Trump Destroys Kasich’s Eating Style: ‘I Have Never Seen a Human Being Eat in Such a Disgusting Fashion’

GOP frontrunner Donald Trump was back on the offensive Monday in Rhode Island, assailing rival candidate John Kasich for eating “in such a disgusting fashion.”

Trump blasted Kasich and Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) for essentially teaming up to block him from getting the requisite 1,237 delegates to clinch the Republican presidential nomination.

“Now you look at Kasich,” Trump said. “Did you see him? He has a news conference all the time when he’s eating. I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion.”

The crowd in Warwick howled its approval.

“I’m always telling my young son, Baron. I’m always with my kids, all of them. I’d say, children, small little bites,” Trump said. “This guy takes a pancake and he shoves it in his mouth. It’s disgusting. Do you want that for your president? I don’t think so. I don’t think so. Honestly, it’s disgusting.”

The billionaire hit him again for his eating style a few minutes later, remarking that his own son had seen Kasich eating food on the television

I noticed it myself.  We had the tv on mute and they showed Kasich stick something big in his mouth - and he kept on talking!  I thought I was going to throw up!

Trump is right - it was disgusting!

Eating it with a knife and fork is not disgusting, just strange. Talking with your mouth full is rude, for sure.

Maybe he should by the Texas State Fair one of these days, lol.

Part of Kasich's shtick is this "I'm every man" accessibility.    He feels at home mixing with the "real folks" in cafe's and coffee shops etc.   Sometimes the media throw a microphone in his face at an inopportune time.

Has Trump ever done anything but fly into some city and be whisked in and out of some planned event?   He's worse than Hillary.

So in other words, Trump has always been told he's a slob, and now he's projecting that onto Kasich.  The only way Trump takes small bites is if half of the whopper slides out of his greasy little fingers.

Well, to be fair to Trump, you can't take big bites of food with infant-sized hands.

Very different for the average citizen to notice something, and for someone who is supposed to be "presidential" calling it out on the campaign trail.

It is Trump who is the boor.

But okay--let's pull it together and get serious for a moment because we must pause and remember:  Political history was made yesterday. 

I'm passing this photo on so all Cruzoids can print it and include in their diaries under the banner:  March 25, 2016 a day in political infamy.

Actully, Kasich is hurting Cruz by staying in the race much more than Trump by taking delegates from Cruz and giving them to Trump.

IOW, If Kasich dropped out, the race would be much closer.

In the poll "what candidate would you rather have a beer with" - Trump is the big loser in my book.   If the way Kasich eats grosses him out, he would throw-up sitting in with us men around the fire at deer camp, or having lunch on a crab boat.

Trump doesn't drink alcohol.  At all.

So you'll just have to get drunk with Kasich at his concession speech party.  Free food.  Probably hot dogs.

I suppose when you are born with a silver spoon in your mouth, and you have little tiny hands,  you have to eat dainty. Like a little girl at a tea  party.  If that's you, It's understandable that watching men eat, they way they belch, wipe food off their chin with their sleeve, and God forbid have their elbows on the table, and maybe toss a bit of food to the dog under the table, it might freak you out a bit.

Eh, that sauce gets everywhere.

Though I am a little baffled about a more general phenomenon - what the hell is it with candidates eating in public view anyways? They shovel down mountains of god awful swill and have to look like they enjoy it.  **nononono*

Of course they bloody well eat - they are human. (Rubio possibly excepted.)

Having said that, Kasich does go at it like a man on a mission though. Least the clips I've seen.

Donaldus Minimus calling out John Kasich (quick, someone come up with a good nickname on the jerk, I'm parched!)
on his food manners may be just about the only thing to respect about him these days, granted that his tongue
is no more civil than Mr. Kasich's apparent public dining style. Remember that, because I don't sing Donaldus Minimus's
praises about just about anything very often, if at all. And his campaign style has done nothing but to suggest himself
as the last upon whom I'd call for counsel about civilised behaviours.

It isn't just the silver spoon crowd (or, in The Donald's case, those who were born with silver feet in their mouths)
who were taught once upon a time that a good meal was more than just shoving it into your trap until your trap couldn't
hold anymore and you had a hugely visible lump in your throat when the food went down. Popeye the Sailor downing a
can of spinach in a cartoon was amusing. (And when most of us were children, we knew better. [Didn't we?]) John
Kasich shoveling his mouth full of whatever slop he was shoveling into his mouth was a slob.

I'm not speaking from a perch atop some platinum tower. I wasn't exactly born into poverty, but it wouldn't
have been unfair to say I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth and adopted as a baby by parents who could
afford to feed me with a stainless steel spoon. Until, of course, I was old enough to learn how to use eating utensils.
There was no debate in our house. You ate the proper way at the table, or you starved for the time being, whether
it was legitimate finger food or a full course meal.

I once asked my parents, cleverly enough, where the next dinner party was, then. That'd teach me. They
took me to one, thrown by friends of theirs. I was six years old and awkward enough as it was, but I knew
a small something of dinner parties. (One or another set of friends of theirs was throwing one regularly.) Now I
had wisecracked myself right into my first such one. Somehow, some way, I passed my circumcision of fire
(what did you expect a Jewish guy to describe, his baptism of fire?) at that rather large, somewhat festive,
and (when the mashed turnips came out, in this case) rather intimidating table.

Mine were not the most democratic parents alive. But they never again counter-challenged me when asking
questions regarding food. On the other hand, the childhood cliche (addressed to the particularly unruly), "Dress
you up but can't take you anywhere," meant something deeper. What was the point of dressing up a pig, with
or without lipstick? So, allowing that in the early to mid 1960s money wasn't half as inflated as today and
a family of four whose breadwinner earned passable if not extravagant bread could do so at reasonable
intervals, my parents were frequent believers in dining out. It gave them a distinct pleasure and, while they
were at it, imposed a few reasonable exercises in manners upon their two young sons.

