And I bet he won't stick with it, even if the party begs him to tone it down. He needs the adulation too much.

works any better for him. During most of his "speeches" he just goes up there and wings it. Its like trying to listen to a toddler that is on cocaine.

sedated reading the speech the GOP made him read. That ain't gonna last long. He's gonna revert back to type. The GOP can't keep this monster caged.

Remember how they said his speech was "very presidential" and he "sounds like he is pivoting to the general election". That lasted about 4 hours before he started using racial slurs and throwing tantrums on stage. I'm sure he can maintain his composure for 15 minutes, once in a blue moon, but rambling nonsense and Klan language always come back around and will always be his dominate form of public speaking. He can't and won't try to change.

then do it himself. They're trying to control him and he tried it one time. He will hate the press he gets from this as he was wooden and "low-energy". Even McTurtle tried to tell him to stay on message, but he won't like it. He's not good w/ a teleprompter and will revert to taking his own advice. Big mistake. He will not take well to their attempt to control him and will revert to his rants. Hopefully.

At least Hillary has mastered the art of using a teleprompter. Trump looks like he's reading a passage from a book.
