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.

The Cheap Labor Express can’t let Trump get elected, he’ll shut them down.
They will use whatever they can to prevent us from electing anyone who would shut them down.

They’re afraid he might get the nomination, and then beat Hillary like a drum. Dems will be outraged, because the gop establishment didn’t live up to their promise to allow Hillary to win. The dems will then retaliate by not inviting the gop establishment to the really cool cocktail parties. Trump will also not invite them to his cocktail parties.

The establishment wants a candidate who knows that this election is all about giving the country the first female president, because she is the “historic candidate” this time around. Next time around it will be the first gay president, and the gop establishment will want to lose that one as well.

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

Kasich got lucky with fracking.
Kasich was a director at Lehman Brothers when it collapsed.
Kasich wants to bail out the banks and then confiscate your wealth if your bank fails if you are too rich.

More effective than anything his PAC can do. Trump and Cruz have already destroyed this bum.

Trump is on twitter ripping kasich a new one.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 19s19 seconds ago

John Kasich fell right into President Obama’s trap on ObamaCare, and the people of Ohio are suffering for it. Shame!

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 29s29 seconds ago

Doesn’t help Kasich to do negative ads on me because he still has to go through everyone else - he’s almost last.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 41s41 seconds ago

John Kasich ad guy wanted to work for me, but his proposal was a rip off – I said NO! Now ripping Kasich.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 50s50 seconds ago

I loved beating John Kasich in the debates, but it was easy—he came in dead last!

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 1m1 minute ago

Kasich has already spent $6 million on ads in New Hampshire and his numbers have gone down. People from NH are smart!

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 1m1 minute ago

Watch Kasich squirm -— if he is not truthful in his negative ads I will sue him just for fun!

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 1m1 minute ago

I want to do negative ads on John Kasich, but he is so irrelevant to the race that I don’t want to waste my money.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 2m2 minutes ago

John Kasich, despite being Governor of Ohio, is losing to me in the Ohio polls. Pathetic!

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 2m2 minutes ago

John Kasich should focus his special interest money on building up his failed image, not negative ads on me.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump 2m2 minutes ago

Governor Kasich, whose failed campaign & debating skills have brought him way down in the polls, is going to spend $2.5 million against me.

Funding for the ad campaign comes from the RNC. Kasich is the stooly. Trump has the best Madison Avenue ad counterpunchers on tap that will destroy Kasich. They are going to be so sorry they tried it. Like the fools they have been to date, they underestimate their adversary until they get whacked down to size by the Trumpster.

Trump will not lie down.

He is the Anti-G W Bush, who never fought back against political attacks.

If it wasn’t for this forum Bush would have lost reelection to Kerry.

Kasich did not close the deal on defeating the unions in Ohio or stopping voter fraud, can’t deliver the state to the GOP in Presidential elections, and then doubles down and is probably the only Republican Governor to expand Medicare.

Now he’s going to waste 2.5 million dollars of degenerate plutocrats money on attacking Trump.

The enemedia and consultants are happy at least.
