IMHO, going negative on Kasich this late in the game in his home state may backfire.
Kasich unseated the sitting democrat governor in 2010, winning by just 2% with 49% of the vote. But then, as his policies went into effect and he was viewed as successful, four years later in 2014, he won by over 30 points, getting 63.8% of the vote.
I guess we shall wait and see.
Kasich used to be respectible. I was a fan of his in ‘94 and met him in the hall’s of Capitol Hill by pure chance in ‘96.
That was a thrill.
Not so much anymore...
Establishment got to him.
What you don’t understand is that in 2014 - the D that Kasich was running against was a total flop. He was caught in the back seat of a car with another woman, and that killed his campaign and vaulted Kasich to victory. It wasn’t that he was all that popular, is was that the D candidate was such a sad, pathetic, candidate. He beat Strickland because the job market was so weak here in Ohio and of course, Strickland got the blame - which he should have. However, Strickland is now running against Rob Portman for the U.S. Senate, and may very well win.
