I see the Dirty Tricks squads are already out. It’s going to get ugly until things get sorted out.

Yes, but two big differences this time:

1) GOP field is very big. Can't isolate and destroy the way they used to if it was only Gingrich or Perry;

2) The Donald. While he may attack his own often, nevertheless his relentless scorched earth against enemies has rubbed off on several other candidates (Jindal, Fiorina) and they are less likely to just take it.

Now, Carson is a soft-spoken guy and I don't know if he's ready for the rough and tumble of politics.

Oh, and don't think this is coincidence coming off his trip to Harlem and making inroads with blacks about abortion.
