Kasich super PAC rolls out first direct Trump attack ad
http://www.politico.com/story/2015/11/john-kasich-superpac-ad-donald-trump-216158The super PAC supporting Ohio Gov. John Kasich's presidential bid released its first direct attack ad against Donald Trump on Monday.
The 47-second Web ad is the first spot from the New Day for America super PAC in its planned $2.5 million campaign to knock Trump from his perch atop Republican primary polls. The super PAC previously released an ad featuring an image of Trump side by side with President Barack Obama but the ad Monday marked the first to mention the mogul by name.
The ad, which splices together clips of awkward and controversial Trump comments, includes Trump's remark that Arizona Sen. John McCain isn't a war hero, followed by Trump joking that “if Ivanka weren't my daughter perhaps I would be dating her.” Next comes audio of Trump saying, “I have a great relationship with the blacks. I've always had a great relationship with the blacks.”
Designed to raise questions about Trump's judgment and readiness for office, the ad text reads “Commander-in-chief?” before a clip of Trump saying he doesn't have “respect” for Fox News’ Megyn Kelly as a journalist after Kelly moderated a Republican presidential debate.
