I watched it. Trump was complaining again about how he wasn't being treated fairly during the solo portion of the Town Hall.
I find Trump a likable guy when he's not whining and spewing garbage. He seems to have a great relationship with his smart well-adjusted adult children and his wife seems alright. He's gonna kick butt in his home state of New York next week and still thinks he'll get to 1,237 earned delegates (it's possible), but he also seems to be planning now for a contested convention if he falls short.
Kasich too seems to have a nice likable family; typical teenage girls and a strong supportive wife. He's working hard to paint himself as the strong but positive leader who can save the Republican party from its own negativity and infighting. He said that the GOP needs to stop being the party telling Americans what they can't do and start focusing on what Americans can do to make the country stronger (my paraphrase).
Kasich didn't really answer Anderson Cooper's question about how he's gonna win a contested convention if he doesn't win at least 8 states, per RNC qualifying rule 40B. Kasich seems to be counting on that rule being dropped, but didn't give any details beyond that.
The Cruz family Town Hall is tonight. I'll be watching the basketball game instead, but I'm sure he has a nice supportive family too.
It's kind of interesting to see the candidates with their families, but doesn't affect my vote at all. I care a lot more about their platforms and plans for the country than their family lives.
