Trump needs to start toning down his criticism of Republicans. Instead he should direct most of his critism towards Obama, Hillary, and the failed Democrat policies that have created the humongous debt, millions out of work, an increase in welfare/poverty, and a decrease in income for the middle class.
You do have a point. But OTOH it would seem that Trump is exposing ALL OF THEM, GOP and RAT. So if its working, let it be. I used to be so excited about Cruz even tho all he MIGHT be able to do is slow the rate of destruction to our country. But if there is possibly someone who has the ability to turn it all around,....sorry Ted..
Ted Cruz just played it too safe. I don’t think therefore that I can count on him to be bold later if he’s not bold now.
I agree with that. But it has to work both ways. The criticisms of Trump, from many Republicans and many of them very unfair, also have to be toned down.
I would love to see a truce among Republicans. But you know it's not going to happen. It's all wishful thinking.
“Trump needs to start toning down his criticism of Republicans.

Why? Today he’s running against Republicans for the nomination who are attacking him. His job is to build himself up and tear down the opposition so he can win the nomination. If he wins the nomination it will be time for him to go after the Democrat nominee with even greater energy.
As to the other Republican candidates, if they can’t respond effectively to Trump, one of two things is true:
1) They aren’t prepared to take on Hillary, Biden, Warren, or whoever else the Democrats put up as the candidate in 2016. The lies and distortions the Democrats and their friends in the media spew will be far beyond anything Donald Trump can dish out. If they can’t fight Trump they are not going to win in prime time.
2) They don’t have core convictions and therefore aren’t able to passionately articulate a viable vision for the country. Candidates who repeat what political consultants and pollsters tell them to say don’t have the intellect, self confidence, and conviction to be successful in the job. We don’t need another George W. Bush who spent his last four years in office being slapped around daily by Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Wasserman-Shultz. If Bush had real conviction and passion he’d have fought the good fight. Instead he stood around with the deer in the headlights look. When you don’t know where you are going, any road will take you there. He took us directly to the door of hell.
In 2016 people are looking for a candidate with the desire to take on the real problems facing America. From what I’ve seen Trump is prepared to take on immigration, trade, national defense and the deficit. The rest of them, with the possible exception of Cruz, are still poll testing their messages. The political consultant focus group tested campaign is not going to be the road to victory for the GOP nominee in 2016. Trump is showing the way. In fact, didn’t he fire his political consultant?
