You know, I wouldn't advise him to go that way.
In my opinion, what cost him the momentum into Texas and Ohio (although it turns out he won Texas) is that he let Clinton set the tone of the discussion. She went negative and he went defensive.
What I want from him is a solid answer to her attacks, coupled with a "there you go again" style response about the culture of negative campaigning and old-style politics. He strayed from that message in the last couple weeks, and it's cost him. Frankly, the fervor I felt a few weeks ago has waned, as I've watched him go point for point and set aside the change/hope talk. I want him back to what worked, what inspired me about him.
