CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — For most Republican presidential hopefuls, the question from the audience would be a big fat softball lobbed across the plate: Clinton-bashing, sometimes explicit, sometimes implied, has become a popular pastime for many others seeking the Republican presidential nomination. [...] at a large gathering of GOP presidential hopefuls in New Hampshire last month, many took the opportunity to criticize the Democratic presidential candidate as well as President Barack Obama. Kasich's brief speech Wednesday didn't touch on foreign policy, and he barely mentioned the president's health care law, two easy targets for Republicans looking for applause.
