Kasich Says Trump has Toned Down the Rhetoric

He just said something that is news to everyone: Donald Trump has toned it down lately. Huh? When exactly did this start?

"Republican presidential candidate John Kasich said Sunday that poll leader Donald Trump has “toned down the rhetoric” — a remark that might come as a surprise to supporters of Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton."

“I’ve been listening to him lately, and you notice he’s toned down the rhetoric,” Kasich said on ABC’s “This Week.”

"His comments come amid a controversy over Trump’s use of the word "schlonged" to describe Clinton’s 2008 loss in the Democratic primary to Barack Obama."

"Kasich was asked Sunday whether he would support Trump if Trump wins the GOP nomination. The Ohio governor declined to answer the question, instead saying that Trump is “toning it down.”

“I’m just hoping as we go forward that he’s going to be a unifier,” Kasich said. “If we have a candidate that comes into Ohio who’s a divider, there’s no chance they’re going to win it.”

Yes, talking about Hillary's bathroom break as 'disgusting' is toned down rhetoric in Kaisch's book. Good to know where he draws a line!

I don't know when Kaisch started the drugs but it must be a nice stash. Come to think of it, I did notice that Kasich toned down his own wild anti Trump rhetoric at the last debate; probably due to how much his own poll numbers have 'toned down.'

Meanwhile Carly Fiorina thinks that Bill Clinton is fair game.

"Donald Trump is on solid ground attacking Bill Clinton, Carly Fiorina said Monday. But, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard added, it's not the way to win."

"Of course Bill Clinton’s fair game. He’s a former president," Fiorina told "Fox and Friends," reminding the co-hosts that Trump has frequently denounced former President George W. Bush, in addition to his more recent attempts to tie Hillary Clinton to her husband's fraught history with women. "But you’re not going to beat Hillary Clinton by attacking Bill Clinton," she said.

The difference is that with W it was a policy issue where as Clinton it's the personal nonsense that failed in the 90s. Fiorina is right though that attacking Bill Clinton won't defeat Hillary Clinton; heck, in the 90s attacking Bill Clinton didn't beat Bill Clinton.
