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:

Except he didn’t.
Is it okay to come for the NAZIs but not the Commies?
He is worse than Bush and that is saying a lot.
John Kasich.....John McCain with a bad haircut.
Oh my gosh. How cliche. He went there? ROTFLMAO.
I think we ain’t seen nothing yet.
They will have to post pix of Trump having sex with several multi-racial dwarf puppies to stop him now.
That’ll stop him?
There is definitely something very odd about Kasich.
Poor Kasich can't get up...
All this guy is doing is giving Hillary a campaign argument for next year. "Well, Kasich said..."
What the GOPe and their minions are doing this year, is unforgivable. I will vote for Trump in the primaries, then I'm registering as an independent.
Oh please. We are now going to evoke the imagery of Pastor Niemoller having said his the Nazis came for groups one by one, and when they came for him nobody was left?? Does anyone really think this is the same type of situation??? Really????
his dad was a mailman.
BACKFIRE ! Poor John!
Well, golly then....he is PERFECT!!! A MAILMAN!!! OMG!!! I had NO IDEA!! I’m so sorry I said he had a bad haircut!
First Trump came for the turds—and Kasich panicked!
For a guy who is polling down there with Gilmore and Pataki, Kasich sure is getting mouthy.
First he came for the Muslims
better:
First the Muslims came for us.
And we said, “Oh, they are peaceful, but they were not.
Then we said, “Oh, but they are moderate, but they were not.
We were at a loss to explain what was going on, so we looked at schools, but they were all in love with the idea of multiculturalism with muslims.
Then we looked at genders, and discovered gender was whatever one wanted it to be.
We felt sure our military would protect us, but they were all wearing pink uniforms with head scarves.
We, in our desperation, turned to the Federal government, but it was filled with still more muslims.
“There is definitely something very odd about Kasich”.
Very odd indeed. I remind you that Mr. John was a cohort of Mr. Gar; that’s Gary Condit for those not intimate with the details.
He’s a PUNK....just like McCain is a PUNK!
Has someone come for Kasich’s pea brain?
