Input: WASHINGTON ― Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a top Republican leader and former candidate for the party’s presidential nomination, on Sunday said the GOP may be on a trajectory to lose supporters like him. 
  
 “If the party can’t be fixed, Jake, then I’m not going to be able to support the party, period,” he told Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union,” a few minutes after he noted that Americans seem more eager to hear from independent candidates than ever before. 
  
 The governor’s comment came in response to a question about how Republicans should react to Alabama politician Roy Moore securing their party’s nomination for that state’s open Senate seat. Moore is a former judge who was twice removed from Alabama’s Supreme Court for violating legal standards, and Tapper noted that he has said homosexual conduct should be illegal, questioned the birthplace of former President Barack Obama and suggested Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) should not be allowed a position in Congress because he is a practicing Muslim. 
  
 “Well, look, I don’t run the party. I can tell you for me, I don’t support that. I couldn’t vote for that. I don’t know what the heck I would have to do, but I don’t live in that state. I mean, those claims are ― I mean, they’re ludicrous and they’re divisive,” Kasich said, adding that the party needs to be “fixed” to limit the influence of far-right elements and he sees his job as trying to get that done. The governor said he hopes figures like Moore do not represent the GOP’s future. 
  
 Tapper explicitly asked if Kasich might split from the GOP if it continues being associated with figures like Moore. 
  
 “No, not at this...” the governor responded, trailing off as if to hint that a time may come when he would consider parting ways with GOP. “What I’m saying to you is, we need to fix it. If our party, if the Republican Party is going to be anti-immigration, if it’s not going to be worried about debt, if it’s going to be anti-trade, this is not where our party can be. So I’m going to fight like everything I have... it’s why I’m on these shows, because I want this party to be straightened out. But I not only want the party to be straightened out, I want the country to be straightened out. And so it’s really a battle again inside of both parties, but people are beginning to say, I don’t like either of them. And that says something big. So hopefully our party leaders will pay attention to this.” 
  
 Despite his criticisms of President Donald Trump, Kasich retains influence in the party because of his popularity in Ohio and is seen as a standard-bearer for GOP centrists distressed by Trump’s rise. He’s also cultivated an image as a uniter, in contrast to Trump’s divisiveness, reaching out to Democrats on issues like health care reform. 
  
 The governor recently ruled out rumors of his running in 2020 on a joint ticket with Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado. ||||| Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) pushed back Sunday on President Trump's tweets attacking San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, dubbing them inappropriate.

 "It's not appropriate. I mean when people are in the middle of a disaster, you don't start trying to criticize them," Kasich told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union," adding, "It's just not the way I think it ought to be handled. It's not the way we handle disasters here." 
  
 "Everything has to be directed that way. These people, their lives are in danger," he said. 
  
 Kasich's comments come after Trump attacked Cruz in a series of tweets on Saturday, accusing her of showing poor leadership during the island's recovery efforts.

 ...Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They.... — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2017 
  
 ...want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2017 
  
 Cruz had issued an emotional plea for help on Friday, in which she condemned the federal government's response to the disaster. 
  
 "I will do what I never thought I was going to do. I am begging, begging anyone who can hear us to save us from dying. If anybody out there is listening to us, we are dying, and you are killing us with the inefficiency," Cruz said. 
  
 The Trump administration is under fire for the slow movement of aid, including food, water and medicine, to Hurricane Maria's victims on Puerto Rico, which was left without power after the storm. Trump has cited the distance to the island from the mainland U.S. as one difficulty in the federal response, which he called "incredible" overall. ||||| Story highlights Kasich said he does not support former Judge Roy Moore 
  
 "I want this party to be straightened out" 
  
 Washington (CNN) Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday that a time could come when he no longer supports the Republican Party. 
  
 "If the party can't be fixed, Jake, then I'm not going to be able to support the party. Period. That's the end of it." Kasich said in an interview with anchor Jake Tapper. 
  
 Asked what that meant for his future in the GOP, Kasich said he was committed to the party and intended to win it over from the surging nationalist wing. 
  
 "I want this party to be straightened out," Kasich said. 
  
 Kasich repeatedly pointed to public dissatisfaction with the Republican and Democratic parties, and referenced the strength of independent political identities. He said both parties needed to grapple with ideological currents pulling them away from the center, adding that he had "no idea what the Democrats are for."

Output:
John Kasich revealed over the weekend he's been doing some soul-searching, but it's not his own soul he's scrutinizing. The Ohio governor chatted with Jake Tapper Sunday morning on CNN's State of the Union, and he had harsh words for both major political parties. He admitted he had "no idea what the Democrats are for," but he was even more blunt about his own party. "I want [the GOP] to be straightened out," he said, adding that "what I'm trying to do is struggle for the soul of the Republican Party the way that I see it." And the way he sees it as it stands now is infiltrated by "divisive" far-right forces that are "anti-immigration" and "anti-trade" and not terribly concerned about debt. The conversation arose after Tapper asked Kasich if he supported Judge Roy Moore, who recently won the Alabama GOP primary for Jeff Sessions' former Senate seat. Tapper pointed out Moore has railed against homosexuality, helped perpetuate birtherism lies about Barack Obama, and voiced anti-Muslim sentiments, per HuffPost." "I don't support that. I couldn't vote for that," Kasich replied, calling Moore's claims "ludicrous." "If the party can't be fixed, Jake, then I'm not going to be able to support the party, period," he said. "I'm worried about the country and my kids' future." He waffled, though, when Tapper asked him if he'd actually ditch the GOP. "No, not at this ... what I'm saying to you is, we need to fix it," he said. "I want this party to be straightened out. But I not only want the party to be straightened out, I want the country to be straightened out." Kasich also touched on Trump's Puerto Rico tweets, noting, per the Hill: "It's not appropriate. ... When people are in the middle of a disaster, you don't start trying to criticize them. ... Their lives are in danger."
