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.

Why do you insist on attacking me? Do you have a problem? Go away and bother someone else.

“. Hillary will beat him like a bad indian drum.”

Complete idiocy, trump is the only one who can beat Hillary in FL.

Do some research then get back to me.

I’ll wait.

Do you think putting a “y” on the end of people’s names makes you look intelligent kjam22y?

Everybody moves a little to the center for the general election. Well if you want to win. Trump can’t build the wall unless he gets elected and we sure know that nobody else will.

He only posed as a conservative - he’s never been a conservative anything, either Dem or Republican.

He has more conservative positions than anyone in the race. He's a patriot. He's proven that for the past 30 years.

Maybe he gets this wrong or that wrong in soundbites. I get that. What I don't get is the shiv you want to thrust into his side for emerging as a Patriotic American in the days when that moniker is all but shunned.

If the border is not closed, if our security as a nation not defended, we are done. We are no better off than Europe.

WE have been bitching about this for 30 years. After 9/11, we KNEW the borders would be secure, I mean it would be treasonous not to. Here we sit in 2016, open borders and importing Islamic fighters.

For me, it's time we elect a Patriot. It's way past time...

Free Republic is now part of the Trump superpac. Unreal isn’t it but there you are. Freepers have sold their souls to this cultish carnival barker.

I think most of those solidly against Trump support open borders and illegal immigration.

Trump has NO CHANCE to keep Hillary out of the White House.”

Trump got more votes in FL than Hillary, despite having 3 others in the race.

FL is a must win state.

Cruz and kasich weren’t even close.

I’m not supportive of Trump at all right now, and have been hedging my bets all along. FWIW, I voted for Cruz in the primary. Now, you’re the first person who knows that besides my husband, and all of FR now :)

I’m in 2nd grade. Thanks for the compliment. He is King Trumpy... and I’m guessing you’re one of his worshipers. All Hail King Trumpy. King Trumpy our Savior. All Hail the King. Right???

Actually people here and all over the country simply want illegal immigration ended. That’s it, that’s all. That is all there is to the entire Trump phenomenon. He’s been in the lead from the moment he announced his run, for that one main reason alone. The others that didn’t give the people what they wanted for thirty years can simply suck it. They should have considered the people.
