Has John Kasich really left the race for the presidency?
In recent days, the words and actions of the Republican Ohio governor and his political staff have made the question worth asking.
In early April, Barrons ran a cover story on Kasich, arguing that his policy prescriptions, experience, and temperament make him the GOPs best bet to reassure a nervous marketplace. The Barrons piece also pointed out that Kasich, unlike Trump and Ted Cruz, was handily beating Hillary Clinton in the polls.
A month later, on May 4, Kasich suspended his race for the GOP nomination after it became clear that Trump was on his way to winning on the first ballot. Ted Cruz, who had racked up the second-highest number of delegates, had dropped out one day earlier.
Since then, Kasich, who has refrained from endorsing Trump, has been keeping a low profile back in Ohio and giving few interviews about presidential politics. Though political observers and online betting parlors alike had once viewed Kasich as the leading choice to be any GOP nominees running mate, that possibility diminished because of the governors clear distaste for Trump.
Kasich has said that he will be in Cleveland during the week of the convention the event starts Monday, July 18 but has no plans to participate.

So you think John Kasich is able to “dump Trump” in Cleveland?
I don’t think so. Not a chance.
If so, Johnny Boy is incredibly stupid. But then again he’s a member in good standing of the GOPe: The STUPID PARTY.
do you have friends in OHIO?
have you ever lived there?
I did for 52 years..
John is popular in the media...not in the door to door people..of Ohio...He could only carry OHIO by fraud...He would not be good for the Country...too easy to buy off.
my opinion and I’m sticking to it...
