Kasich Says Bush Is Getting Nervous

October 2, 2015 at 5:03 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard 24 Comments

Gov. John Kasich mocked allies of Jeb Bush after reports that a pro-Bush super-PAC has started researching at his congressional library collection, The Hill reports.

Said Kasich: “I would think they are in there because they are getting nervous.”

He added: “When you are trailing in places like New Hampshire, where John Sununu has built a great team, and not doing so hot in other places, of course they are going to go looking around at who might be the mature adult who knows how to reform and fix things and be a leader rather than an administrator.”
