I've seen a few fact-checks that indicated a couple of Kasich's claims about his own record as governor are inflated, but the majority are "mostly true" or "true".
I have read some comments from Ohioans who loathe him too though, Donovan. Last I saw, however, Kasich has about a 60% approval rating in Ohio, which is pretty good, I think.
One thing I like about Kasich, aside from his experience balancing Washington's budget and turning the state of Ohio around, is that he's typically more reasonable than extreme (except when it comes to abortion), in my opinion.
He wants to expand Medicaid to help ensure more people have health coverage. He does not deny climate change and the science - he at least admits that it exists and supports investments in clean fuel, etc... He thinks it's ridiculous and anti-American (and non-Christian) to suggest that 11 million undocumented immigrants -- many of whom contribute to the economy and pay taxes -- are going to be rounded up, ripped from their families, and shipped out of the U.S. He wants to limit/screen new immigrants and allow those without criminal records who are already here to pursue a path to legalization (not citizenship).
I don't agree with his positions in whole, but I understand them and I think they're more reasonable than most.
