Trump has been very shrewd so far. And I noticed after winning South Carolina he did the smart thing and let his wife and daughter speak. he is already starting to smooth over his bombastic persona. he will soon start his slide to the middle in a general election type mode. But first he will have to go after Rubio- because Rubio is his only threat now. I imagine he will start the " He is not legal to run thing like he did to Cruz, or he is a fake Christian , or some personal attack on his physical body or mannerisms. etc. That is his pattern. But he is smartly starting to soften his image, and will go much more full bore mainstream as soon as he dispatches Rubio.

Then in the general - we will really finally find out what he stands for- What he has stood for most of his adult life, or what he has said this past two years while prepping to run for the Republican nomination.

But I have to give him big props - he has been a much better politician than the others running.

Rubio will be the easiest for Trump to destroy.

Because immigration is Rubio’s Achilles heel, which just happens to be Trumps strong point.

It is my belief that Trump always wanted Rubio to be the last man standing against him, because he has always known Rubio would be the easiest to take out while simultaneously boosting himself.

You don’t think that either Trump or any of his staff are bright enough to go after Rubio over his relationship with La Raza?

That is more likely to be the Avenue to take out illegal immigration boy.

What I like is when he just — top cat style*— kind of rolls his eyes and has that “Can you believe this guy?” expression on his face. That is very compelling to voters.

*”top Cat” is the cat, in a household of cats, who just IS the lead cat. He doesn’t have to do anything to prove it. He just IS. Other cats who wish they were the top will be trying all kinds of aggressive maneuvers, hissing, putting on a big fuss, but the Top Cat will just yawn and roll over. Which infuriates the lesser cats no end. A good example of this is SpongeBob (top cat, just blithely rules) versus Squidward (who is more educated and cultured and assumes HE should be more important, dammit!).
