Kasich being the Governor of the RNC host state, do you think it's ok for him to bow out of attending the convention like he did?
In addition to Kasich heading up the host state, Governor Huckabee has been keen to point out that Kasich did in fact sign the pledge to support the eventual nominee, whoever that turned out to be. Folks made such a big deal about getting all the candidates to sign that thing, if they aren't going to honor their word, then why bother? I understand Kasich's not being comfortable with Donald Trump, and I fully supported Kasich's candidacy, but I have to say I'm more than a little disappointed with the way he's handling Trump's nomination.
He wouldn't have gotten a speaking slot unless he endorsed Trump beforehand. That would be humiliating and wrong for the home state governor who also happens to be the third place finisher in the primaries.
