Good.
It’s about time this arrogant little puke gets called out for being a phony.

Point out the fact that Kasich voted for NAFTA too. That will get the Trump voters riled-up.

The 30-second spot, first tweeted out by Trump, will air throughout the Buckeye State, according to the Trump campaign. The ad comes just days before Ohio's primary on Tuesday and claims Kasich "helped Wall Street predator Lehman Brothers destroy the world economy" and criticizes the Ohio governor for spending time in states other than his own.

Is this the same Lehman Brothers Donald Endorsed bailing out with our Tax Dollars? Bwahahahaha Yeah you bet Donald. /s

Of all the states on Super Tuesday 2, I think that Ohio is going to be the most difficult for Trump to win. That’s why he’s going after Kasich. That said, he should be careful, considering that Kasich is popular in Ohio.

Kasich was managing director of Lehman/s Columbus, Ohio investment banking division until the bank went under in 2008 but says "I wasn't involved in the inner workings of Lehman, I was a banker. I didn't go to board meetings or go and talk investment strategy with the top people." But he/s lying b/c a report in The Columbus Dispatch, quotes a Lehman official who said Kasich had “board level and CEO relationships where he helped not only open the door for Lehman Brothers, but he also was a key member of the deal team providing advice.”

==========================================

What does Kasich know about this?

The best book on the 2008-9 crisis was “The Sellout,” by Charles Gasparino. He traces several threads:

- How the investment banks (Merrill, Lehman, Bear Stearns) had leveraged themselves into near-death experiences before

- How US government policies virtually forced banks to make low-down payment mortgages to buyers with sub-standard credit, forcing up prices

- How securitization meant these sub-standard loans could be bundled up and sold far and wide (w/ great losses to the buyers)

- How the ratings agencies gave this crap AAA ratings

- How the sales incentives to create mortgage-backed securities led to incredible short term behavior on the part of investment bankers

- How AIG (insurance) screwed up by guaranteeing many of these in Credit Default Swaps....etc, etc, etc.

It took an unholy confluence of events—government policy, investment banker greed, and last, but not least, securitization to create the perfect storm.....and swamped taxpayers w/ billion dollar bailouts.

====================================

BTW....did Lehman do any education, transportation, municipal bonding deals for Ohio? That/s where the pols and the bank make zillions of dollars in perpetuity.

Also leaves the taxpayers w/ huge tax bills....in perpetuity.

Just look up Kasich in WikiPedia. Then have fun from there.
