Republican presidential candidate and Ohio Governor John Kasich speaks with the crowd at Toledo’s SeaGate Convention Centre this evening.

“I’m going to win OH, because you’re all going to help me and we’re not going to let this go backwards”, Kasich said, after a voter questioned during the town hall how he would “trump” Donald Trump.
“I want John Kasich to be the next nominee of the Republicans and also to be the next president of the United States”, Schwarzenegger says in an apparent selfie video. And let me just tell you this: “I will win Ohio”, Kasich said at the Fox News debate in February.
Kasich, who has now amassed 35 delegates, is banking on two quickly approaching dates: March 8, when MI and other states will collectively distribute 150 GOP delegates, and March 15, when OH and Florida have winner-take-all contests and in all, 367 delegates are at stake. Kasich’s jump could be in part because Murray said the OH governor is sticking to his strategy heading into an industrial state like his own.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has events in Idaho – rallies in Idaho Falls and Boise – ahead of the state’s primary on Tuesday.
After a week where he was bombarded with negative advertising, attacked by former nominee Mitt Romney and roundly criticised for his penis-size remark, Trump’s success in today’s primaries were far from assured.
Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders face off in MI and Mississippi.
He says with low taxes for corporations so they stay in America and as governor of OH, he’s taken an even more drastic step when it comes to tax relief.
Kasich is making the rounds in metro Detroit in a last-minute push for votes and Monday night met with Oakland County Republicans.
Schwarzenegger wore a Kasich campaign jacket, while the presidential candidate put on a jacket with “Made especially for John Kasich Governator II” on it that the actor gave him.
Matt Buche, 56, said he was planning to vote for Kasich later Tuesday because he’s “the only moderate in the race”. “But now they’re going to spend more time thinking about how we pick a president”. Both men badly trail Donald Trump, the real estate tycoon and Republican front-runner, but each believe they can ultimately dethrone him in the months to come.

“I’ve tried to run a positive campaign”, Kasich said. A three way race with Cruz as candidate of the evangelicals, Kasich as candidate of the Rust Belt and Trump as candidate of the GOP’s lunatic core would ensure that no one gets the 1,237 delegates needed to win on the first ballot.
