[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC on Super Tuesday hyped John Kasich as the moderate hope, the only man occupying the “dignity lane.” Brian Williams touted the Ohio governor as bearing “the label as every Democrat’s favorite Republican in 2016.” Analyst Nicolle Wallace said the Kasich campaign feels “like they are running their own race. And that is the only Republican campaign about which you could say that. They have not changed anything about the candidate or their campaign, because of Donald Trump. And that alone puts them in a league of their own.” Rachel Maddow promoted Kasich as "running in this dignified way. Staying away from Donald Trump, essentially running as a general election moderate.” Eugene Robinson marveled, “Back in the day, [Kasich] was thought of an arch-conservative. And now he is a moderate in today’s Republican Party.”
