Almost immediately after Republican presidential candidate and potential Pink Floyd reunion organizer John Kasich professed his love for the band Linkin Park during Thursday's Republican town hall in South Carolina, the band started trending on Twitter.
Twitter users appeared to be happily shocked by the news that Kasich likes Linkin Park, in addition to alternative bands Fall Out Boy and Twenty One Pilots. Although Kasich's penchant for the band has beenwelldocumented, many Twitter users found his admission quite amusing.
@CNNPolitics@JohnKasich Potentially disqualifying. I liked him a lot before that...Linkin Park?!? WTF!!
Meanwhile, Jeb Bush said he listened to country music, while Donald Trump said he liked Michael Jackson and The Beatles.
