Turns out that the Republican establishment knows that Trump’s opinions have changed. The liberal media can’t get enough. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTtD-2_VgTQ

"When I'm president, I'm a different person," Trump told another audience of idolaters this weekend. "I can be the most politically correct person you've ever seen."

I don't know how Trump could 'give up' on the right when he was never really a part of it in the first place.

He's showing his true colors, people. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

I think Trump has potential to be great only if he goes directly to the people as he is capable of over establishment stagnation.

Mr. Trump has always been a pragmatist. The plastic skins of Democrats or Republicans never fit him.
He want America to be richer and safer for everyone, not just the elites.

I have always felt that a politician is to be judged by the animosities he excites among his opponents.

He will only get so many crossover votes. He has to have a big conservative turn out to win in November. The GOPE will be useless in this election and actually a detriment to a possible Trump win. Trumps behavior toward Cruz is politics but it is getting to the point of childish. He is going to need those former Cruz voters to win in November. He may have to seek Cruz or a staunch conservative in the VP slot to shore up his right flank if this continues.

Of course. Too much light for lemming eyes.

More important than his switching, is what was the catalyst that caused the switches. That is something we will likely not be able to know now, although could become very visible in a Trump POTUS.

I do like many of the things Trump says. It connects with many strong frustrations, but I am also able to recognize that following emotion and feelings can often result in not such good life decisions.

At this juncture, America must either have a sharp redirection back closer to the intent of the Constitution and the Founders and away from the cronyism and “dealing” with anti-American progressives that will destroy America’s important liberties and individual freedoms.

Both Trump and Cruz will kick some of the correct targets. Trump, I am afraid will just change the faces of the cronyism and continuing “dealing” with the progressives. Cruz will de-power the cronies and progressives from top to bottom.

Which is right, right now? I say Cruz.

You apparently do not actually listen to Mr. Trump.

You would be wrong about that.

Hearing what one wants to hear is far different from listening.
