John Kasich hits the book tour circuit: How is he doing?

Flip on your TV or swing by a book store and there is a chance you’ll see Ohio Gov. John Kasich chatting about his new book, “Two Paths: America Divided or United,” downplaying questions about whether he’ll run for president in 2020 and preaching unity and hope.

The governor and his publisher, St. Martin’s Press, launched an aggressive book tour this week that has Kasich traveling far and wide.
