Ohio Governor John Kasich (newsmax.com)
Faithful readers will recall that I went out on a limb for Ohio Governor John Kasich on May 30, in my post, “Kasich for president in 2016.” His success in Ohio, coupled with his experience in the U.S. House, where he was credited with balancing the budget, was persuasive. And we all know the importance of winning Ohio in the general election.
Later, on Sept. 22, I wrote that unless he does something to catch on nationally as he had in New Hampshire at the time, I would be adding him to my list of candidates who should bow out. Not only did that not happen, but his support has waned in New Hampshire.
I understand that CNBC will narrow the number of candidates qualifying for their televised debate from Colorado on Oct. 28, to just six. Sadly, if Kasich doesn’t make the cut, and it appears now that he will not, he should bow out.
