I do agree that once he secures the presidency he will need to act more presidential and I think he will do that. However, if you thought the primaries were nasty and contentious, just wait until the general. Shrillary and her gang of nutcases and freaks are not going down easily. Trump is actually going to have to get nastier if he is going to defeat her.
I do recognize that Trump is losing ground with a lot of women and religious people with his approach and that his behavior offends them. I hope that in the end, they come around and pull the level for him in November because the alternative is much, much worse.
Rubio and Cruz are taking nastiness to a new level, Trump is being dragged into the mud by them and Romney. Cruz is playing a voter suppression game that will only hurt the eventual GOP nominee. It is politics at the dirtiest level thanks mainly to Ted Cruz campaign manager. Trump only hits back in self defense.

He can’t change who he is. KS showed Trump is the reason for turnout but not what you think. Record turnout, more votes for Cruz than entire state vote in 2012 - and DT had 23%. High energy against Trump. Difference in polls and votes - Cruz up 30%. Cruz outperformed polls by a minimum of 10 points in all 4 races Saturday and did well on Tuesday. Do you let your kids watch him, knowing he will use vulgar language and make fun of people? He is divisive and has very thin skin.
