While it is not unusual for Kasich to speak introspectively while campaigning, his uncertainty over his future as a candidate came as a surprise.

The Republican governor had double-digit leads over both Democratic candidates and performed better than any other GOP contender among likely OH voters. Each state allocates delegates differently, so to understand the broad sweep of where the delegate count will end up, you have to make some rough assumptions.
Sanders is beginning a multi-state campaign trip, returning to SC just before primary voting Saturday. “But I am going to win that state, and then, we’re off to the races”. But, he said going back to the topic of deportation, “I don’t think its practical and I don’t think it reflects America”. “By that time, it may already be too late”. After picking up one delegate in Tuesday’s Nevada caucuses, he’s fourth in the pack behind frontrunner Donald Trump, and U.S. Sens. But on a rainy Tuesday night in Georgia, the man it sounded like Kasich was trying to motivate was himself.
Meanwhile, recent surveys for the upcoming OH polls show that Trump also has a chance of emerging victorious in the primaries. The little polling that has been done shows businessman Donald Trump in the lead. Cruz and Rubio each have 17. John Kasich has gotten increasingly aggressive in the past couple of months, making his stance on many issues additionally conservative and compounded.
Ohio Governor John Kasich was one of the lesser known Presidential candidate in the Republican race until recently.

No Republican has ever captured the White House without taking Ohio.
Ever since the drop in Kasich’s popularity numbers in the opinion polls people have wondered how and why the OH governor has lasted this long or even wishes to go on with a clear loss. Just 37% of OH voters said they viewed her favorably, while 57% said they saw her in an unfavorable light. Bernie Sanders by 19 points, 54-to-35 percent. Speaking at a town hall event in Virginia on February 22, 2016, Kasich made a remark that did not play off well with potential female voters. “I’m following the goal that I think has been laid out for me”. You know enough about football down here.

Republican presidential candidate John Kasich often gets spiritual on the campaign trail, but when he said Tuesday that he wasn’t sure if it was his “purpose” to be president, the contours of a winnowing field squeezed a new meaning out of his standard soul-searching. He’s still hoping to shake things up during Super Tuesday.
