I believe that Ted Cruz would agree to that if Donald would shut up lying about him.

Ted has tried to keep it on the issues and has not made personal attacks on other candidates.

But I don’t think Trump is psychologically capable of running that kind of campaign.

Trump will viciously attack anyone he thinks is gaining on him and then the next day say, ‘oh, that... I’m over it.’

I agree Ted is mainly trying to focus on the issues.

Trump has to realize he has to change or he is done. If he doesn't change he'll lose more and more voters. People don't like nitpicking, don't like petty, don't like the Tweets, don't like the personal attacks and don't like the junior high bully stuff. Keep it Presidential and both will do fine. Trump can do this and focus on the issues. Ted can too. Both have to think long haul and keep their eye on the Prize. They're just getting started and the have Hillary to deal with plus a country to save. This is serious stuff!

The gravity of the threats we face in on everyone's mind. Let's focus on those. When you don't our anxiety goes up as we see this not only as self defeating and losing votes but a waste of valuable time, seconds actually, that can be devoted to the issues and the campaign. Make the media play to your drummer, not, "Let's you and him fight."

My FRiend, Trump is using the vicious attack because it is from the attack technique as developed by the Alinsky Method in Rules for Radicals. We need to be prepared for it because the DemonRATs have fine tuned it for maximum effectiveness. If we think The Donald is brutal, wait until our candidate get carpet bombed by the MSM and the DemonRAT complex. The only way to fight Alinsky is through a counter attack. Trump, if the candidate, will be well practiced in his counter attack. We will be proud of his effectiveness by then. I think Ted Cruz is getting his apprenticeship in the Alinsky Method through Trump's example.

I think the MSM is trying to characterize Trump's attack mode as being too brutal because they want to neutralize it. They are afraid of it because he is so effective. Trump will need to continue developing it because the DemonRATs will put their game on when they have worked out the Hildebeast problem as she is a sinking POS.
