Washington – John Kasich says he asked his aides to give him a list of Donald Trump’s quotes promoting violence at rallies after clashes between protesters and supporters led to the cancellation of a Trump rally on Friday night.

The Ohio GOP governor has largely declined to criticize Trump until now.
Speaking with The Associated Press aboard his campaign bus between stops in Ohio, Kasich pulled out his iPad and read off a list of Trump quotes compiled by his press secretary.
The quotes included Trump’s comments that his audiences should “hit back” a little more and a statement that he’d like to punch a protester in the face.
Kasich says the “toxic” tone Trump has created makes it even more important for him to win Tuesday’s primary in Ohio, adding, “this is not what Ohio goes for.”
Of the Republicans remaining in the race, Kasich is the only one that seems Presidential. Rubio lost any standing as a leader with his remark about Trump’s hands.
Children thrive on attention, even negative attention. The attention children receive from attention even if it is negative makes them feel more powerful. The Trump campaign also thrives on attention, even negative. To weaken the Trump campaign, other candidates and the media should ignore him and pay more attention to positive messages in the campaigns, if there are any.

T-Rump said that he would like to smash his face and next time will need to kill him.
That is to “encourage” a riot.
T-Rump said that he will pay for the rioters legal fees.
That is ‘aid’ to me.
Unfortunately, this charge only has a 5 year jail time.
