"the Ohio governor is still out on the trail running a delusional vanity project masquerading as a presidential campaign."

Actually, there is a payoff to Kasich staying in the race. The entire nation will see what an indelible idiot he is, and it will become the primary component of his brand. I call that a win-win.

(Was it Lowry that can't dance, or Tucker Carlson? Well, since I've never seen them both in the same room, what difference at this point does it make?)

UPDATE: Here's a temperate and fair analysis, titled "Is The Kasich Campaign Huffing Paint? Kasich's role in the race has been like an Easter egg that was hidden too well -- no one pays any attention until it starts to smell."

The level of incompetency and overall lack of self-awareness that has plagued this son-of-a-mailman’s campaign is probably what’s keeping him from seeing the light and dropping out, which Cost put nicely here:

Ironically, the reason why Kasich must leave is the reason he will not leave. His campaign is too incompetent to see its incompetence. 12/12
