I'm not like, pandering here, this is the way I roll.”Kasich spoke to a packed house at the Exeter Inn. He said he’s been able to create a $2 billion budget surplus and 385,000 new jobs while serving as governor of Ohio.“The Republican party is my vehicle, not my master,” Kasich said.Like most GOP hopefuls, Kasich wants to cut funding to Planned Parenthood. He defunded the group in Ohio in 2013.“It's not just women's health centers but it's hospitals, legitimate hospitals, you know, these kinds of entities that women can go to to get what they need,” Kasich said. “I mean, there's no way we can take that money away and not have money for women's health. Are you kidding me?”Fiorina visited LaBelle Winery, where she spoke with voters while sipping fine wine.During her speech, the former Hewlett-Packard CEO took a firm line against the Islamic state and Iran.“Until you open every military and every nuclear facility to real anytime, anywhere inspections by our people, not yours, we, the United States of America, will make it as difficult as possible for you to move money. We must stop the money flow,” Fiorina said.Rubio, a Florida senator, hosted a town hall meeting in Concord and stressed the importance of electing a conservative to the White House who will reform health care for veterans.“A year and a half ago, I passed a law, and the president signed this law, that said you can fire any senior executive at the VA who isn't doing a good job,” Rubio said. “Let me just tell you, you are likelier to win the Powerball than you are to be fired from the VA.”
