COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The Latest on the 2016 president election and two crucial contests Saturday: South Carolina's Republican primary and Nevada's Democratic caucuses (all times local):

John Kasich's presidential campaign is already claiming a victory of sorts in South Carolina.

A top strategist, John Weaver, tells reporters that however the Republican candidate does in Saturday's primary, Kasich's showing will be enough to "drive somebody else out of the race."

Weaver says he's expecting two candidates to drop out over the next week — including Jeb Bush. Weaver says that "for all practical purposes, there's no path forward" for the former Florida governor.

Kasich finished second in the New Hampshire primary, but the expectations are lower for his performance in South Carolina.

The Ohio governor hasn't ignored South Carolina, but he has focused resources on states in the Midwest and Northeast that host contests in March.

1. Will John 'LehmanBro' Kasich be the GOP pick, I hope not.

2. With Kasich's vast experience in ripping off retirees . .

with Lehman Bros. toxic paper, he will make a great
Prez for the ONE PERCENT.

Seriously, he should have no position of public trust.

4. Awful record, yet perceived by some as a moderate. A wolf in sheeps clothing, beware.

8. I'm not following the GOP race much so it could be spin, 'sort of'...

7. He didn't show up so he wins

Perhaps he can do the same in all the other states.

9. Kasich will be out soon

He doesn't have a sugar daddy and he implemented Medicaid or Obamacare in Ohio. Also his pitch of compassionate conservatism worked for GWB, but in today's GOP fear mongering, attacking minorities are the winning messages.

10. Sounds like Trump and Cruz left with Marco as VP maybe. Dog help this country.

11. Absent a real shift, Katich will still be in 5th place...not much of a win.

12. This was a premature, stupids story. Walker and Jeb down, probably Kasich

too means crazies Herr Trump and Cruzman as noted.

On appearance and style I couldn't handle these two loons, not to mention their extremist policies.
