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.

Donald if you don’t change your delivery you’re going to lose. I’ve been on the Trump train since Day 1 but you disgusted me today. Somebody near this guy has to tell him to stop talking about himself, his polls, his anything!!!!!
It’s like he can’t help himself.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
......let me remind you that millions of people that never voted Republican, and I want to emphasize MILLIONS.................disagree with you. They saw what you opine about and voted for the man anyway.
A “polished” more presidential (perhaps) candidate might be Jeb Bush, or John Kasich or Mike Huckabee but nobody voted for them (s/).
I listened to the same speech this morning your talking about and instead of reacting your way I just laughed about it. I think most people are deciding to do that as well. Trump is going to be Trump no matter what but all that counts is that Hillary doesn’t get to appoint judges!
Kasich is a vile POS.
Kasich is an idiot. Has always been.
“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”
Perhaps if you were at the RNC you would have actually heard Trump’s speech on doing just that instead of getting the leftist media narrative.
sh**head.
“Hillary will take NY.”
That’s why she’s spending millions in ads here.
Trump will keep that money vacuum running.
FUJK
“.....People in Ohio want to see a positive agenda, a positive way to move forward,”
YES, exactly what Hillary! will give them, John. All those coal miners in S. Ohio just can’t wait to vote for your gal.
Go stuff your face, Kasich. Oh, wait... you’re alreadly stuffing your face.
Why not Ohio?
Does he think people in Ohio are stupid?
There are questions about the machines.
Kasich’s ground crew quit when Trump won the primaries. Over 95%.
He’s even a bigger loser than Ted Cruz!
Good bye, Kasich, you, too, cooked your own goose by not endorsing Trump and attending the RNC convention.
That door may just hit you on your way out.
“Trump probably can’t win Ohio, says state’s governor, John Kasich”
Kasich is probably right, which means there’s no need for Hillary to campaign there.
[BTW, i can’t wait to see President Trump cut the traitors off at the knees and send them packing.]
"What a maroon!"
Kasich’s bachelor life as a congressman came to the attention of Time magazine, which in its October 14, 1996, broached the subject of Kasich’s homosexuality a year before the Ohio Republican married his current wife. In an article titled “The Baiting Game,” Karen Tumulty wrote, “For almost 14 years it had passed without comment that the local Congressman, John Kasich, the powerful chairman of the House Budget Committee, stretches his paycheck by sharing a Virginia town house for the two or three nights a week that Congress is in session. His housemate? His male chief of staff. Last month Cynthia Ruccia, Kasich’s Democratic challenger, called for a Justice Department investigation of what she said was ‘a serious appearance of impropriety’ because Kasich, who is divorced, lived with someone whose government salary he controls.”
The male chief of staff was Don Thibaut. Kasich and Thibaut were best friends while Kasich served in the Ohio Senate from 1979 to 1982. Thibaut followed Kasich to Washington and Kasich named Thibaut, who was single, his chief of staff. Although they maintained separate residences in the Columbus area, the two shared a townhouse in Virginia. The Advocate, a gay-oriented magazine reported in its November 12, 1996, issue that Thibaut received an annual salary of $108,000, considered unusually high for a chief of staff.
Kasich had been resisting 0bama’s agenda. 0bama called him to DC for golf. Once Kasich went home, everything changed.
Hecky durn. He’s always seemed a bit queer.
I'm just guessing that there might be more than Principle here on Kasich part. I Think, Kasich is staying with the establishment RINO's so he can use their money train to challenge for Sherrod Nimrod Browns senate seat in the state next time around.<,p>
It's just a theory....but it still doesn't change what a disappointment he is.
Kasich was so insignificant in the primaries and made such a pathetic showing that I don’t think Trump even bothered to give him a nickname. But if he had done so, I wonder what the nickname would have been?
” Doesn’t surprise me at all if these people are turn coats...get ready for it...”
