he has changed overnight.
That he is not the same pig he was yesterday?
Fall for it if you want.
To even say he sounds like a democrat is astonishing.

Hopefully he will lose his own base, seeking to recruit new people.

He's already shown everyone what is underneath his hideous mask - an even more hideous one. And so on.

He could shoot a man in Times Square... and then save the guy with CPR... and his supporters (especially FOX) would remember only his brave rescue.

Doesn't matter if he "sounds like a democrat" in a TelePrompTer speech...if he can't stick to a coherent message and he continues to be a bigot and a hater he will not win. He will either lose his base or continue to alienate reasonable non-bigots from sea to shining sea.

Don't get all bent out of shape over one speech. Don't buy into the campaign reset narrative, this reset won't last any longer than the last one.

Think about it...if Romney, a generally inoffensive central-casting republican presidential candidate couldn't win in 2012 against a president whose party was obliterated in the midterms only two years earlier and whose poll numbers were on a downward trend...how the hell is crazy Trump going to win in 2016 when the Democratic Party and the president are polling positively and our nominee is winning soundly in the polls?

Seriously, think about it! Calm down and focus on GOTV not the media driven Trump sideshow of the day! Focus democrats, focus!

Always has been. But he wants power and he knows dems won't buy in to his farce. The best way to get rep primary votes is to be a caricature of what they think they would do or say. He is trying to troll his way to victory.
