Kasich Is Considering Another Presidential Run In 2020

There is never a dull moment in American politics.

Another Run For Office?

Ohio Governor John Kasich is apparently considering another run for the White House…but with a twist. According to CNN, Kasich may team up with Colorado Democrat John Hickenlooper and collaboratively run on an Independent ticket. A anonymous source provided the following statement:

“The idea of a joint ticket has been discussed, but not at an organizational or planning level. What they are trying to show the country is that honorable people can disagree, but you can still problem solve together. It happens in businesses and it happens in families. Why can’t it happen in Washington?”

Why Kasich Will Lose

In theory, the aforementioned statements sound lovely. Working together, running for office on a bipartisan ticket all sounds great in theory, but in reality, it will not work. First of all, running on a third party ticket is essentially setting oneself up for failure. There is not a single third party in America with the funding and backing of Republicans and Democrats. This may not be fair, but this is the reality in modern day politics.
