When a supporter told him it’s “time to take the gloves off” at a rally in Georgia, Gov. John Kasich didn’t sound like he’s going to be running much longer.
Said Kasich: “I don’t know if my purpose is to be president. My purpose is to be out here, doing what I think I need to be doing and we’ll see where it ends up. And if it’s not this crusade, then it will be another one. Maybe it will be a really small one somewhere in my kid’s school. Who knows?”
