What does Kasich think he's doing?

[Averroës Nix]

Kasich is arguably the only Republican who's running a worse primary campaign than Jeb. I don't think he'd win the nomination if he were the only candidate on the ballot.

The worst bit is that he's not even running a good "screw it, I'm calling out the crazies campaign"! He's consistently unwilling to confront Cruz, Trump, Fiorina, Carson, etc. in both direct and specific terms. He seems to prefer yelling, waving, and making (usually) extreme vague complaints that mostly amount to tone policing rather than anything more substantive.
