Ohio Gov. John Kasich is in, becomes 16th Republican running for president

And it will be co-sponsored by an Ohio Republican Party that has been steadfast in its support of Kasich’s national ambitions.

His critics however bring up the question that all Kasich fans are tired about; does Kasich have the discipline required to sustain and even win a long and gruelling presidential race?

Fox News has limited participation for the first major debate on August 6 – only the top 10 in the polls will get to participate in the primetime event.

The second-term Ohio governor told his life story for 45 minutes Tuesday at his alma mater, Ohio State University.

“Here’s a guy who has great experience with those issues, who will take them head-on and not let the country suffer from weak policies that place us in danger here and around the world”, he said.

The Republican governor joins fifteen other candidates hoping to capture the GOP nod. Whether intentional or not, there are benefits to being fashionably late to a presidential race. And there is one thing Kasich says will not work with Buckeye State voters: extremism. “You get your moment, but it tends to be pretty ephemeral”.

“Someone with his resume is a serious candidate”, said Paul Sracic, chairman of Youngstown State University’s Department of Political Science.

As a marching band kept up a spritely cadence before Kasich spoke, scores of demonstrators gathered across the street to protest his cuts to the budget and to school districts specifically, as well as his closing of centers for people with development disabilities.

Before Trump announced, he was polling nationally around 2 percent.

The 2016 Republican National Convention where the party’s candidate will be nominated is scheduled for next July, also in Cleveland.

Kasich eschews tele-prompters, even for State of the State addresses of more than an hour. Median USA household income increased to $55,192 in May, yet still remained $1,265 below the December 2007 mark at the beginning of the recession, according to inflation-adjusted estimates by Sentier Research in Annapolis, Maryland.

Being left out of the debates may not be a deathblow to a fledgling campaign. The others will be offered a spot in a televised afternoon forum. I’m in southern New Hampshire!

But Kasich enters the race with a number of pretty big obstacles working against him.

So Kasich goes back to his roots: what he did while running for state Senate or Congress. Calling supporters. The governor’s spokesman, Chris Schrimpf, rattled through the others in a phone call with Yahoo News on Monday.
