HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump's chief lieutenants told skeptical Republican leaders Thursday that the GOP front-runner has been "projecting an image" so far in the 2016 primary season and "the part that he's been playing is now evolving" in a way that will improve his standing among general election voters. The message, delivered behind closed doors in a private briefing, is part of the campaign's intensifying effort to convince party leaders Trump will moderate his tone in the coming months to help deliver big electoral gains this fall, despite his contentious ways.

"Trump watching over the years suggests that what motivates Trump and make up his defining traits is to be, say and do whatever he needs to in order to get what he wants"

Yes. It's interesting to note that his stated position today on cross-gender bathrooms was based on the costs to his businesses to modify bathrooms. I think that's his only true principle: Make money for Trump.

AP....take it with a grain.

I was listening to FBN when this ‘breaking news’ broke...Charles Payne said that the Trump campaign said it would (paraphrasing) be basically moving into the next phase of the campaign.

What folks (bots) are failing to mention...Trump is NOT an experienced politician. That’s what MILLIONS of Americans love about him. No smokey back room trickery....WYSIWYG.

He’s fought off his competitors quite amazingly, one by one.

He’s investing in team players to take this to the next level.

Good for Trump.

America has done more good for the world than any country anywhere eve and needs no forgiveness.

If we had 1 minute of silence for every baby killed in the womb in America, since Roe vs Wade...... we would have 100 years of silence.

America needs forgiveness from God.... even if JPJones and King Trumpy don't think so.

Trump is doing fine. The ones who look bad are the cruz/Establishment/Media/Democrat crowd failing with their latest regurgitation of screaming “Trump is a liberal!!!” and getting caught out being dishonest on it, working together on it and rehashing the same old crap that has not worked yet.

Trump sealed the deal today, He offered to help fund the down ticket GOP. That’s Game, Set and Match. All them #neverTrump delegates get new orders to support Trump instead of Cruz :)

Trump is going to eat Hillary Clinton alive in the general election despite what will be the dirtiest , most negative and most deceitful coordinated Democrat / media character assassination campaign in history.

Its the only way she can win and Donald Trump is the Republican who can survive

and Trump can???????????????????

WTF is with that?

Cruz can beat the bitch you know why?? Because he is a real deal conservative. Trump cannot, that is why he is pivoting left at this juncture (premature since he is not the nominee) in the hopes of closing the distance between her and him. A vote for Trump is a vote for Hillary. BTW Trump would never say a vote for Cruz is a vote for Hillary because it is not true. Open your eyes man.

They have a recording of the meeting. Surely this was with Trump's knowledge.

He's seeing if his loyalists will swallow THIS flavor of Kool Ade.

Only ones swallowing cRuzAid are the cRuzer’s.

Trump is entering the next phase of his campaign....where he doesn’t have to fight off the losers/those mathematically eliminated, any longer. He can focus on Hellary and winning the election.

“Trump cannot, that is why he is pivoting left”

Haven’t heard Ted talk about abolishing the IRS lately have you? Or the other 4 Departments and 25 agencies he said he would abolish? Maybe they figured they wore that one out.

Ted’s got a lot of mileage out of his red meat parties, but he’s already starting to offer a new menu. Get ready for some “filet mignon”. You don’t think Jeff Roe has been telling the RNC not to worry about the down ballot, his guy will “evolve”.

-—“Evolving” is what you do when you have no core principles and convictions

It’s like saying you won’t stand for a contested convention and then saying that contested convention is coming!
