//------------------------------// // John Kasich // Story: The 2016 Presidential Campaign Goes to Equestria // by Admiral Biscuit //------------------------------// John Kasich John Kasich refrained from making a campaign tour in Equestria, instead focusing on increasing his lead in his home state of Ohio. So it was quite a surprise to him that his poll numbers suddenly started creeping up. It was only after two day of this statistical anomaly that his campaign manager realized what had happened, and hurriedly cobbled together a quick trip to at least make sure that the Equestrians knew he was still in the running. His visit was a resounding success. The ponies had already forgotten about his rivals, and they eagerly waved campaign signs as he spoke to them. He visited the Crystal Empire, Canterlot, and even Ponyville, where he had a private meeting with Princess Twilight Sparkle. Everything was going perfectly well until he mistook the mirror portal for the entrance to the bathroom. As soon as he stepped through, he realized that he had made a terrible, terrible mistake, but by then it was too late. He'd taken the book which powered the portal as some light reading material, and he was stuck in Equestria Girls for thirty moons or until the plot required that the portal be opened again. Then Derpy accidentally portalized him, just for the sake of consistency.
