Kasich: I Will Beat Donald Trump in Ohio

‘I didn’t get any attention until after New Hampshire, I barely was a blip’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
MACCALLUM: "You are in Georgia today, the caucus tonight, what's the strategy?"
KASICH: "We have been all over the country. I left South Carolina last Friday evening. I did better than people expected me to do. Yesterday in Virginia, now we are in Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi. We are running all over the place and we expect to do welcome march 1st. I'm not sure how we are going to do it in Nevada. The caucus is a different animal. We are looking forward to the first march. I got great crowds. I had over 1,000 people last night at Virginia commonwealth in Richmond. People are begging me. They are telling me stuff you wouldn't believe, deep and personal issues about our families, and they say you are the guy offering us the hope and we just keep moving forward."
MACCALLUM: "There is no doubt you have got and lot more attention the last few weeks. You have seen touching moments on the campaign trail where you are connecting with voters. You have taken the nicer path saying you don't want to go after your opponents in this race. Donald Trump could easy have this thing wrapped up when you look at the delegate numbers."
KASICH: "First of all, Martha, I didn't get any attention until after New Hampshire. I barely was a blip. Since that time I beat Hillary Clinton by more than any republican, by 11 points. I'll beat Donald Trump in Ohio. And we need to have a respectable finish and accumulate delegates as we move forward. At some point you will see the frontrunner stumble in a real way and I think the race will come down to earth. At the same time I have been badly outspent. I spent $5 million, $6 million. A lot of ads being used to beat me up. A lot of negative campaigning against me. I'm neck and neck with the people who were after he head of me like Marco. We'll keep plugging. This is the first time the people in this country get a chance to hear about my head and the things I want to do to clear jobs. and the first time to understand my heart."
