I am a solid supporter of Trump and with the Lord’s help he will win...
But to have a person take another person down with pen and paper is lowing our American standards...there are better ways of making your point...and this was no different than a ‘tar and feathering’ of another human being...
We Americans have higher standards than that...

While YOU might have higher standards, and I might - or might not - have higher standards, "Americans" have generally had low standards in these matters at least since Thomas Jefferson drank the French poison. My dad taught American History for 30+ years, and he always said that Americans really don't mind vituperation as long as they think it will work for "their guy." FWIW, anything said about Ben Carson so far pales into nearly transparent milquetoast blandness compared to what was said either about or on behalf of Andrew Jackson.
The powers that be are playing for bigger stakes, have a bigger bag of tricks, and are interconnected to an extent that would not have been possible in years past, but in may ways, the dirty tricks and the language are not nearly as robust as in the "good old days." Rick Wilson and Kevin Williamson (both nominally Republicans) have come close to the old, crude ways in their remarks about Trump (and I think Melania should be allowed to give Kevin a swift kick in the slats), but all of what is going on with Carson in the past 48 hours? It is pretty tame stuff, though not without benefit to the GOP-e.
Watch who benefits from this. In the long run, it will not be any of the "outsiders."
