I tend to agree that the populace had indeed fallen in love with him...or at least serious like.
You have said a great truth ... about the top three issues. When was the last time you heard a politician - in the middle of a speech - say I love you, I love, we love you - and then pick up his thought? That to me was the first extraordinary thing I noted about Trump - the connection at his rallies. I know this new toned version is much needed going forth, but there are some things about the old Trump that I am going to miss a lot. Maybe he'll find the right balance.
I hope so
