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

Beck and the Bushes, Kasich, Ryan and Romney... GO TO HELL!
Kasich, keep your speech, tell everyone you’re switching parties.
I think Kasich should go back to his roots.
Go deliver mail.
Dinner
What’s next? Obscurity.
LeBron was a big Hillary supporter.
Contribute to buy him a canoe so he can spend the rest of his time on earth trolling for trout.
He should get a job at the Post Office. After all, they have to take him. He’s a legacy.
Hothead John, the Angry Midget, should run away and join the circus.
Maybe these guys can partner with Steve Schmidt. The Democrats are always looking for losers.
Poor John Kasich! Did they have to scrub the free pizza he was going to stuff in his pie hole after his lame speech!
Kasich showed piss poor judgement. He is done.
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.
I just love it when people get what they deserve.
