Republican hopeful Ben Carson has gone on behavior patrol. He has called for a meeting of all the GOP candidates on Thursday, prior to the 11th presidential debate on Thursday in Detroit, to be aired by Fox News.

"I am confident that the five remaining candidates can rise above the sophomoric attacks of past encounters and have a serious discussion about substantive issues and how we will lead our nation forward toward a more prosperous and secure future.

That horse has left the barn.
Ben’s a little too late to call for civility. Thursday nights debate is going to get even nastier than last weeks. But I gotta respect the man. Ben is a good guy.
Is Ben gonna drop out yet?
“John Kasich chimed in and suggested the candidates each hug one another before the debate.”
Ben’s idea is reasonable. Kasich’s group hug is silly.
If Ben gets his way it will hurt Trump.
Attacking Trump has consistently helped him.
The debates don’t seem to be making any difference to the electorate so might as well be nice.
No, but he's about due to take another week off to change his clothes.

sounds like a good idea
I too would like to see a cessation of sophomoric behaviors
America is at great risk , our candidates need to reflect a genuine capacity to be able to cope with and deal with that .
One day we will all wake up and things will never be the same . Many will never awake on that day . We owe it to them , in advance , to be ready .
America needs to be led by warriors , not morons , not politicians , not lawyers . Warriors . Prepare thou thy swords (now!)
I think Kasich may have spent too much time with Rubio at foam parties, too!
It is no wonder some of them are rightly refered to as pussies!!
Ben Carson is a good man and gentleman. It sometimes seems like he’s the adult in the room. I know he won’t get the nomination, but I do hope the pick gives him a job as head of Health and Human Services or Surgeon General.
Marco suggested that the best way to get people to loosen up is to have the meeting in a room filled with foam.
It may be silly, but so much easier to stab another in the back. Bad idea said this frustrated, fed up voter
I think his confidence is misplaced.
Trump is not capable of this. He has not yet been able to rise above the immature insults. He has not been able to discuss the issues with any substance. Trump doesn't have it in him. He's just the wrong person.
Anyone who signed on for this many debates must be a masochist as there is no upside, none.
Here’s an idea! They should each agree to mention Ben Carson in every comment they make, that way he will get more time than anyone to reply, and tie up 2/3 of the debate time!
True, but its the kind of behavior that should be aspired to.
I’m a Trumper and I’d love him to join Carson in an attempt to elevate these mosh pits into something less cringe worthy.
No way can anyone tame TRUMP! He can’t talk issues so he must attack
