No, actually it’s the GOPe seeing the writing on the wall for Jeb and brought Kasich in as the backup plan.
Get real.
Kasich is Democrat lite.
When Little Jebbie fails John Boy will be called on to step in. If John Boy bombs look for the next call to go to the Rube. If the Rube goes down the pickings get slim for the establishment leftist wing of the all important Party.
