calling for him to soften his rhetoric toward women and immigrants… Trump may need to work on his “delivery.”
Yeah, soften it down dude, instead of saying you’re going to drop a piano on them, just mention they may need a little working over with a baseball bat. You know, sound like a moderate.
“Republican” and “policy details” haven’t really gone together for a few cycles. Even ostensible wonks like Ryan just throw a bunch of crap together that falls apart as soon as you start examining it. So what they mean is more like “he’ll use fancier words and memorize a couple dozen facts and names so that he can pretend almost as well as the other candidates.”
Makes sense since everyone in the Republican Congress hates Cruz besides the Freedom Caucus in the House…all 33 of them.
If ANYBODY with an I.Q. north of 60 falls for this lying bag of shit and his “makeovers”, it will be with the enthusiastic “makeover” engineered by the MSM.
Hey…Orson Wells sold fantasy on the radio in the Old Days. Maybe Chuck Todd and Co. can do it on the TeeVee.
I don’t think Trump has enough policy chops to fill the small Gulp cup at a 7/11.
We definitely want to keep irasdad around, but, if Trump wins the general and irasdad has another episode, we have to set our feelings aside and do what is best for our friend.
Well, there was that bit about how they were going to make Mexico pay for the wall – the one where they cited regulations that had been superseded 5 years ago and dealt with casinos instead of money transfer businesses.
As appropriate as that imagery may be, I’d like to hear Democrats refer to “muzzle” every time there is some talk about Trump changing his approach/image/etc. for the general election.
For example:
“Well, they all agreed that he needed to put on a muzzle so he didn’t scare people during the general election, but it falls off now and then.”
Trump may try to act more “Presidential”, although I doubt he can maintain the facade for long; he’s too impulsive and narcissistic to do so. In any event, one would hope that no one will be fooled into thinking that the Trump we’ve been seeing for the last 6-8 months, and for years before that, isn’t the real Trump.
As to policy, it’s clear that he’s ignorant and doesn’t care about it. I expect that any policy positions he now starts to put on his website will be nothing more than traditional Republican policy positions. The only exception will likely be about trade, and there I would expect his “policy” to be nothing more than his usual “we make bad trade agreements and I’ll make great ones”.
For all of his image as a truth-teller and rebel against the GOP establishment, he will be a pretty much straight down-the-line Republican on policy.
