Absolutely not, we cannot have our two best choices casting slurs at one another!

Is mudslingling ever a good idea? Best case scenario, you still have mud on your hands.

Honestly this group of GOP is some of the worst candidates I've seen in a long time. Trump, really?

Ben Carson stops playing nice with Donald Trump

The former neurosurgeon has enjoyed a polling surge among GOP primary voters in Iowa and nationally.

Taking jabs is a part of politics. Other than that, I'm not sure how "playing the game" will hurt him.

I am totally in the tank for Dr. Ben, but he needs to be cautious in responding to what I consider baiting. He wants to lower the much higher ground that Ben Carson has to his level.

In Trumps world, that picture of Jesus behind them would have Trumps head on the shoulders. Carson's had a quiet storm of a campaign so far, and him staying out of the fracas would be his strongest selling point. Now when the states begin the voting process next year, the question will be can he sustain himself when it gets to where the niceties are gone and it's every man for himself?

No. My view is that no candidate should make derogatory comments about another candidate. Just the facts. Personal attacks are bad regardless of who is talking about whom.

SPC Andrew Griffin He has too. This is a Political race that is what they do. He does need to keep in mind though that everything he says will become fodder. http://medcitynews.com/2015/05/ben-carson-quote-gop-republican-presidential-candidate/
