and not as a speaker at our convention." <--- This. Let him endorse Biden. Let Kasich endorse Biden all he wants. The Democratic National Convention should feature speakers from the Democratic party. We have plenty of our own elder statesmen and women to speak in support of Biden, as well as rising stars who would benefit from the exposure. Kasich's presence is potentially polarizing and completely unnecessary.
