Kasich Launches Twitter War Against Trump

Presidential candidate Donald Trump visited Ohio on Monday, but not without Governor Kasich—also seeking the Republican presidential nomination—attacking him on Twitter. It began the day prior to Trump’s rally with a blog post on Kasich’s Web site titled, “Ohio Political Leaders to Trump: This Is Kasich Country.” Kasich began tweeting endorsements from Ohio’s GOP establishment class, aiming them at Trump.

Before arriving at the Ohio rally, Trump called Kasich a “dummy” and referred to the state as “home of one of the worst presidential candidates in history.”
Going to Ohio, home of one of the worst presidential candidates in history–Kasich. Can’t debate, loves #ObamaCare–dummy!

Despite the negative tweets from Kasich, Trump reported a successful rally.
Just left Columbus rally of 14,000 people — a far bigger crowd than even I expected! Unbelievable evening, incredible spirit in the arena!
