He looked like he caved to the leadership while he was reading from the teleprompters.. And his family didn't look all that comfortable either.
If he does what the greybeards want, he will continue to look "weak" to the raging base. I don't think he's going to get another minute of "fun" out of this race.

(58,724 posts)The Republican leadership just want to turn him into "Not Hillary Clinton" and get rid of everything that makes him Donald Trump. He seems to be getting ready to go along with that, however reluctantly.

"We gonna make it great and it will be great 'cause I am great, isn't that great? You're gonna love it!!!"
What a buffoon.

(43,049 posts)just like when they took his checkbook away after the last bankruptcy, ensuring he'll never go broke again, and giving him little to brag about.
But, his atrocious ego will still find a way. It always does.

I still can't wrap my mind around how this yahoo got enough votes from anyone, to become a major party nominee for US President.
That alone tells me we can't take our eyes off the ball. We need to make sure OUR people vote. Unfortunately, they don't always. We need to make sure they don't stay home this November.

(19,356 posts)He may never speak about the judge again, but the reason for having the stage is to brag. Trump will only discuss ideas, propose solutions, and demand actions in order to brag about himself, to puff himself up around these proto-issues and whatnot.
I don't think it's in his nature to care more about such issues than about himself. He will not subordinate his sense of male superiority to matters of the moment.

(2,437 posts)the line will be nearly impossible for him. That's part of his problem. Ironically the job is working for everyone. He thinks he's running for dictator.

(3,818 posts)His whole family looked defeated. He even changed from a solid color tie to a striped one - he usually only wears one color - thought that was interesting.
