He was just joining the crowd in pandering. That's what all of these debates come down to...on both sides. Did anyone think that one of these six candidates would give an answer that Republicans in South Carolina didn't want to hear? And Hillary was no better the other night with her transparent pandering to the black voters in South Carolina. What she was doing was so obvious that it should have been an insult to black voters that she was so patronizing & condescending to them.
These debates are just entertainment theater, more than anything else. Bernie has been the only one out of the whole bunch who was willing to say something (regarding taxes) even though he knew there were people who would not like it....but nobody else has, except possibly Rand Paul...and look where it got him. Kasich tried here, but the heat of the campaign (and his ambition) finally won out.
ETA: May have to add Donald Trump to that list of saying things that some people may not want to hear. Seems like he is letting himself getting drawn into an area that may not help him with GOP voters in SC. Of course, he has proved everyone wrong about that kind of thing so far, so who knows. He's had a big lead there, though, so I don't really understand his strategy so far tonight.
