Trump Touts ‘Tremendous Win’ While Kasich Looks for ‘Whole New Ball Game’

Republican front-runner Donald Trump touted his victories yesterday in Michigan and Mississippi on "Good Morning America" this morning.

"I think the big thing is [voters] are seeing a lot of fight," he told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, adding that his double-digit victory in Michigan was a "monster win."

But confronted with lackluster favorability ratings in a general election match-up, Trump said he would change his style after the primaries.

"I think they’re going to see a very different person when this is all over with," he said. "I was hit very hard by Marco, and I had to hit him back harder."

Ohio Gov. John Kasich, also on "Good Morning America" this morning, said he was happy with his finish in Michigan, placing third behind Sen. Ted Cruz with roughly 24 percent of the vote.

"We’re going to win in Ohio," he said. "That’s going to be a whole new ball game."

Kasich, who has yet to win a state, won more than four in 10 late-deciding voters in Michigan.

"For the first time, people are starting to hear what I have to say," he said. "We’ll competing all across the Midwest. We’re still standing."

Republicans in Ohio and Florida will cast their votes for the candidates next Tuesday. But a CNN/ORC poll released Wednesday morning shows Donald Trump maintaining a slight lead over Kasich in Ohio and a substantial lead over Rubio in Florida.
