John Kasich tore into his own party this week as he said the Republican vow to repeal the Affordable Care Act was a big mistake.

"They told you in 2014 that they were going to repeal Obamacare. Do you realize, that's just — that's a big joke?" the governor of Ohio and third-place GOP presidential candidate said Tuesday on "The Jay Weber Show," on Wisconsin's WISN Radio.

"It got all these conservatives all stirred up and angry because they didn't keep their word. I mean, what a stupid promise…

"You've got the base of the party is furious because they didn't repeal Obamacare. How are you gonna repeal Obamacare when Obama's president?"

Kasich added that he has developed his own health care plan for the nation.
