John Kasich: Jeb Bush's Failure to Seal the Deal Leaves Room for 2016 Run

Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, was up in New Hampshire this week and said there was one major reason he could launch a potential bid for the Republican presidential nomination: the start of former Gov. Jeb Bush’s, R-Fla., efforts. 

"I didn't think I was going to be back up here again because, frankly, I thought Jeb was just going to suck all the air out of the room, and it just hasn't happened," Kasich said, according to NH1 News.

"No hit on Jeb. No hit on you, Jeb!" Kasich added.

But Kasich also mocked Bush’s war chest.  "I’m not going to have Bush money; Wells Fargo doesn’t have Bush money,” Kasich said.
