Gov. John Kasich
The Detroit News editorial page backs Ohio Gov. John Kasich as its choice for president.
An editorial says:
This time, Michigan could be where a true alternative at last emerges to front-runner Donald Trump, who comes out of the Super Tuesday vote with a formidable lead in the delegate count.
That candidate should be John Kasich, the Ohio governor who offers a heaping measure of maturity, competence and experience to a GOP race that has taken on the air of a junior high class officer’s election. Kasich also possesses the temperament that can command respect both at home and abroad.
Those should be the minimum qualifications for a nominee. And yet, of the remaining candidates, only Kasich has demonstrated them consistently on the campaign trail. It doesn’t hurt that Kasich also has a record of success in Ohio and, before that, in Congress.
On Friday, it will endorse a Democratic candidate.
That should be interesting.
