Quote:During a speech Saturday, Donald Trump let the crowd know that he has a lot of problems with opponent Ohio Gov. John Kasich ®, including the spelling of his last name.

While speaking to a crowd in Connecticut, Trump started on a tear about how many more millions of votes he has than Kasich and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX). During that portion of his speech, he stopped to wax poetic about the correct way to pronounce "Kasich."

“I don’t know how to pronounce his name — Kasich. It’s -i-c-h,” Trump said in a video reported by ABC. “Every time I see it I say Kas-itch. But it’s pronounced Kas-ick."

Trump went on to call the ordeal of pronouncing his name "ridiculous" and asked the crowd if he could ask Kasich to change the spelling.

“So I'm doing a very good job saying it...Can we ask him to change the spelling of his name? Are we allowed to do that? It’s so ridiculous,” Trump said.

You know, it always cracks me up when people look for the tiniest of ways to criticize someone or something when there are plenty of perfectly good and more important criticisms to be made.

That makes no sense.

What I'm saying is that if Trump criticizes something stupidly and you have a problem with it, that doesn't mean that you can criticize Trump stupidly. Otherwise you're a hypocrite. For example, when Trump criticized Fiorina's looks, did you think he was wrong for doing so? If yes, then you can't turn around and make fun of Trump's looks 'cause that's hypocritical. 

Look, the main reason I'm pointing this out is because that by being hypocritcal YOU'RE ACTUALLY HELPING TRUMP. When people complained about Trump criticizing Fiorina's looks, he pointed out all the criticism leveled to him about his looks (usually his hair). This just made his supporters all the more vigorous and probably even got some undecided people on his side.

You obviously hate Trump and I don't necessarily blame you, but if you truly want to hurt him, be critical of his ideas and his policies and positions. Don't try to out-Trump Trump. It ain't going to work and, worse, will actually help him.
