This ad won't change anyone's mind about Trump. He is so popular because of the dangerous rhetoric, not in spite of it. Trying to scare people away from his campaign by telling people he is a dangerous lunatic who says what he likes is the political equivalent of telling a teenager not to smoke cigarettes because it makes them look like dangerous rebels who don't care about the rules.

Kasich and everyone else is still pretending the American electorate is sane and intelligent. It is not.
