Trusted Leadership PAC [pro-Cruz super PAC]

"Kasich Won't Play" +

:30 ad run in WI from Mar. 29, 2016.

[Music]

Male Announcer:  The John Kasich playbook: holding for a last-second shot and blocking out the grassroots. 

But that's classic John Kasich.

Millionaires working side by side with George Soros are bankrolling his super PAC, while Kasich votes against the Second Amendment and expanded Obamacare in Ohio, costing taxpayers billions.

So given John Kasich's liberal record, it's no surprise his campaign isn't rebounding.  Because John Kasich won't play in Wisconsin.

Trusted Leadership PAC is responsible for the content of this advertising.


Notes: The NCAA basketball Final Four is coming up.

QUOTE:

“As voters take a closer look at John Kasich, it becomes crystal clear his record is that of a liberal governor - someone who expanded Obamacare, whose super PAC is being funded by liberal billionaire George Soros, and who voted to restrict gun rights. These are not conservative values. There is only one conservative in the race and that is Senator Ted Cruz, who also has the best chance of not only beating Trump to win the nomination, but also beating Hillary Clinton in November,” said Chip Roy, executive director of Trusted Leadership PAC.

A response from the pro-Kasich super PAC New Day for America

NEW DAY FOR AMERICA FILES COMPLAINT AGAINST CRUZ SUPER PAC

March 29, 2016 - New Day For America has filed a complaint with television stations in Wisconsin against a pro-Ted Cruz Super PAC, Trusted Leadership PAC, for attempting to air a false and misleading ad. Among other things, the ad falsely claims that John Kasich has accepted "hundreds of thousands of dollars from George Soros." A copy of the complaint is available here.

"They can't talk about Ted Cruz's record because he hasn't accomplished anything and they know Hillary Clinton would wipe the floor with him, so their only option is to run TV ads full of lies and distortions," said Connie Wehrkamp, New Day For America spokeswoman. "It's kind of sad but it makes us appreciate that we are supporting the only candidate in this race who actually has a proven record and can defeat Hillary Clinton in November."
