He is not going to be a more sober and serious candidate running for president. Trump has a very short attention span. Since he can't articulate a vision or articulate policy on immigration, jobs, energy, American first foreign policy and trade, other than short bursts of a slogan or two, he has to fill the vacuum with other things. Those things are "my poll numbers, my wealth, my great company", insults and unprovable charges against others. That is Trump. He is 70 and won't change just because there is a general election on the calendar.
It shows how extraordinarily weak Hillary is as a candidate that Trump is even in the polls. I work with a ton of liberals and they all loathe Hillary. They don't like Trump, either and make snide remarks about him that I agree with, but never say so, so I just smile and suggest we will all find out on election day. I have no doubt, they will vote for Hillary, even if they gag, because Trump is not an alternative to them.
I have always read and believed, voters prefer and will vote for forward looking candidates as opposed to one who they think is looking backwards.
Good points. Hillary was a weak candidate in 2008 and BHO was, too. The Republican candidates were just as bad. Thus, we find a man like Trump still standing. I watched The Apprentice; Trump likes to fight, to scuffle, to win.

Spoken like a true Cruz-bot.
Now I know you, Dave, are posting anti-Trump comments on every thread you find.
JR- I figure it’s polite to ping you when I point out your suggestion to those who haven’t read it or ‘forgot’ about it, since I use your name. If it’s annoying, let me know and I’ll leave you off the ping list. cb
Looks like you are ignoring the message from Jim Robinson:
Very sorry if your favorite candidate did not win the nomination and sorry if you cannot understand or agree with our mission, but those who cant live with our immediate goal need to either keep it to themselves or sit it out (from FR) for the duration. Anti-Trump activities and NeverTrump trolling and recruiting efforts are not appreciated and are unwelcome on FR.
