No. The focus should not be personal but ideological. The candidate worth electing cares more about the principles than about his own power grab. He would never harm the cause by trashing an ally just for personal gain. If he would, he is not worthy of the position of the people’s top representative.
I dont think he will go personal on Ted with his own skeletons waiting.
But if they do not go at it ideologically, one of them does not want to win. they have to. Unless they come out now and say “We are a team and running together”. And I don’t see that happening as both want the big chair.
Your thoughts = my thoughts, exactly.
