New Day for America, a super-PAC supporting Ohio Gov. John Kasich, one of the back-of-the pack GOP presidential contenders, has a bold new plan to take down front-runner Donald Trump: tell Iowa voters how creepy he is. The group posted a web ad on Tuesday that mocks Trump for, among other things, saying of his daughter, while sitting next to her on national television, “If Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.”
Of all the Republican wannabes, Kasich took the lead in the last debate in assailing Trump, noting that Trump’s plan to deport 11 million undocumented immigrants was nutso. But Kasich’s verbal punches did not land, and, so far, it’s tough to see him as the guy to dethrone Trump—and there’s not much evidence to date that a YouTube clip like this will persuade Trump fans that he’s too weird to be president.
