Kasich’s book release and book tour thread UPDATE: Kasich on The Daily Show

[Rjjr77]

Sore loser law applies in Ohio, Kasich couldn't run as an independent there.

He's extremely popular there, I think you're wrong.

He was more popular last year there, but he legally couldn't run as an independent for the same office in Ohio that he lost a primary for. It's against the rules

Edit sorry you were talking about 2020, I was talking about 2016.

And no he wouldn't win Ohio in 2020. He's damaged himself among republicans and trump independents in Ohio, and while a lot of democrats keep his approval ratings up, they won't vote for him for president.

Trump would've been able to run independent. He would use his son's name on the ballot. Donald Jr.

His son would have then been on the ballot, not him.

Of course, but from a voter's perspective, they would've seen the same name on the ballot. Trump would have his bases covered on that issue.

And would have had to had a second campaign apparatus just for Donald JR. Including fundraising, It's all moot anyway

And would have had to had a second campaign apparatus just for Donald JR. Including fundraising, It's all moot anyway

Even in this pointless fantasy scenario that's being discussed, he could just continue his campaign as usual and people would vote for Donald Trump (Jr).

Even in this pointless fantasy scenario that's being discussed, he could just continue his campaign as usual and people would vote for Donald Trump (Jr).

Not really, he wouldn't be able to actively pay campaign staffers from his organization to advocate for a separate candidate.

In this scenario the RNC wouldn't have done all of trumps major staffing, which means trump would have had to staff his own states, as such he'd have to have had a second team advocating for DJJ in the sore loser states, or rely entirely on a superpac for that.

Either way it would make things messier

A third party could be created, and Donald Jr. and Donald would be registered as the candidates in different states. That means one national campaign.

a new third Party wouldn't have access to the ballot in Ohio. It would have to be a separate (I)

[Green Line]

I can't wait for Kasich to primary Trump and unite the #NeverTrump people.  Trump hasn't delivered.  He's finished.

Ohio seems to have very stringent requirements for third parties due to a 2013 law. Apparently, not even the Libertarians could get ballot status there, Johnson had to run as an independent. So, it seems that the SuperPac route would probably be the easiest solution.

It looks like Trump did have a superpac that was closely affiliated with his campaign early on:

Kasich's best hope is probably to go third party in a Trump vs Zuckerberg race.
