Ohio Gov. John Kasich is plotting his third run for president, a year after he outlasted a crowded Republican field of contenders challenging Donald Trump for the nomination, New York magazine reported.
Kasich, who’s term in Ohio ends in 2018, has kept a skeletal campaign staff from last year’s race and they’re helping him decide whether he should pursue a primary run as a Republican or as an Independent in the general election in 2020, the magazine said.
He denied he’s “plotting” a run, saying “that’s just not where my head is right now” during an interview Sunday on “Fox News Sunday.”
But he told the magazine the Republican Party needs to update its platform.
“I think we need to be pro-environment,” he told New York for this week’s edition. “I think we need to completely redo education. … Look, I loved Ronald Reagan. I met Ronald Reagan. But Reagan was then. Now we gotta move on.”
A persistent critic of the president’s coarse tone, Kasich told the publication that Trump’s election and the failure of Republican leaders to publicly condemn his actions is a “momentary lapse of reason.”
He said he would represent a different viewpoint, insisting he wants to restore “basic principles of caring, of love, of compassion, of connectedness.”
“There has to be a fundamental change, in my opinion, with all of us. I’m willing to be part of that. I want my voice to be out there. I want it very, very much,” he said.
But criticizing the commander in chief is one thing, launching a Republican challenge to a sitting president is another.

He didn’t outlast anything. He just refused to admit defeat.
Irrelevant.
That is like saying that Madison was then so we don't have to listen to him anymore.
Kasich is seeking the Harold Stassen award for most runs for the GOP presidential nomination.
Nobody liked him the last two times, why does he think another one will yield different results?
He will surely win!!!-—For dog catcher. What a promising representative, poisoned by the foul DC water. Go away you silly fool.
He thinks that if Clinton can try 3 times, so can he.
He ought to run as a Democrat.
Kasick is probably that much of an idiot.
Even Democrats can’t stand him.
Damn it - he’s gonna hit 5% this time!
The irony is that he’s actually been an effective governor, by all accounts.
“Irrelevant”
More like weirdo.
Hey maybe this time he can garnish 2 percent of the vote..it will be a step up for him
Of course he is, I’m getting junk mail from him every week - no clue how I got on the mailing list in the first place.
That is the best response to anything kasick.
Hopefully. The Best thing to get out the MAGA vote is a primary season.
Insanity
He denied he’s “plotting” a run, saying “that’s just not where my head is right now” during an interview Sunday on “Fox News Sunday.”
-
That’s because his head’s up his ass, as usual.
What a classless, clueless loser this jerk is.
