Candidate Watch: Kasich
Until tonight, Kasich did not receive much attention as a presidential candidate, which he even joked about early in his “victory” speech (Kasich placed a distant second to Trump).
Kasich’s speech was a good example of how unusual his message is in this campaign; he’s really been the only candidate, left or right, to talk about political polarization, saying that all Americans are ultimately in it together. Although such bipartisanship is admirable and might play well in a general election, it may not help Kasich persuade GOP primary voters to back him.
