The only thing that could really hurt Trump now would be to get squishy on the stuff that got him where he is.
I think a lot of Always Trumpers will be shocked at how soft Trump will go if he believes it serves his purposes.
I know Trump loves America, but he lacks principles. Wait until he is elected and then starts compromising left and right with Democrats.
Indeed! The only thing that will stop a world wide caliphate is the will to stop a world wide caliphate.

He did not soften anything. He always said it was a TEMPORARY ban until they figured out what was going on.
If you figure out how to handle it, then even the TEMPORARY ban is unnecessary.
Reject any applicant without a thorough background and religious history and local national government approval.
That’s a start, and I didn’t even have to enact the ban.
“It’s a temporary ban. It hasn’t been called for yet,” Mr Trump said on Wednesday. “This is just a suggestion until we find out what’s going on.” That doesn’t sound like softening.
Don’t go wobbly on us now.
Banning Muslims was never the point. It was a negotiation tactic to get people talking about the migrant vetting process.
Which, since this is the Obama admin, it’s likely done in an irresponsibly lackadaisical half-assed manner. Esp. since it concerns Americans’ security.
He has moderated nothing. In this article he is quoted as saying. “it was a suggestion” and that is exactly right. No action to pass Legislation on the proposal (suggestion) has been put forth so at this time a suggestion is all it is.
He reiterated it was temporary. All he really said here and again last night on FNC is there would be exceptions and cited the Londonistan Mayor as one of them.
No, no he didn’t
Don’t soften. Just don’t.
We don’t want the dangerous unvetted muzzies that Obama continues to import and distribute across our America against our will.
He has said he wants 100,000 in here before his term ends.
We will become another Europe, where car bombings, mass attacks and killings, and rapes will be an everyday occurrance.
Consider the source; BBC. That runs up a big red flag in my mind.
Trump for President.
clarifying, not softening.
his words have repeatedly been taken out of context and exaggerated by the rationally impaired.
He and Rudy will come up with legislation that is implementable, constitutional, and that works. He has stood firm in declaring that the problem is real, and we must be vigilant, and “find out what is going on,” first. It may have to focus mostly on undocumented folks from problem regions (regions Obama/Hilary and yes partially the Bushes have destroyed), in particular, along with methods to keep tabs on who is let in, and to what reasonable and manageable number can be allowed in. common sense stuff that our gov’t doesn’t have a handle on, because they don’t have our interests at heart.
Trump softens stance on Muslim ban
Trump says immigration stance negotiable
Trump is for raising federal minimum wage
Working out swell so far
Trump could “soften” his stance on the temporary ban (which I don’t think he has) any number of ways and he’d still be miles ahead of the other candidates (Hillary, Bernie, etc.), who basically want to open the floodgates. He’s the only one with the guts to at least be talking about it. The others are taking the usual appeasement stand, and all that got us was 9/11 and the other atrocities.
This is the BBC claiming that Trump has to ‘deal’ with Ryan and other more ‘agreeable’ politicians in the USA.
Trump has said repeatedly that his proposal to ban Muslims is only temporary until we know who is who, meaning we have a way to vet Muslim visitors to the USA.
The BBC is joining in with their leftist echo chamber that Americans are not so ‘crazy’ as to actually embrace Trump, they are trying to keep their own assured that American nationalism is overblown.
Trump will not waver because he remembers the Towers coming down on 9-11. He is going to reestablish real screening at immigration checkpoints and port of entries.

He needs to stop talking to Giuliani and Christie. Call Jeff Sessions NOW.
The Donald is a deal maker. He'll compromise anything to do a deal, add to that he has no core principles and you got a perfect tool for the likes of Schumer and Reid. Reagan compromised, and he did make mistakes, like S1mpson/Mazzoli, but he kept his core principles in mind. When you have no principles its like setting off on a journey without maps or GPS, you'll go in whatever direction seems easiest.
The Donald is a showman and a marketeer, especially for himself, I'm just worried that he'll be the perfect lump of clay for the leftist serpents that inhabit DC. When things go wrong and the people get angry, they'll slither back into congress throwing stones, it'll be Trump that catches all the blame.
Theres multiple ways to say the same thing. People are grasping at every little word change to describe a position has changed
