Both candidates could of course boost their enthusiasm by trying to get more voters to like them.

But with two other candidates occupying the same pragmatic, gubernatorial lane in the race, observers had predicted for months that of Kasich, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie, only one could emerge from New Hampshire and continue his campaign. The governor, who is well-liked in his home state and often seemed like a voice of reason in a chaotic Republican primary, has been floated as a potential vice presidential pick.
Users stressed that numerous polls have shown Sanders would beat Trump with a higher margin than Clinton, who could potentially lose to Trump. Kasich spent most of his address describing his personal experience on the campaign trail. “And there are going to be people who are going to criticize me for that”.
“Reporters keep asking if IN changes anything for me”. We all remember that hug in SC from that young man who had found despair and then found hope somehow, and he just wanted to give me a hug, and the country marveled.
His policy positions leaned toward the middle: for one thing, Kasich had defied his own party and expanded Medicaid, the federal health-care program for the poor, in Ohio.
“The comments from Trump, on the verge of winning in IN, heighten the differences between Governor Kasich and his positive, inclusive approach and the disrespectful ramblings from Donald Trump”.
The race for the White House is now clear: It’s Trump versus Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee who is certain to secure her party’s nomination despite primary defeats.
In a surprise upset, however, Bernie Sanders won the primary in IN on Tuesday by more than 5 percent, “throwing a wrench” in Clinton’s strategy, as Yahoo News put it.
In the final weeks of their campaigns, Kasich and Cruz entered into an informal alliance. A gaggle of reporters arrived, only to hear that Kasich opted to cancel the press event in lieu of a press conference in Columbus.
John Kasich will suspend his campaign for president, according to multiple campaign officials.

Also being discussed in political circles is Trump’s choice for a potential running mate. “I’m with her”, Salter (@MarkSalter55) tweeted, referring to a common rallying cry among Clinton supporters. “I would be interested in vetting John”.
