John Kasich’s Wife Just Revealed The REAL Reason He’s In The Race
Ohio Gov. John Kasich has been saying all along that he’s running simply because he believes he’s a viable candidate, and that he’s not running to prevent someone — namely front-runner Donald Trump — from getting the GOP nomination.
Unfortunately, his wife didn’t get the memo. That’s why she sent off this fundraising email obtained by WND that showed exactly what Kasich’s intentions are.
“Friend, I’m going to be honest with you,” the Ohio governor’s wife, Karen, wrote in a Wednesday email. “The stakes are high and it’s critical that we all pitch in to help John continue securing delegates and deny Trump the nomination.”
Whoops.
And yet, she continued to say that even though he’s been mathematically eliminated and is running against Trump only to make sure he doesn’t secure the 1,237 delegates necessary for the nomination, her husband is running a positive campaign.
“I’m so proud of the positive campaign John has run,” Karen Kasich wrote. “It’s refreshing to have a candidate who’s focused on offering common-sense solutions to our challenges rather than taking advantage of people’s fears and very real concerns about America’s future.
“We have a choice to make. As John said yesterday, there are two paths we can take. I’m choosing the path that offers a positive vision for America’s future,” she added. “Will you join us?”
To paraphrase Dennis Miller, rocks that big are usually only seen rolling behind Indiana Jones.

By the way, what Karen Kasich said directly contradicted what her husband has said on the campaign trail.

“I want to make something clear to people,” Kasich told Fox News’ Chris Wallace in March. “I’m not in this to try to stop somebody. I’m in this to tell people about my experience, my record, my vision, and my ability to bring people together and to be a successful president of the United States.”
Perhaps you should have let your wife in on that one, John. It may have saved you a bit of embarrassment.
