Ohio Gov. John Kasich on Tuesday defended his decision not to attend the Republican National Convention in his home state.
Kasich, a former Republican presidential candidate himself, has refused to endorse Donald Trump
or attend the convention. But he did speak across town in an interview with the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce on the second day of the convention in Cleveland.
"That's not where I think I need to be in terms of what I have stood for throughout the presidential campaign," Kasich said when asked why he wouldn't just "give in" and attend the nominating event.
During the campaign, Kasich pushed back against harsh rhetoric on immigration from candidates such as Trump. Kasich backed a path to legal status and pushed back on the idea of deporting the millions of people in the country illegally.
Kasich avoided directly engaging with Trump, who was officially nominated on Tuesday. But he made clear that he has a very different posture on key points.
"You have to be a party that reaches out," he said, mentioning African-Americans and Latinos.
On immigration, he said, "It just seems like it’s a natural thing to do to be welcoming."
Trump’s and Kasich's staff have engaged in a fiercer back and forth this week.
Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, speaking at a Bloomberg breakfast Monday, said the governor is "embarrassing his party in Ohio" by not endorsing Trump.
Kasich strategist John Weaver shot back to Bloomberg on the possibility of Kasich serving as Trump's vice president: "A hologram of Abraham Lincoln could have come back and asked him and he would have said 'no.'''
But Kasich kept his remarks more positive on Tuesday.
He said that after the election, "We’re going to have to sit down and we’re going to have to think about what our party is going to mean to people in the 21st century."
Newt Gingrich nailed John Kasich yesterday on Sean Hannity’s radio show: “He’s part of the Crybaby Caucus.”
When I was in grammar school in the 50’s, we had a dunce stool for people like Kasich...
Funny, I didn’t miss him. Did anybody else?
Kasich wants to welcome illegal immigrants but refuses to welcome Trump to the Republican party....go figure.
He had 2 big macs, a pizza, and a subway foot long to eat. He;’s a busy man.

I was driving back home yesterday to NY State from Indianapolis, and passed through Ohio. I was listening to one of the talk shows that was on. Don’t know the host’s name, but he was airing from Ohio. He wasn’t too pleased with Kasich not attending the convention. Said Kasich was planning to meet with delegates but skip the convention. Kasich spoke to the NAACP convention, but couldn’t bother with his own party’s convention.

Are we prepared for the mass suicides and depression? If Kasick in not going then neither am I. But I didn’t plan on going anyway. Some people think they are significant when they are not. Some can be downright delusional.
That is a great point and shows what a small man Kasich is!
That sorry scum sucking son of a bitch. It is our turn now you piece of fecal discharge. Get ready for political termination.
Like Cruz, this weasel scumbag PROMISED to support the
Peoples’ nominee, and instead joined Team Romney-Soros
to backstab America.
America must cantor the stinking Kasich and Cruz
and send them back to their whorehouse to copulate
with their RATS dressed as judges.
Meanwhile, I checked the recent county jail incarcerations today for Boehner’s old district. His main county, 39 out of 200 for 19.5% being held for ICE. I’ve seen it as much as 28% and this is a republican county. FU Kasich.
Kasich = douche.
Sore loser-another his way or the highway type. He would be a good running no mate for hill-liar.
Kasich is a liberal socialist republican. My wish is he take all the Bushes to the DNC and leave
Kasich is pretty silly. Trump did more for legal immigration than Kasich ever. Trump married two beautiful immigrants. ; )
Did Kasich sign a pledge to support the nominee, or did he not?
I think his father just have a mailman, you are right.
very glad to see Hong Kong Phooey is not showing up. He won’t have any excuses when he is kicked to the curb.
