Kasich votes McCain instead of Trump

Ohio Gov. John Kasich voted Monday for 2008 Republican nominee John McCain instead of for 2016 Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Kasich wrote in McCain's name at the top of the ticket, Kasich spokesman Chris Schrimpf said, on his absentee ballot.
Kasich ran against Trump for the Republican nomination, and has been a prominent holdout ever since dropping out of the race in May. He has long promised not to support Trump in November, but he had not previously said who he planned to support instead.
Kasich's vote was first reported by the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Yes, he's all kinds of slimy, and yes, he's aiming for a 2020 run, but this still takes moral courage considering the proliferation of deplorables in his state party.

Good for him.

"If you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem.”

He is trying to preserve his viability for 2020

If McCain is not registered as a write in candidate then the asshole's vote doesn't count.
