I do not know the guy personally and have never met him.
Are you from Ohio?
How popular is he there now?
I just know he beat the incumbent Dem governor in 2010 in a close race, and the roared back with an overwhelming victory in 2014.
Read my post - about why Kasich won so heavily in 2014 - it wasn’t that he was such a great candidate - the Dem was a sad, pathetic, creature and it was no contest.
