the piece is a fearter in he wind
Cuuz has no chance and never really has had any chance in Ohio
If trump beats the well liked favorite son, that is a tremendous testimony to his appeal
He isn't well liked. The dems ran a laughably flawed candidate against him. It's more that Kasich's flaws are well-known and there's no point in electing anyone with those flaws plus some.
OH voters aren't stupid. I'd guess any support he's gaining is folks seeing an advantage in having their guy in DC.
