It’s easy to give John Kasich grief for his “hug it out” approach to politics, but it’s hard to deny that this is quite powerful:

Wow, indeed.
@DrewMTips I don't even like Kasich but that was touching.

Um. Did not expect to cry watching a @JohnKasich video. https://t.co/JWmxA7eJRT

Yep. I cried. Now I get Kasich's appeal. People are scared. For lots of reasons. https://t.co/xbtloUSS6m

The Kasich moment was amazing because you can't fake that kind of genuine sympathy and support. It was so honest.

A beautiful moment and a brave young person. And politics aside, Kasich is clearly a very decent man. #SCPrimary https://t.co/pq1dGE9EFZ

I will say this about Kasich. He is a very decent man. The GOP is lucky to have him. https://t.co/VFNph99mAL

That hug @JohnKasich gave to that young voter was a very moving moment. That kid had a touching story. Props to Kasich.

If a hug from John Kasich can help get you through your darkest hour, God bless both you and the governor. pic.twitter.com/tRva1CKCoN

@ShaneGoldmacher @KatyTurNBC Stunning moment on a day when "ugly" is skin deep in politics.

Parting food for thought:
I'm glad things are better for this kid but it scares me when people put this kind of trust & faith in a politician. https://t.co/Z8jvpQCC6u

Update:
That guy Kasich hugged? He's the U of Georgia campus coordinator for Kasich's SuperPAC, @elianayjohnson reports. https://t.co/4nk1ggAQKa
