GOP group (Kasich Super PAC) plans most aggressive anti-Trump campaign yet
Politico ^

Posted on 11/19/2015 4:33:48 PM PST by springwater13

John Kasich has attacked Donald Trump relentlessly in debates and now his super PAC is planning to invest $2.5 million in the most aggressive takedown of the poll leader yet – on behalf of an increasingly anxious GOP establishment.

The attack, according to a blueprint shared with POLITICO, will play out over the next two months on radio, TV, mail, and online in New Hampshire. Strategists with the pro-Kasich group, called New Day for America, say the budget for the anti-Trump campaign is likely to grow.

The offensive comes as some in the GOP are beginning to plot how to combat the real-estate mogul and entertainer, who many are convinced would essentially deliver the White House to Democrats if he were the nominee. In launching the effort, the group hopes to position Kasich, who has lagged in the Republican contest and is searching for momentum, as a central Trump antagonist.

“We will be the tip of the spear against Trump,” said Matt David, a spokesman for the super PAC.

Rather than go after Trump for his business dealings or his past support for liberal causes, as some of his opponents have tried to do, the super PAC will paint Trump as someone who would be a deeply ineffective commander-in-chief and ill suited for the demands of the Oval Office.

They are truly dense.

Trump’s appeal is that he has all the right enemies, so they add themselves to the list like zombies.

Doesn’t matter. Trump can only be beaten by Trump at this point in the game.

He’s gone after he dumps his bankroll on Trump. I think most Kasich supporters, however many there are will break mostly for Rubio and Christie.

Kasich is ramping up his efforts to sabotage the Republican brand (what remains of it), as seen during that last debate. What a rude, OUT OF LINE AHOLE HE WAS DURING THAT DEBATE. I think he should ask Hillary if he can be her VP nominee.

FUJK!

Kasich = pissant with an erection
floating down the river on a leaf,
yelling, “Raise the drawbridge!”

A poor choice to hit him on. Just a few interviews by the 40% of his executive staff (the women) will make any attempt moot

Kasich does not have a prayer, so who is he working for. Bush or Rubio?

And I thought Kasich was all about being ‘Mr Nice Guy’.

At least that’s what he said.

Problem for them with Trump is he was always public with his opinion, he often gave it first and has been 100% right on the imortant stuff.

GOPe is screwed.

If Jeb can’t fix it, John can!

That’ll create a surge for Kasich.
