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.

Trump is very strong.

I believe he will win the presidency.

At least we already know Cruz’s stand on rat copulation. He’s for it unless it’s Trump.

He means he’s a con man and has been running a con. He’s a liberal and always has been a liberal..... and half of FreeRepublic voted for him.

“Evolving” is what you do when you have no core principles and convictions that you live by. Everything in your life becomes a part that you play for a reality series. I guess that vapid shallowness is fine for people who actually believe that Trump woke up one morning at the age of 69 and decided he was a Conservative, despite having lived as a liberal his entire life.

He obviously feels he’s secure enough to admit that he’s always been a liberal and kick conservatives in the teeth.

That’s because he’s a showman, does what the audience wants, but now there’s a different audience that he needs to capture. He started off with the desperate suckers at the bottom and now he’s moving up to GOP-e, dumping the social principles he had supposedly (if improbably) adopted and trying to get the Kasich vote.

I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry. This is politics as reality show.

Cruz stuck on stupid again. Nothing new here at all just more Hit pieces of old news. Look, the desperate regurgitation of “hes a liberal!” ploy the Establishment set up has failed.

Trump thinks he can drop the act now. He’ll move further and further left, and he will govern as a leftist making deals with Democrats/RINOs if he ends up as President (which I doubt he will). Trump has ALWAYS been a leftist.
