I compliment Kasich’s restraint. If I were him, I would be saying something like, “Donald Trump has only two opponents left in this race. For him to not be able to learn the pronunciations of their names belies a total lack of curiosity of the world around him and a pride in ignorance and knownothingism. He seems to be a very dim bulb.”

You’d think a guy who does real estate and lives in a city with the Kosciuszko Bridge would have a clue about whether or not a name is hard to spell.

The last player chosen in the NFL Draft each year is commonly referred to as:
Mr Irrelevant
As popular culture disseminates a term over time–
it may be we now have another fitting usage in applying it to Gov Kas-ick.

I grew up in a very rural part of southern Ohio. The way the folks I knew would approach Trump’s inability with Gov. Kasich’s name would be something along the lines of “Well isn’t that just sweet? Bless his heart! The poor rich boy never got an education and didn’t learn to spell.” In my case I would have pointed out to Mr Drumpf …err…Trump that he didn’t seem to have the “fine brain and world’s greatest memory” he boasted of if he actually did have difficulty spelling K.A.S.I.C.H. Now I don’t claim to be the world class intellectual giant Trump does but I have no difficulty spelling the name of Ohio’s governor and truth be told I am not that great at spelling.
Damn he’s got small hands. Has anyone noticed that?

It is up to Mr. Kasich to decide. But personally, I like Jon better than John.
My own memory isn’t bad and I recall from my school days that this kind of simple-minded mockery is one way the slow-witted bullies would try to diminish antagonists. The only people who actually thought it was funny, or at least pretended to think so, were the bully’s scurvy little hangers-on. Trump’s gang of hangers-on is larger than most, but if they find this amusing and effective that’s just sad. In the meantime, Kasich’s staying in chips away at Trump’s first-ballot hopes, and Cruz continues to easily put his own slates of delegates in place. Guess hiring Manafort didn’t equal an instant national ground game somehow. This is why the sad, ineffective attempts at mockery Trump burbles out aren’t going to bother Kasich much. Whatever else you say, Kasich’s not a stupid man, and it would be stupid to care about that.

Added Kasich: “at least it’s my real name, Herr Drumpf.”

Oh my yes. It’s damn near a year and you’d think he’d have maybe read a ninth-grade book on American history or something but no. He might as well be the guy who invented narcissistic personality disorder but even he recognizes he doesn’t know jack about the issues. He deflects hilariously whenever he’s pinned down with a question. “I’ll tell you one thing, this is a very good looking group of people here. Could I just go around so I know who the hell I’m talking to?” If anyone missed it, that was his answer to a question on the use of tactical nukes. And the audio’s available. If he’s unfortunate enough to make it to the general, if the gods are that intent on destroying him, the attack ads will, as they say, write themselves.

The only thing reasonable about Kasich is his refraining from name calling. He is concservative with a capital “C”. He was a member of Lehman Brothers when the country suffered a meltdown and Lehman Brothers was a significant cause. He said he had a small office with them. At a million or more a year. Probably payback for his time as a Representative helping the finance industry. He has tried to destroy unions in Ohio, shut off funding for Planned Parenthood, stuck blocks in front of the less off with voting restrictions. He definitely would get the conservative vote in the general but thankfully just their vote isn’t enough to win the White House.

Softening him up, you mean? Getting him ready for treating him the way he treated Chris Christie?

Is that the way they say “bless his heart” in Ohio? It means something different down south…
Short fingers; he was styled a “short-fingered vulgarian.” Let’s get the insult right, people!
One of Hillary’s adds does exactly that. It uses Trump’s own comments over the course of this “election” run up. It’s hilarious except that this numbnutz is seriously attempting to become President of the United States making it decidedly unfunny.

Bless his heart means exactly the same thing in my part of S. Ohio as it does where my aunt lives in Athens, Georgia. In fact she was the one who taught me the skillful insult it can become.

I saw that, and thought it was pretty good. But again, there’s so, so much material to work with. He’s emotionally incapable of seeing the damage he’s done to himself over the decades. If he could, I think he would trail off home, have all the mirrors in the house packed up, and then devote the rest of his life to serious drinking. But he can’t, so the farce must play out. : (
