As much as I didn’t like him as a presidential candidate, Kasich makes a lot of sense. He’s very strong in Ohio, a state we have to win, he’s very moderate and dull, qualities that balance Trump in the minds of party moderates. He’s very strong on budget issues and, honestly, he’s “out of the way” of practically every major issue except to break ties in the Senate. Plus, the media has spent 9 months singing his praises so they absolutely can’t full-blown attack him the way they did Palin.
Plus, if he makes the deal at a time when Kasich delegates have to get on board, it will strengthen Trump’s hand at the convention.
The question would be whether the two can stand each other.
I live and vote in Ohio. I am solidly behind Trump. If Kasich were on the ticket, I would be forced to hold my nose a bit.
I had to hold my nose in both 2008 and 2012. I don't want to have to do that in 2016!
