I think "15,000 Haitian immigrants in Springfield in three years" is Moreno's ticket to victory. If Trump's "immigrants are eating cats" quip shines a bright spotlight on Springfield's refugee story, I don't think Moreno objects too loudly. This story features layer upon layer of rage bait for Ohio's largest voter demographic (and Brown's most vulnerable but needed cohort). And the fact that so much of media reporting on this story doesn't even come close to adding up (15,000 Haitians have descended upon a burned-out industrial city that's lost half of its jobs....and have done so to find work), Moreno can quite easily fill in the holes without having to resort to discussing dog and cat consumption.
Not sure. The last I heard he was still unable to run many ads because of the post-primary season timetable and has to outsource it to SuperPACs. Maybe that's changed by now.
The people who will be motivated by "15,000 Haitian immigrants in Springfield in three years" are already voting and are voting Trump.
Everyone else is going to remember nothing except "they're eating dogs and cats."
I fail to see how there's any positive spin on this for Republicans. It's obvious lunatic insanity that repels suburban voters who actually live on the planet Earth and exclusively and entirely motivates racist morons who are not-so-secretly wishing their well-read copy of the Turner Diaries is coming true.
Sure, and he's done it before. The ones Brown can win aren't going to be swayed by some insane lunacy. Basically, I don't think story affects Brown negatively at all. If he loses, it's because Ohio is just a lost cause, not because a lot of Haitians moved into a minor town in the middle of the state.

Has Moreno been going with the cat-eating libel?
Not sure. The last I heard he was still unable to run many ads because of the post-primary season timetable and has to outsource it to SuperPACs. Maybe that's changed by now.
He would have done so in a statement, probably not in an ad. Have you been following his campaign closely?

Are you forgetting that Trump is heavily favored to win Ohio and Brown will likely need to win a substantial number of Trump voters to be reelected?
