My opinion is the days of needing a geographical candidate to balance a ticket is long gone. Kasich isn’t even poling well in his home state against Trump, something like 5%. He is not needed at all.

Agreed. Obama didn't need Biden to carry Delaware. Bush didn't need Cheney to carry Wyoming. Bush the Elder didn't need Quayle to carry Indiana, and Reagan didn't need Bush the Elder to carry Texas. Clinton probably benefited from Gore Jr. in Tennessee and the South in general, so that might be an exception.
