John Kasich pretty much called the Election for Clinton...

Can Trump win Ohio?

As for Trump winning the Buckeye State, Kasich isn't as optimistic, saying he believes the nominee will do well in the state
but not well enough to carry it.

"He's going to win parts of Ohio where people are really hurting and where people of both parties have failed to fix our education system," he said. "But I still think it's difficult if you are dividing to be able to win in Ohio. I think it's really, really difficult."

A popular governor actively working against his parties nominee?

Without the state machine how can he win a close race?

I don't think he can win Ohio but we are working hard to make sure that does not happen here in Trumbull County.
