Jim Geraghty, no Trump fan, has already done a nifty job not just of picking apart the individual claims in this clip but of comparing Trump’s excesses to the left’s own fascist flirtations, from official White House policies on down to campus “safe spaces.†Did Trump say that all Muslims should register with the government? He insists he only meant Syrian refugees, not Muslim citizens. Did he ever call for deporting “Hispanic immigrants� He called for deporting all illegal immigrants, not just the Hispanic ones — and then letting many of them back in eventually. Did he claim it was okay to rough up “black protesters� He did say that a black protester who heckled him maybe deserved to get roughed up, but like Geraghty says, there’s no reason to racialize that. Trump being Trump, he probably would have said the same thing about a white protester — which doesn’t excuse the creepy viciousness of his sentiment but does upset the “Trump versus minorities†storyline here. And as for Trump wanting to “suppress journalists,†is Team Kasich talking about … this? Jorge Ramos disrupting a press conference by refusing to stop talking over other reporters and waiting his turn to be called on? C’mon.
Maybe Team Kasich thinks turnabout is fair play. Trump isn’t, shall we say, a stickler for factual accuracy in the things he says. Why should Kasich be in attacking him? The important question, though, is whether an ad like this will work. Don’t bet on it, says David Frum:

I hope he's spending his constituents' money better then he's spending his.
No Kaisich- First Trump came for YOU you rino!
I don’t like Trump at all. He’s not a conservative, and I think he’s a terrible candidate. But this Kasich ad is really below the belt. Just awful.
Gee, how original. The GOPe will pay heavily for this.
OK, then he chops the heads off the puppies while singing “Feelings” and pooping on an American flag?
That’ll do it fo sho!
Geeze Kasich, get it right...First he came for the Mexicans.
I remember Gary Condit. That guy was one weird SOB.
First the muslims came for us and we did nothing....
Because the Muslims did indeed come for US first!
I am no fan of Trump but Kasich would never do this against Hillary/obama
“They will have to post pix of Trump having sex with several multi-racial dwarf puppies to stop him now.”
Trump’s #’s would jump due to the diversity weirdos coming over for him.
your post #17—— thumbs up.
Thanks - spur of the moment inspiration - was going to go on but ran into cobwebs - feel free to add, subtract, multiply or divide
I want to know where the money for this ad came from.
Not just any mailman.
Some FReeper, can’t remember who, made a great remark not too long ago.
Something like, when people are in a debate over something and one of them resorts to using the Nazi card, he considered that person loses and the debate is over.
That is what was done here.
Kasich is a governor so I wouldn't call him an "establishment" guy. He's his own man in his state and not constrained or ordered about by Washington.
When he was a Representative in the US House, he put together a balanced budget and that is the last one our government ever had.
I remember telling him that's just what Hitler would have done, and I won the argument because he never replied.
