John “He Who Has No Chance” Kasich is attempting to take down Trump because he HAS to win New Hampshire and Trump is the front runner in the campaign. I don’t like Kasich, he’s a scum bag, but this is the way a campaign goes down and Kasich wants the nomination otherwise he wouldn’t be running. If you’re a candidate, you’re in it to win it, and attack ads are used against your opponent to harm them and drag them down in the polls so you can win the race.
Donald J. Trump â@realDonaldTrump
Watch Kasich squirm -— if he is not truthful in his negative ads I will sue him just for fun!
I said I hope you are not from ...the other side.
you just sound like them.
I don’t mind seeing that, and have said it quite a few times on here, however, that being said, if you have people on here throwing Cruz into the gutter with their ‘vile’ remarks that put Cruz there, it isn’t good for Cruz...
People will turn away from people that use ‘vile’ remarks to support their candidate or candidates...don’t let that happen if you are supporting that certain candidate...
Trump supporters are above this, and do not do this...and if they do, we take care of it...
GO TRUMP GO!!!
What would you expect him to say?
You are letting your own animus toward Trump cloud your thinking.
Something has to curb the misleading and outright dishonest words used in ads.
Absent the ability to arrange duels, I’m not seeing much of any way to curb the lies.
Do you have ideas on that front?
“Kashich is trying to involve Trumps Company and Trade Mark Name in his ads, which is illegal....”
No it’s not, read up on “Fair Use”.
Trump battles his opponents by his own words during interviews and campaign rallys. The RINOs know that nobody is paying attention to them so there only option is multi-million dollar repetitive TV ads.
That's ridiculous, and like everything you say, totally without any intellectual back up.
I say fight like a man, not a girl.....and you're defending Mr. Tough Guy even when he runs crying to the teacher. WAAAAAA WAAAAAAA WAAAAAAA
That is true to the best of my knowledge.
I am not a lawyer but I think that "actual malice" is based on foreknowledge that what is being said is a lie and/or a reckless disregard for the truth.
What Trump's lawyer is doing is warning these parties that what they might be saying in an ad is a lie...and that draws in the "foreknowledge of the truth" as well as the "reckless disregard for the truth" issues.
It's not so much a matter of who would win such a suit as it is a warning that such actions might lead to serious legal entanglement.
In warning all opponents to be alert to the use of lies in ads or otherwise, he is raising the "reckless disregard for the truth" issue and putting them on notice that he is willing to defend himself in court.
Very smart move considering the GOPe will try to play dirty. This will give them pause.
I like Trump a WHOLE LOT BETTER than I like some of his most bot like worshipful knee pad fanbois.
But this was a bad move.....some of us are man enough to admit it....some are not.
Trademark
A trademark, trade mark, or trade-mark is a recognizable sign, design, or expression which identifies products or services of a particular source from those of others, although trademarks used to identify services are usually called service marks. The trademark owner can be an individual, business organization, or any legal entity.
And Trump Trade Mark is not for ‘Fair Use’ it doesn’t fall under that usage.... Trump Trade Marks are for the Golf Courses, Resorts, Hotels, Products plus his Children’s Foundations, it is a World Wide Trump Trade Mark...and can’t be ‘fair use’.....
Maybe Kasich can get the hero of John Grisham’s new book to take the case—you know, the one who will defend anybody.
Democrats
Independents
Moderate Republicans (who think of Tea Party members as terrorists)
Conservatives (who are certain Ted Can't win and will vote for Trump instead)
Your guy is toast in the primaries. If you think I'm just making up a pipe dream here to support my candidate, think of this.
In 32 years we haven't nominated a Conservative person to represent our party. Why is that? Does history matter? Can we learn from history? Should we?
You are trashing the one guy that is promoting our beliefs to tens of thousands of people at nearly every campaign stop. Why?
He pulls in people across demographic lines. Cruz does not.
If you listen to Trump campaign speeches, you'll hear Trump promote the same things Reagan did and more. REAGAN!
Why will you be happy to see a guy promoting Reagan's agenda be defeated?
Okay, so lets recap.
Cruz can't get the nomination due to the heavily Leftist participants in our primaries. Trump can, but you and others are doing your best to stop him.
Tell me how that is any different than exactly what the GOPe wants.
After the events in Paris on 11/13, I will be adding
this to my posts for the next week. I'm certain our
turn is coming again soon. We stand united against
Islamic extremists.
Some music for reflection if the mood strikes you.

An honorable mention also goes out to Lassana Bathily , a Muslim immigrant from Mali.
Mr. Bathily sheltered customers at the Jewish Deli and helped police by providing info
on the terrorists, and providing the location of survivors in the deli.

“foreknowledge of the truth”
Yes, the preemption then is VERY brilliant because Trump could then prove ‘Actual Malice’
Or put that another way: Do you think the law needs to be used by Trump to defend his candidacy from an libelous/tortious attack by the GOP establishment?
My answer to that would be "you're dam right."
Eggzactly!
I totally agree with Trump on this. The Democrat and establishment GOP machines will bold faced lie about the non-establishment candidates and that includes Ted Cruz. Bravo to Trump for giving them a heads-up by saying “don’t eff with me”. It’s about time someone smacks these bullies.
Iâm not saying lies should get promoted, but I have never seen a campaign season where a candidate files a lawsuit against another candidate for making an attack ad.
...
Trump may have close to $10 billion in assets. It’s wise to protect them and prevent them from being turned into a liability. Other candidates are still free to tell the truth if they want to attack him.
