I’ve been on the Trump Train almost from the beginning of his campaign. However, since he won Arizona, it’s been a nightmare. First, he took over a week off, then sent the retweet including Heidi Cruz, then the Corey Lewandowski arrest, then the Chris Matthews’ abortion debacle—and then crushing defeat in Wisconsin. Now, after one NY rally, more days in retreat. This from a man who criticizes Romney for vanishing during the General election last time.
I do agree, he needs to listen to Melania and Ivanka. He was magnificent at AIPAC (when he used a teleprompter for the first time). When can we expect to hear the other speeches he has promised?? Too, he does have a plethora of beautiful personal stories to tell of his philanthropic and humanitarian efforts. He got off to a heartwarming start in Wisconsin when the terminally ill former Miss Wisconsin Melissa Young left her hospital bed to attend his rally and testify to how he had reached out to help her and educate her son. She mentioned how he had sent her a handwritten letter and he left the stage to embrace her. She also attended and spoke after Melania at a subsequent rally.
Mr. Trump is a genuinely kind and extraordinarily generous man; I just wish he would convey that and dispense with all the vitriol!!!
His campaign theme speaks to Americans who are angry—but now is the time he needs to shift gears and embody more of a spirit of hope and good will! The main drawing power of Mr. Trump’s campaign for me—as a nigh 56-yr-old lifelong democrat who has known terrorism for my entire adult life—is my fervent belief and trust that he will be able to combat these threats and protect me. I sincerely feel he has the insight to make our country and world safer!! He simply has so much to offer in so many positive ways, it’s a shame he refuses to take the high road.
Finally, as I sit here tonight, bewildered and depressed at the state of his flagging campaign, I pray that we will soon be seeing the Donald Trump depicted in your second photo asap and a great deal less of the first one!

Trump doesn’t know how to do so when faced with anyone that opposes or disagrees with him. He immediately goes into the attack/insult mode and begins his disparaging name calling. How would that work for him in dealing with foreign leaders or the Congress? That’s one of the reasons his unfavorable ratings are yuuuuge.
