Ohio governor John Kasich has ruled out a potential third-party run for the White House, telling CNN that such a campaign “doesn’t feel right”.

“I’m not gonna do that,” Kasich told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in his first interview since dropping out of the race for the Republican nomination. “I gave it my best where I am. I just think running third party doesn’t feel right. I think it’s not constructive.

“A third-party candidacy would be viewed as kind of a silly thing,” he continued. “And I don’t think it’s appropriate. I just don’t think it would be the right thing to do.”

The move comes despite reported pressure from former Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

2. the biggest reason a 3rd party candidate won't happen?

because GOP donors already know what throwing away hundreds of millions of dollars looks like (Rubio, Cruz, Kasich, Jeb!).
