GOP ad campaigns against Trump probably won't work because people who support Trump 'support him for what he stands for, not what he says'- Dr. Lara Brown, Columbus Dispatch

.
"I don’t know that any kind of that effort to undermine him will really work, because people who support him support him for what he stands for, not what he says,” Brown said."...

11/21/15, "Kasich after Trump, but to what end?" Columbus Dispatch, Darrell Rowland

"John Kasich has gone and smacked Donald Trump in the face. How’s that likely to work out for the Ohio governor’s long-shot challenge for the GOP presidential nomination?...

It’s going to take enormously more than Kasich’s limited ad campaign to bring Trump low,” said Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics. “I suppose that Kasich sees he has little to lose, given his current support levels."...

[Ed. note: In Kasich's home state of Ohio Trump has double the support: Trump 26.9, Carson 21.8, Kasich 12.5, Bush 5.6. Oct. 2015 poll]

(continuing): "Lara Brown, program director of George Washington University’s Graduate School of Political Management, said the dispute is larger than just Kasich vs. Trump.

“I do think what we have going on here is really just the Republican political establishment — they’ve decided that it’s time to take aim at Trump. And it’s no surprise to me that it’s through John Kasich’s super-PAC,” she said....

I don’t know that any kind of that effort to undermine him will really work, because people who support him support him for what he stands for, not what he says,” Brown said."...
