How John Kasich could win

So Kasich goes back to his roots: what he did whilerunning for state Senate or Congress. Calling supporters. Visiting homes. And that means New Hampshire, whose population of 1.3 million is about double that of a congressional district.

“You don’t have to meet the whole country,” Kasich told me. “You build your own army. … I’ve never met anybody who I didn’t think I could get to vote for me if I could talk to them.”

For what it’s worth, Kasich also has a strategy for taking on Clinton, whom he’s leading in Ohio polls.

“I don’t believe you beat Hillary by talking about Benghazi or emails or anything like that,” said Kasich, who has repeatedly declined to criticize the former First Lady and U.S. Secretary of State. “The person that’s going to get elected is someone that can give people confidence that they can renew the American spirit.”
