I would assume the Lehman bros thing, but it wouldn't really be a good attack, because that's just inviting Kasich to attack her on the Wall Street stuff. So wouldn't she just have to resort to the generic R attacks, like social issues (gay marriage and abortion)?

"Told girls not to go to parties with alcohol if they don't want to get raped."
"Half of Ohio's women's health clinics have closed under Kasich."
"Disenfranchised hundreds of thousands with undemocratic voter ID laws."
"Still doesn't support marriage equality."

"Moderate Republican? I don't think so."


Say what you will about each of these points, but I think they'd be pretty effective at creating an overall narrative.

When Hillary attacks Kasich on Lehman Brothers, he has plenty of previous attacks on the wealthy to show. I don't know. Maybe some misquoted attack ads?

The Democrats nominated Ed FitzGerald, essentially a dream moderate candidate. He would have beaten most people, but Kasich crushed him. Winning 26% of blacks is impressive anywhere, especially Ohio. I don't think he can easily be beat, as experienced a veteran he is. He's won in nine congressional disticts, one State Senator's election, and two statewide elections in Ohio. Hillary has won two statewide elections in NEW YORK.

His record.

So far John Kasich has been able to seem less objectionable than Donald Trump and Ted Cruz by not shooting off his mouth. He can't remain silent indefinitely on the polarizing issues that almost every Republican has.

So far John Kasich has been able to seem less objectionable than Donald Drumpf and Ted Cruz by not shooting off his mouth. He can't remain silent indefinitely on the polarizing issues that almost every Republican has. 

He HAS sounded off on them. The difference is that he's made his views explicitly his own and more palatable.
