I might have voted Kasich. None of the other jokers.
I've been saying all along that I'm going to leave the Presidential portion of my ballot blank rather than vote for either Hillary or Trump. I would ONLY vote for Hillary if there was even a slight chance that Trump would win my state (there's not, and that's becoming more and more assured as each day passes).
But in a Facebook discussion last week, somebody called me out on that and made a good point. If I don't vote for anybody for President, then I should not have the right to complain for the next four years if I don't like whoever is elected (i.e., Hillary). And after thinking about that, it's a fair point.
So now I'm strongly considering casting a write-in vote for the ONLY candidate that interested me during this past primary season. And that would be John Kasich.
Mine might be the only vote he gets in my town, in my state, or even in the entire country for all I know. But it would be a vote for President, and one that I could make in good conscience. Really, the only one I could make in good conscience.
