I don’t like this. He would do better to give credit where credit is due. Just like the candidates who refuse to attack Trump are doing better than the ones who do... its fine for Trump to counter-attack the other candidates, but his counters need to make sense. Usually they do; in this case it doesn’t.
“I don’t like this. He would do better to give credit where credit is due.”
McCain tried that in 2008 by saying that “Obama would be a fine president”, or something close. See where that got him.
