An ad pushing the underdog GOP presidential bid of Gov. John Kasich suggests rivals Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz are crazy – with the pitch set to run in delegate-rich New York and Pennsylvania ahead of their primary contests.
As country singer Patsy Cline's classic hit "Crazy" plays in the background, a narrator attacks Cruz for comments his father made about his son being "anointed" to assume a "powerful position," and then hits Trump for controversial remarks on Muslims, abortion and nuclear weapons.
"That the best we can do? No it's not. The best we can do? John Kasich. Stable. Presidential," the narrator declares. The ad was posted by
The Hill on Friday.
It was produced by the pro-Kaich super PAC New Day Independent Media Committee Inc.
Kasich is 33 points behind Trump, but ahead of Cruz in polls in New York, which has its primary April 19, according to
Real Clear Politics.
