Donald Trump's campaign reached out to Ohio Gov. John Kasich in May with an offer to make him the "most powerful vice president in history,"
Trump's oldest son, Donald Trump Jr., reached out to a Kasich adviser after the Ohio governor ended his own Republican presidential campaign, promising that if he accepted the vice presidency, Kasich would be in charge of domestic and foreign policy.
The adviser asked what Trump would be in charge of, the report said, and Trump Jr. responded: "Making America great again."
Kasich has refused to endorse Trump, the GOP's presidential nominee, for president, and won't speak at this week's Republican National Convention even though it's taking place in his home state.
He has said Trump shouldn't expect an endorsement anytime soon.
But according to the Kasich adviser (who spoke only under the condition that he not be named)
"John Kasich was never asked by me to be V.P. Just arrived in Cleveland - will be a great two days!" Trump tweeted.
...
But on Wednesday, another Trump aide dismissed the news of a vice presidential offer, which was first reported by The New York Times.
"Completely false. His vetting read like a trashy novel," the aide said, when asked by CNN about the reports.
"John Kasich was never asked by me to be V.P. Just arrived in Cleveland - will be a great two days!" Trump tweeted.

Pretty much the way I see it. He's a businessman, not a diplomat. Hell, not even a politician. As prez what is he actually qualified for? The "bottom line" doesn't work when running a country.

Judging by the way Kasich acted when he was still in the race but had zero mathematical chance of being nominated Im not surprised he is not interested. Kasich came across as very egotistical and even in denial to me. I'm sure Trump realizes the GOP needs Ohio and Kasich obviously has support there. I think Kasich needs to lick his wounds and get behind the nominee and stop be a sore looser.
