| At a town hall at Brilex Industries in Youngstown, Ohio – and with Bernie Sanders hosting another event at a more traditional event space down the street – John Kasich pulled onto the factory floor in his campaign bus, speakers blaring U2’s Beautiful Day to applause from a variety of factory workers, supporters in shirts and ties and at least one contingent of college students, bused in to see the inner workings of democracy up close. | At a town hall at Brilex Industries in Youngstown, Ohio – and with Bernie Sanders hosting another event at a more traditional event space down the street – John Kasich pulled onto the factory floor in his campaign bus, speakers blaring U2’s Beautiful Day to applause from a variety of factory workers, supporters in shirts and ties and at least one contingent of college students, bused in to see the inner workings of democracy up close. |

| The questions remains whether the popular governor can surge pass the showman Donald Trump in the Buckeye state: his supporters, and those who want to see the Trump momentum slowed, certainly hope so.
