As Election Day turned to Election Night, two of Ohio's top Republicans sat on big plans largely contingent upon Donald Trump going down in flames.

Gov. John Kasich, who fell short in his own bid for the GOP presidential nomination, was preparing a Thursday speech in Washington, where he would outline his Trump-free vision for his party and country. It would be an early first step toward another run in 2020.

Matt Borges, the Ohio Republican Party chief and a Kasich ally, was angling to be the next Republican National Committee chairman. He would build his case on his success in a key battleground and on his ability

We all know Kasich. This is the other CLOWN who opposed the people's choice, Donald J Trump:

Matt Borges, chairman of the RINOs in Ohio. Time for him to resign.

More from the article:

... Trump's unanticipated national victory crushed their plans....In refusing to support Trump, despite initially pledging to back his party's eventual nominee, he aimed to protect his brand from any damage a Trump loss might inflict on the GOP. The goal was to emerge from this election as one of the nation's most likable Republicans and quickly assert himself as a party healer.

Instead, after Trump triumphed, plans for the Thursday speech were quickly scrubbed.

"I think the notion that he was going to somehow use that speech to announce that he was running for 2020 or lay out a vision for 2020 was overblown," Borges said Wednesday in an interview with cleveland.com. "There are certainly things he was going to say that aren't necessary to the conversation now. But that doesn't mean they won't be in the future."

I think Kasich should go back to his roots.

Go deliver mail.

The governor is scheduled to join President Barack Obama at a ceremony to honor the NBA champion Cleveland Cavaliers.

LeBron was a big Hillary supporter.

He should get a job at the Post Office. After all, they have to take him. He’s a legacy.

Maybe these guys can partner with Steve Schmidt. The Democrats are always looking for losers.

I’m hoping Kasich drowns himself in the Ohio River. I’ll even give him a ride all the way down there from Columbus ... a piggyback ride, if necessary.
