Yes, he is running hard to the left and repositioning himself as a social and fiscal policy liberal.

LOL! He's trying to keep his base as broad as possible - best way to beat Hillary. Cruz has alienated all but the hardest core of "militant" conservatives and if he were to somehow steal the nomination, he would have to do the same with some of his rhetoric or get crushed by Hillary. Trump has very little he has to modify to stay competitive - he knows that the WH is the goal and slavering rhetoric that pleases the far right and the "God needs to smite thee" folks will not play in the General.

“I don ‘t know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, “We must broaden the base of our party”–when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.’

Ronald Reagan
