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.

Who do you think?
Trump already won most of the debates. Why would he be afraid of anyone.
Its just that the nastiness hurts everyones image except Carson, who asked someone to attack him.
Trump needs to lower his disapproval numbers and the RNC wants to defeat him by a mud slinging contest.
Fox hates him because Murdoch is the head of open border groups.
Trump could stick it to Fox and show how with courage you can walk away from an ambush.
Good!
Good!
Trump is up in Fl a lot, over 20%, Rubio is going to lose big.
Ohio, after not winning a single contest today Kasich can’t win Ohio. So says a friend of mine who held elective office in Ohio.
People like winners and Trump is running the table.
I certainly can't argue with that. Trump is reaping what he sowed.
Mud slinging is an American campaign tradition. The difference here is mud slinging is the only tool in Trump’s kit.
Give us our Reality TV!!! That is what we want as American Citizens.
The more it looks like the Gong Show or Geraldo chunking chairs, the better we like it.
Issues just muddy the waters.
We want a Reality TV host for President!!!!!
If Trump couldn’t engage in personal attacks he wouldn’t have anything to say, he keeps stepping in it when he tries to discuss policy in any detail.
Was he talking in his sleep?
Im not saying he would be “afraid.” Just a mistake.
Good call Ben
#19 after 3 months of calling everyone every insulting descriptor he could come up with?
That’s funny.
Hugging Cruz or Rubio is a good way to get a dagger in the back. I don’t see any point in more debates at all.
Another debate? I heard Trump may not go.
So if you use “4th grade language” - even though you have graduated from a pretty good business school - there is something wrong with that? That argument is one the Democrats have used to denigrate conservatives. Obama sometimes uses big words, but does that make him any more intelligent or wise? Methinks not.
Words have one purpose: to communicate ideas to someone else. It does not matter how you do it, just that it gets done.
It is only going to get more brutal.
Ben, if you can’t stand the heat, don’t get into the ring.
Yeh I think the courtesy ship sailed last week. Thursday is going to be a brawl. One big pile on to get Trump.
Also, Trump knows that you can't trust Raphael. If he's got a dirty trick he's going to use it. No rules have prevented that so far. Just look at Iowa, not even counting all his dirty tricks in other primary states. Raphael will do anything, and he is under ENORMOUS pressure to deliver on myriad promises to Goldman Sachs, Big Oil, Club of Growth, U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Silicon valley, Robert Mercer, and Donor Class contributors all over the place. And his wife is involved in these unfulfilled promises, unlike any other wife of any other candidate. Heidi was PROMOTED to Managing Director for what they could deliver (open borders, TPP and more agreements like them, etc.) now on the phone 80 hours a day calling her contacts in New York Banks (according to her own description of what she does in her husband's campaign), there is no telling WHAT she has promised. After working for years (excluding on five years during which she worked for the Bush White House), she's worked for JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, and Goldman Sachs, and all her connections are at the very highest levels. She ain't asking THEM for "five dollars, ten dollars, hundred dollars, boom" like the rap remix of their begathon commercials goes.
80 hours a WEEK, of course. My bad.
