2016: John Kasich (R) vs. Hillary Clinton (D)

Lmao

I don't see any reason why Kasich would have done significantly better than Trump. Democrats, suburban White women and minority voters are rallied around Clinton.

The Clinton machine would have turned Kasich into Romney 2.0.

No, Clinton is a corrupt liar whose desire for power is endless. Kasich would have nearly all the #NeverTrumpers behind him, plus a few more voters. Plus, after 8 years of Obama, when the other option is not Trump, Kasich would do better.

Maybe, but I think people are exaggerating the number of possible Obama/Kasich voters a bit. As much as I hate to admit it, but Kasich would hardly do better with Hispanics, Blacks and White women than Trump.

Some women may be voting for Clinton because she's a woman. As with Blacks, Kasich likely gets 2-3% more than Romney, but not much. He would make inroads with Hispanics, though, IMO.
