John Kasich: Boy those debate moderators did a great job, eh?

John Kasich has been struggling to keep himself above 2% in the polls ever since he launched his campaign. Despite his presence in the "big kids debates," he's never really been a top-tier candidate and I'd be willing to bet the average person on the street has no idea he's actually running for President. Given that fact, he went into the last GOP showdown with one goal: Get noticed at all cost.

To accomplish this, he decided he'd go on a series of long, laborious, tirades against Ben Carson and Donald Trump. Luckily for him, CNBC provided viewers with history’s worst panel of moderators. They were more than happy to let Kasich rant and rave as much as he wanted. Just about every candidate, reporter, pundit, and political observer has since decried the CNBC train wreck, but Kasich has decided to go the other way. He was a big fan of the debate moderators, and he wants you to know it: As I said above, Kasich is languishing in the polls. According to the RealClearPolitics average he's currently trailing Trump, Carson, Rubio, Cruz, Bush, Fiorina, Paul, and Huckabee. Yet look at the speaking time allotted by CNBC's team of crack reporters: So, all you have to do to keep Kasich happy is let him prattle on about how much he hates everyone else on the stage. Give him waaaay too much time, and he's your best pal!
