Gov. John Kasich of Ohio wants to bridge the divides in America.
And that's exactly what Kasich, a Republican presidential contender in the 2016 election, spoke with Business Insider about this week while on tour promoting his new book, "Two Paths: America Divided or United."
At times fiercely critical of President Donald Trump, both before and after the campaign, Kasich has positioned himself within the Republican Party as an outspoken voice on healthcare, the opioid crisis, immigration, and trade. And while he's not revealing his plans, there is certainly plenty of speculation about whether he will make another run at the presidency in 2020.
With his term up in 2018, Kasich is gearing up for life after his governorship. A former nine-term congressman, Fox News host, and Lehman Bros. banker, Kasich said he could foresee a future in politics, media, or business — or something still to be determined.
As a voice of moderation in the 2016 campaign, he was the last competitor to drop out of the race before Trump became the presumptive Republican nominee.
His book is the first signal about what could be next for the Ohio Republican.

Allan Smith: Tell me first, what was the inspiration behind writing this book?
John Kasich: Well, the things I learned on the campaign shouldn't just be dismissed, OK? I thought what I saw was sort of a — it was really something that got me so motivated to think about how did that happen and where are we going. And then I started to reflect on all of the things I've seen throughout my career, no matter what it is.

Good heavens! Why?
Mind your language, please; there are ladies present.
Pig Vomit’s political career ends in January 2019.
I cannot help myself when it comes to the GOP.
Especially ones like the one that calls itself “K-sick”.
I’m sorry to the ladies and to the mods.
But I just can’t contain my disgust, I gotta let it out or it will eat me up.
I HATE THE GOP RAWWWRRRRR!!
Ahem, sorry.
:)
Hope to see him with Benghazi Clinton autographing their books at the $3.00 book sale table in Walmart .... just to see what a “three X” signature looks like.
He didn't really carry Ohio. Ohio Dems crossed over big time in order to deny Trump a decisive victory.
Who cares what John Kasich says he’s a jerk and that is it. Too bad he didn’t have to be.
“John who?”
That’s what I say. There are some people I wish would just go away.
Clinton’s
Bush’s
Kasich
McCain
Romney
Obama’s
Lots more, could keep going but gonna stop :)
Kasich is such a demented animal he tried to school Hasidic jews on the old testament.
He belongs in a nuthouse, Trump please build a big one.
John Kasich Explaining a Story From the Torah to Yeshiva Students Is Peak John Kasich
In a fitting demonstration of his peculiarly inept and yet brashly dickish way of moving through the world, John Kasich hung out with some Orthodox Jewish yeshiva students on Tuesday and explained a story from the Torah to them. John: they know. I promise you they know.

who the heck wanted to listen to him “open up”? Does anyone really care what he has to say?
Hillary’s and Bernie’s supporters and the media think Kasich is great because he trashes Trump and conservatives. However, in the general election, none of Hillary’s or Bernie’s supporters would vote for Kasich. His support across the aisle gets him nothing. He can’t figure that out.
Cut to Bugs Bunny, “He’s a moron.”
If I recall correctly, his father was a mailman.
I wouldn’t trust Kasich with something as important as the mail.
Kasich is Bloomberg w/o the money and maybe a bit further Left.
Good points.
