Former Ohio governor John Kasich has been the most prominent and consistent Republican critic of Donald Trump, but he’s shying away from the necessary (and patriotic) mission of a lifetime–challenging Trump for the 2020 GOP nomination. He’s told his top political staff to stop planning for a run and has said publicly that he “sees no path for me in 2020.”
I know him and his top staff and have been urging him in print and in emails to run for two years now. So earlier this week I sent him this email, which I’m sharing with the world because I got no reply.
