John Kasich--has no chance of winning the republican nomination; first and foremost. Democrats in Ohio wish he were the nominee or VP choice, because his selection will ensure a democratic victory in 2016. Kasich only won re-election because the democratic candidate imploded in scandal and Kasich was still scared to debate him.
Kasich not only tried to destroy unions collective bargaining rights--he went after the police and firemen--who vote republican--democrats overturned his legislation at the ballot. Kasich is anti-abortion; signed into law a bill forcing a woman to have a trans-abdominal ultra-sound before an abortion.
Kasich signed into law a budget that threatens funding to rape crisis centers who council clients about abortions. Kasich cut almost two million dollars from Planned Parenthood; Kasich has cut funding to public schools in Ohio.
Kasich used his executive action to strip collective bargaining rights from home-care providers; his record is anti-regulation of carbon-emission polluters.
He also is the poster child for voter suppression and repression--it was in Cleveland that the "Souls to the Polls" campaign" was the most successful across America--Thousands and thousands of African-Americans' flocked to the polls to vote on the Sunday before election Day in 2008 helping elect president Obama.
Kasich and the republican Secretary of State specifically tried to manipulate early voting days and hours to eliminate the Sunday before election day--as well as limit the overall early voting days and times in Ohio-- he and his Secretary of State targeted African-Americans in Cleveland and Cuyahoga county--it did not work--and no one has forgotten.
Economic improvement in Ohio is primarily because of eighteen federal small business loans from the federal government initiated by President Obama; the auto bail-out courtesy of President Obama; federal money to rebuild infrastructure in Cleveland and Ohio; and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act--all which have saved and created jobs in Ohio.
