These other candidates are soon going to be forced to take off the gloves vs Trump. I don’t know if it will happen next week at the debate, but they are going to have to start calling him to account on his historical positions on moral and political issues, as well as some of his business dealings. What has his position been on abortion? What about the hiring practices of his construction units? How many illegals are they employing? If Iowa and SC republican voters become aware of his history in these areas, they might not be so enamored with Trump.
If they are like me, it won't matter...The issue is not Trump...The issue is the immediate future of this Nation...Trump is on my side...The rest of them have the mega-rich globalist donors to please...

Most don’t have the guts to do so. Trump has the bullhorn and a blowtorch to go with it, which can burn you up in a flash. Those who have tried to date have learned the hard lesson. He does not back down. If you want to play ‘nasty’ he is ready to spar with you anytime anywhere. It’s nice to have a narcissist who believes in America for once.
Trump has shown to be immune to these types of attacks, at least so far. People seem to grasp that he is a businessman, first and foremost, in a highly competitive and cut-throat field, and probably has his fair share of skeletons. People also seem to grasp that he does not live and breathe political ideology and theory, and are tolerant of inconsistencies over time, and are not expecting a polished candidate.
What they are expecting is a fighter, someone who wins against tough opponents, cares for this country above his own political standing, and owes nobody in the DC cartel anything. And this is why the removal of the gloves you refer to is more likely to have a positive effect on his candidacy than a negative one.
Do you really think the also-rans are immune to the same tactic?
Particularly when there's no "gentleman's agreement" not to show yours if you don't show mine....

You’re probably right, and that’s what the primaries are for - to vet candidates. The problem for Republicans is that they do a much better job attacking each other than they ever do attacking the real opposition in the other party. Trump has been one exception to that, and that he is using a no punches pulled approach to Hillary and the other opposition is exactly why he’s being successful right now. The others still don’t seem to get that though, or maybe don’t want to.
The problem is these little wussies with the exception of Cruz have no clue how to fight. That’s whats wrong with the republican party in general.
The other candidates will not take out Trump. IMO the way Trump can lose is if he strays into the weeds too badly. And that would be his fault so I would have no sympathy.
The 2016 GOP nomination is Trump’s to lose.
