WaExam: John Kasich launched his first television ad of the campaign season Sunday.
With a hard folk rock background, a narrator describes Kasich’s early challenges: “He lived a hardscrabble life in a rusty steel town. … When he lost his parents to a drunk driver, he had the faith to carry on.”
The spot, entitled, “America: Never Give Up,” will air in New Hampshire and on Boston stations that reach the Granite State.
The ad buy represents a contrast in strategy with Kasich’s establishment rival Jeb Bush, who has pulled ads in some states, and openly questioned the effectiveness of on air advertising “Fox News Sunday.” MORE
I am saddened for him that he lost his parents to a drunk driver. That’s tragic. But I vote for the guy based on that? “Let’s exploit my dead parents for political gain.” What a sack of ?.
I thought Kasich pulled the plug on his campaign…
No kidding. I hate pandering to a victim mentality. We all have our crosses to bear, and losing a loved one in a tragic event is terrible, but it says nothing to me about someone’s ability to deal with issues of national sovereignty, jobs, a health insurance situation that is so incredibly screwed-up the only ones getting anything out of it are the insurance companies, the infiltration of our federal gov’t by islam and the muslim brotherhood, runaway illegal immigration, doubling of people on welfare, etc., etc. etc.
Why is kasich still in this race? Why?
Wow. RINOs campaignin’ like it’s 1992. *snore…zzzzzzz*
Hey Kasich we all have problems in our lives. And you fucking politicians just seem to add to them. Take a hike and take Jeb and Krispy Cream with you.
What did Jeb come out with? A Taco Bell commercial?
Did not know Kasick was running.
Trump is the only name I hear
What, no mention of the old man having been a mailman?
kasich couldn’t even fill biden’s shoes…. and that is sad.
Don’t need another progressive socialist from Ohio with the name of John.

Kasich would get more attention if he ran the old “Where’s the beef” commercials.
