A "divider" like GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump will have a hard time winning Ohio, an important battleground that could help decide the election in November, said Buckeye State Gov. John Kasich, a former Republican presidential candidate.
"Ohio's a snapshot of the country. People in Ohio want to see a positive agenda, a positive way to move forward," Kasich said Friday in an interview at the Union League of Philadelphia. He attended a fund-raiser for Brian Fitzpatrick, a Bucks County Republican running for an open congressional seat.
Kasich's remarks came a day after Trump accepted the Republican Party's nomination at its convention in Cleveland. Kasich, who dropped out of the presidential primary campaign in May after Trump effectively clinched the nomination, did not attend the convention.
"Without an endorsement, I thought it would be inappropriate for me to go in there and make some kind of a talk," Kasich said.

“Don’t look for a future in the Republican party, Mr. Kasich.”
He’ll be 66 when he leaves office and can’t run again. My guess is he’s done with politics altogether when his term is over.
Agree since Kaine is the VP for the Beast. Trump WILL take MI.
OHIO PING!!
Good news! Possibly Trump rallies coming to Ohio!
Let me know if you want on or off the ping list.
Hell—Kasich couldn’t break 50% in Ohio during the primary, and he’s the governor there.
Actually I believe you’re a billionaire who defeated sixteen professionals pols to win the GOP nomination, I really do.
S/
Trump can win Ohio.
Yeah, and he’ll never get the nomination.
LOL
Kasich is no republican and not much as an American or a person.
- Kasich voted for the “Assault” Weapons Ban. https://grabien.com/file.php?id=53463 and as of last year did not regret that vote
- Kasich supported and implemented Obamacare’s Medicare expansion http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/john-kasich-bible-medicaid_us_56140a54e4b022a4ce5fb1e3
- Kasich supports Amnesty for illegals. http://www.ontheissues.org/John_Kasich.htm
- Kasich dismissively said Christian bakers should “bake the cupcake” and participate in a gay parody of the sacrament of marriage, even if it violates their religious beliefs. https://www.frcaction.org/updatearticle/20160225/kasich-pushes
- Kasich supports Obama’s nominee for the Supreme Court. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-kasich-id-consider-nominating-merrick-garland-supreme-court-election-2016/
Of course he wants Hillary to win.
Kasich is the sound my toilet makes when it burps up the draino.
FU KASICH!!!
Where are your values? sign a pledge and renig.???
Why would a so called anti-Hillary Republican say that in front of cameras?
Well f*** you very much, Johnny.
So what are you going to do then, bright boy, to help him win Ohio? Or are you going to take the Ted Cruz approach?
Good lord I wish I could donate my paycheck to charity for one good punch on John Kasich.
Kasich has a real butthurt going on. He’s irredeemable.
And, yes, Trump CAN win Ohio. The only reason Kasich won Ohio is because he’s the governor, but it was thought to be the easiest way to block Cruz. It succeeded, but it also unleashed another side of Kasich others hadn’t yet absorbed...stubborn egocentrist.
Trump can win Ohio on middle class votes. My mostly union extended family is solidly supporting Trump.
Kasich embarrasses me as a former Ohioan. What a fricking drama queen.
We absolutely NEED to keep Hillary out of the White House if we are to have a country left.
As a once and former Cruz supporter (with lots and lots of posts right here on FR), and as a once and former admirer of Kasich (until he clarified his amnesty goals) I can say that I will never again support either, and I suspect that there are thousands (if not millions) who feel precisely the same way.
Cruz and Kasich are now blocking for Hillary thinking that they will have a chance down the road.
Nupe, both their names are so thoroughly scorned within the GOP base ranks, that they are demoted to Special Arlen Specter Status, and there is no coming back from such negatives.
Mister Christie (the hugger) knows exactly what I'm writing about.
.
Prediction: He’ll win by more than 5%.
