like he had no chance, came from out of nowhere and almost crushed her. the president had this huge field chasing him and all along the way people thought that would dama

ohio governor john kasich will pay a visit there scheduled next month.eanwhile a dozen democrats have reportedly started a hiring push, beefing up their teams for potential white house runs. they include bernie sanders, elizabeth warren and corey booker. as well as former vice president joe biden. joining me now, kayly mcnaney. sometimes when the president lands, he may say a few words. so with that in the mix, who really challenges him in 2020? does he get something from the right flank? >> i don't think so. republican voters stand resoundingly with president trump. any hope of a primary challenge is just a pipe dream. you look at president trump. this is so underreported but deserves attention. he won 13.3 million republican voters. that's more than any nominee in our party's history. this party, these voters, stand with president trump who won states republicans hadn't won since the 1980s. so any hope of a primary challenge from these two individuals is just really a pipe dream. >> harris: it's interesting. when you bring that up, you hear democrats s
