Ad against GOP candidate Kasich funded by mystery donors

On Monday, The Boston Globe endorsed Kasich, followed by the The Concord Monitor on Tuesday, and the OH governor told Fox News’ “America’s Newsroom” host Bill Hemmer that “when things go well like that, you kind of want to ride low in the saddle, as an old mentor of mine once said”.

The news organization cast the OH governor as having a “pragmatic, fiscally responsible” record.

Kasich has gotten several major New Hampshire newspaper endorsements, reports Politico, including the Nashua Telegraph, Foster’s Daily Democrat, and the Portsmouth Herald.

Gov. John Kasich likely will be heavily out-spent on television advertising by other Republican presidential campaigns and independent organizations during the final two weeks of next month’s New Hampshire primary.

Kasich is polling at 12 percent in the recent Boston Herald/Franklin Pierce poll. Christie trails in sixth place. Instead of last-minute campaigning in Des Moines or Cedar Rapids, Iowa, he plans to hold a town hall in Loudon, New Hampshire, just outside the capital of the state on which he has pinned his entire campaign. On the bright side for Rubio, newspaper endorsements of presidential candidates in 2016 do not carry the weight they once did.

Nick Ryan, an Iowa-based GOP strategist who founded American Future Fund in 2007, said he never reveals his contributors.

It further contended that Trump’s “bigotry is toxic – and it requires a resounding electoral defeat”. The ad calls Kasich “Not a conservative”. (Former CEO Carly Fiorina briefly looked like a viable candidate in the sanity bracket, but has faded in polls.) There’s a good chance that whichever of those four men performs best in New Hampshire – even if he doesn’t come in first overall – will emerge as leader of the party’s reality-based wing, and will then shoulder the responsibility for going head-to-head with Trump or Cruz.

Kasich now ranks 8th in national polls with 2.5% of prospective Republican voters.

Establishment GOP voters, who are less likely to support Trump, haven’t decided which candidates they like.
