I'm not certain that Trump needs to attack Carson. While Carson does lead Trump in head to heads, I don't think the race could ever come down to a head to head between Carson and Trump.
Suppose Carson wins Iowa and Trump wins New Hampshire, does that mean every other candidate drops out? No. It will be a messy process, but I think that one establishment candidate emerges as the consensus to save the GOP from the 'barbarians'.
In this scenario, a brokered convention becomes quite likely. Trump will want to have a cordial relationship with Carson and his supporters for the convention. Fighting with Carson would also be counterproductive, because it would play into the hands of the third candidate.
