Love Trump, but the man really needs to take a few days off of the campaign trail and just study what’s written on his own website.

My sincere opinion is that he's learning as he goes. He doesn't know what is conservative and what's not. He's got a team that tries to bring him up to speed, but there are gaps that he has to "clarify" when he goes off script.

Best case scenario: he'll eventually learn what is conservative and govern that way if he wins.

Worst case scenario: he's trying to act conservative just to win the presidency and then he'll "rule" the way he's lived his entire life.

When asked a question, he answers from the gut, with his instincts; then has to backpedal or clarify as he reads about the topic and finds out the details: as an executive, it's more important to make decisions and keep moving, than it is to write a graduate level treatise on every aspect of every one of your positions,and then defend it against your competitors, the Dems, and the press, before doing anything.

Remember that most of the politicians he would've talked to about this, are inside the DC bubble; so they think the rumors are merely xenophobic cis-het homophobic racists who can't read, projecting their failures onto world-class foreign competition: because that is what the K-street lobbyists tell the other politicians.

Well... he’s actually homing in on what’s populist, which is mild conservative to centrist.

Still, a country mile to the right of where any national Democrat is.
