Grammar/Syntax

The wording needs to be improved; he's the 69th governor since 2011? He announced his candidacy for President in 2016?

If Kasich was in college 1970 to 1974, how did he avoid the draft and avoid Vietnam? He either had a deferment or had a safe lottery number, something had to happen or he woulda been in the military. The article is obviously incomplete in this regard because Kasich later said he desired public service.

Semi-protected edit request on 18 August 2020

Please change the intro text:

Kasich is as a critic of Trump from within the Republican Party,[1] and was a speaker at the 2020 Democratic National Convention where he endorsed Joe Biden.[2]

to

Positioned as a critic of Trump from within the Republican Party,[3] Kasich was a speaker at the 2020 Democratic National Convention where he endorsed Joe Biden.[2]

Reason: The phrasing "Kasich is as a critic of Trump..." reads like a typo - at face value, it's pre-20th century English phrasing for a simile, in sentences like "I am as the rain that washes dirt away..." and I don't think a simile was intended when the sources show that Kasich is indeed a critic, not just comparable to a critic. Go with the sources, make this edit, and mark this edit request as answered. 209.166.108.199 (talk) 17:35, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

  Done I changed it to "Kasich is a critic" as "is as a" was a typo and it's much simpler to say than he is "positioned as a critic". – Muboshgu (talk) 17:40, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
