McCain did not want to even use Obama's middle name. He failed to go after Obama's connections to Frank Marshall Davis, Ayers, Rev Wright, Farakhan, Rezo, and communist front groups in Chicago. Romney played the gentleman in his attacks on Obama.
We either fight to win or go home. The GOP is dying and another loss will kill it. They are not an opposition party. The Dems play hardball. Harry Reid had no problem in using the nuclear option to get Obama's nominees approved. The Dems used IRS to go after the Tea Party. Obamacare was passed thru bribes and legislative tricks.
Read the Starr Report and see what kind of behavior went on in the WH. Bill Clinton was only the second President ever to be impeached. One-third of the voters today have no idea about these scandals.
Elections are not won on issues today. We have entered the era of tribal politics and our tribe is getting smaller and smaller.

“Trump fights like a Democrat. The Reps try to stay above the fray and lose. The Dems have won the popular vote in five out of the last 6 elections.”
Well, I wouldn’t put it quite like that.
Trump uses the Democrats’ Alinsky tactics against them and does it better than them.
Bringing up Bill’s history is right for Trump because he’ll bring it up in a way that the ineffective Republicans never did. He’s looking to plant doubt, not to prove anything to a Senate or court. He was called sexist so it counterpunching in a way the democrats thought Republicans were too cowardly to do. Until now ;)
If Cruz really said the democratic process will show Bill’s history, he’s no different than the politicians if the last few decades who were too cowardly to get their hands dirty and waited for others. (And that other would be the real leader - Trump)
