During a town hall event on Tuesday in Georgia, Ohio Gov. John Kasich told attendees that he’s not positive his “purpose” is to become president, according to ABC News.
At the event at Kennesaw State University, an audience member told Kasich that “it’s time to take the gloves off.”
“My question to you is: John Kasich, when are you going to live out your purpose Thursday night when you have the national stage?” the audience member asked. “What are you gonna do to stick it to Trump, stick it to Rubio and live out your purpose?”
“First of all, I don’t know if my purpose is to be president,” Kasich replied, according to video from ABC News. “My purpose is to be out here doing what I think I need to be doing, and we’ll see where it ends up.”
“And if it’s not this crusade it’ll be another one, and maybe it’ll be a really small one somewhere in my kids’ school,” he continued. “Who knows? Because it doesn’t matter the size of the crusade. It’s the fact that you are in a crusade.”
The Ohio governor echoed those comments later in the day during a town hall in Sandy Springs, Georgia, according to the New York Times.
Kasich told the crowd that he was “following the purpose that I think has been laid out for me,” according to the New York Times.
He added that he is “not sure exactly what the goal is.”
“Some might say it’s to be elected president,” he said, according to the Times. “Maybe it’s a different goal. Maybe it’s raising the bar and giving people the sense that the world can be a better place, that we can be positive, that we can have solutions. Maybe that’s enough.”

Like many of the Republican candidates, John, God spoke to me, and told me his intentions for you. So get your ass over here and clean my damned bathroom!
He’s already a vindictive little prick, but I can’t even imagine the bitch-on-wheels he’s going to become when he has to “suspend” his campaign, since the media crowned him as the “moderate” and the “voice of reason in the Republican Party”, and his ascension to the throne was blessed by the Punditry Gods. Have fun, Ohio! Been nice to know you. We’ll send flowers.
John, it’s time to get out!
(Kasich is the only legitimate Repulsive Party candidate who could win a general election. It is important he drop out.)
Kasich: My purpose is to stay relevant as a conservative grifter. I seem to getting some competition in that area.
Lordy, lordy, the GOP can’t let go of that crusader meme. Most people just say ‘purpose,’ ya’ know?
