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.
Even as his team pressed Trump’s case, he raised fresh concern among some conservatives by speaking against North Carolina’s “bathroom law,” which directs transgender people to use the bathroom that matches the sex on their birth certificates. Trump also came out against the federal government’s plan to replace President Andrew Jackson with the civil-rights figure Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.
The developments came as the GOP’s messy fight for the White House spilled into a seaside resort in south Florida. While candidates in both parties fanned out across the country before important primary contests in the Northeast, Hollywood’s Diplomat Resort & Spa was transformed into a palm-treed political battleground.
Trump’s newly hired senior aide, Paul Manafort, made the case to Republican National Committee members that Trump has two personalities: one in private and one onstage.

Authenticity - Not So Much !!
We always knew the public Trump is not the private Trump. Not so with Mrs. Bill, or is it?
Now why don’t you add the rest of what he said so it is in context?
If not I will start a threat quoting Cruz reading Dr. Seuss and claim he is a plagarist.
Manafort a GOPe hack?
He’s been pretending he’s a Republican.
So has 95% of the GOP establishment.
DUPLICATE
Trump has stated on numerous occasions that he will start acting more presidential the closer we get to November.
if the hag gets to the WH, this country is effed. If Trump gets to the WH and then betrays the people, this country is effed. The future of the US clearly rides on the next person in the WH.
Unlike the bad acting of Cruz
I did the search thingy, sorry if a duplicate.
No comment on the subject mater just a jab at the opposition? How very Saul Alinsky of you.
I know that the anti-Trump forces are trying to say that Trump has no principles, but I don’t read it saying that. It’s true that any candidate talks to the general electorate differently from how they talk to the Republican electorate. It doesn’t mean they change their views but they change their tone to speak to a different audience.
>>> >>> “He’s been pretending he’s a Republican.”
>>> So has 95% of the GOP establishment.
Bingo. And given that, I follow the Mark Twain school of politics:
Politicians are like diapers...they need to be changed often and for the same reason.
So hes acting more Presidential just like he said he would after defeating Cruz. Another Nothing Burger from the establishment’s Globalist camp.
Lol!
And the report cited in this thread has Paul Manafort saying Donald is two-faced in a ‘closed-door private briefing’. Yeah, right.
And this flies in the face of the fact that Trump is pulling in millions of new voters that haven’t voted in a long time or not at all.
Trump reportedly will “improve his standing among general election voters” even though he’s pulling more general election voters than any GOPe member could dream to do, right.
Article: “the part that he’s been playing is now evolving” in a way that will improve his standing among general election voters. "
Manafort is talking about lowering his negatives, working down the ballot to get Rs elected, and showing a distinction between Hillary vs Trump. It's about his demeanor like less controversial tweets and stuff. Hillary has the bad character problem hard to shake off.
Like, ‘Alright Lyin’ Ted, you’re done.’