They didn't come by this pretentiously or as any kind of yuppie (oops---in those years we would have said
"upwardly mobile" and not even touched the idea of a pun off the name of a band of radical bean-heads)
affectation. My father was the son of a New York City police officer (in a generation during which "New York's
Finest" really did mean something, if you didn't count the Harry Gross scandal of 1950 (http://www.nytimes.com/1986/04/05/nyregion/the-lonely-death-of-a-man-who-made-a-scandal.html?pagewanted=all)); my mother, the
daughter of a New York City jeweler. Men's men, the pair of them. Married to stout hearted daughters of
Sarah. They didn't come from money new, old, or ancient.

My grandparents never discouraged the pleasure of food. (My maternal grandmother's kitchen would have
put the toniest restaurant's cuisine to absolute shame; my mother's, almost equal, emphasis on almost.)
They would have been appalled at today's apparent mission (consecrated by whom?) to rid our world, or at
least our meal tables, of everything other than officially sanctioned nutrition. My two grandfathers died in
1972 and 1984, respectively, but I'd bet my maternal grandmother demanded the Nobel Peace Prize for Julia
Child in 1990, when that engaging chef said plainly and factually (http://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/20/garden/julia-child-boiling-answers-her-critics.html), "[People] are no longer enjoying food the
way they once did, and the dinner table is becoming a trap rather than a pleasure."

As my grandparents taught their children, who taught their own children in turn, a mannered meal table
was not a trap but a kind of liberation, and a mannered diner was in fact a kind of liberated man or woman.
Liberated from what? How does from the beast strike you. Did we humans evolve in order to devolve? G.K.
Chesterton once asked whether it indicated "civilisation" if a cannibal learned to use a knife and a fork. What
would he call a human who learned (probably not at his parents' or grandparents' meal tables) to eat like a
beast?

I don't know John Kasich personally at all, never mind having experienced a meal with him elsewhere. At least
two generations of nannies---official, merely professional, and otherwise---have had it backward. They carp
about what we eat and care nothing about how we do it. They fear our poisoned bodies and don't give a
thought to our poisoned civilities. "The abolition of ancien-regime etiquette by French revolutionaries was all
very well," Judith (Miss Manners) Martin once said, lecturing at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government,
"but who wants to watch a bunch of revolutionaries eat dinner?"

Apparently, Mr. Kasich and his defenders think the civilised dinner table was a trap designed to emasculate
men who have been emasculated by many things but not their parents' and grandparents' civilised
meals. Since I reject nannyism in any way, shape, or form (I parented my own son, I taught my son,
I didn't just object or repel things for the perverse pleasure of carping), I am obliged to say it simply
and, God help me, democratically:

If someone wants to eat like a pig, feel free. If someone can't hold a belch or cover their mouths if it proves
impossible, or use a legitimate napkin in place of your shirt sleeve, or save his or her flatulence for the
appropriate closed bathroom, that's their business entirely. Just don't expect to see me at their dinner tables.
Or them at mine.

Though I am a little baffled about a more general phenomenon - what the hell is it with candidates eating in public view anyways? They shovel down mountains of god awful swill and have to look like they enjoy it.  **nononono*   ...
Having said that, Kasich does go at it like a man on a mission though. Least the clips I've seen.
I heard about one minute of Limbaugh yesterday and that's exactly what he said, that people in the public eye should try not to be seeing eating at all because it's so difficult to look good doing it. What little I've seen of Kasich's dining habits, though, I must say remind me of what someone once said of a video clip in which the actress Sarah Jessica Parker was chewing gum:  "She chews gum like it's her job."

Wow.  Trump certainly knows how to go for the policy jugular.  Too bad he wasn't there to advise Bush I on the politics of throwing up on the Japanese prime minister!

Maybe we've finally found something political Saint Donnie is good at:  dining protocol.

Wipe food off their shin?

You know, I only mistype a word so I can get the satisfaction of knowing a Trumpster had read my comments. And you certainly do. Maybe one of us will post something someday that will finally get through and wake you up to what you are about to do this election - vote for a NY Liberal.         Naaaagh! What was I thinking?

If Trump's penis is up for grabs, why shouldn't Kasich's eating habits be also?

You can guarantee they are one and the same.....

You'd both lose that guarantee. ;) I'm no less appalled by men in the ladies' room than
by humans eating with the style of beasts or anyone turning the dinner table (or the
breakfast and lunch tables, for that matter) into traps.

Well, I guess I should have included a caveat that there are exceptions to that guarantee.  ^-^

Say......... a few weeks ago, my husband and I went to the brand new Blues Museum in St. Louis, on its opening day.  I HIGHLY recommend it if you haven't been there.  Because it was opening day, we were treated to live blues performances while we were there.

Good stuff!

Given the number of affairs Trump has had, this statement has more truth in it than you know.

It's AWESOME!  I can't believe we got there on opening day.  Our daughter lives in St Louis, and we were talking about getting there when we visited her last summer, but had no idea we'd be there the first day!

It's beautifully laid out and extremely informative, but I have to break this bad news to you......

Writ large on a big wall are these words:

The BLUES had a baby and they named it ROCK AND ROLL  - Muddy Waters

Might have figured HAPPY2BE A DEGENERATE SUPPORTER would post an old video of GWB. Bush has admitted he had a drinking problem when he was younger and that he then stopped drinking all together.
Totally no class just like his cult leader.

Even people who used to have class lose it when they jump in the tank for Donald.

I don't know what HAPPY was like before, but he now thinks Trump is Jesus and those of us who oppose him hypocritical Pharisees.

It's downright scary........
