Washington – Ohio Governor John Kasich worked to repair his strained ties with Republican President Donald Trump on Friday with a visit to the White House, where he compared his situation to being on an airplane and rooting for the pilot to succeed.

Kasich was the last rival to oppose Trump in the Republican presidential nomination fight and famously refused to attend the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, in his home state, last summer when Trump officially became the party’s nominee.
At the White House, Trump brought Kasich into the Oval Office for a half-hour meeting. They discussed Kasich’s ideas for overhauling President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law, a pressing priority for Trump and the U.S. Congress.
Asked if he had buried the hatchet with Trump, Kasich told reporters after the meeting that he wanted Trump to succeed and would agree with him on some occasions and would speak out when he does not.
“The man is the president of the United States. It’s sort of like being on an airplane. You want to root for the pilot. If you’re on the airplane with the pilot, you don’t want the pilot to screw up,” Kasich said.
Kasich said he stressed with Trump the importance of his administration speaking with one voice, saying he had attended the Munich Security Conference in Germany recently and heard concerns about Trump’s policies despite reassurances given by Vice President Mike Pence.
U are still a loser ,
Should of come out at the Convention and show everyone that u support the elections
Little to late
Kasich’s wife told him to act as the Father of Ohio, since he is the Governor. However, he did not act that way, and was not a mentch, when he refused to welcome the delegates to the Republican National Convention, in Cleveland. He didn’t have to stay, at the convenion However, he should have made an appearance on the first day, and welcomed the delegates to Ohio. Kasich will never live that down, and Trump will never forget it either.
He is a looser and now just trying to save face, take it like a man…
