I'm starting to think Donald "Tianmian Square was Awesome!" Trump isn't actually going to pivot!!

it's a tone pivot, being a blustering jerk isn't going to work but it's not like he's going to abandon the I MAKE THE DEALS, WE WILL BUILD A WALL persona

If Trump brought a scalpel to this primary rather than a sledgehammer, he could have been president.

Rubio can no longer win Florida unless the polls have been completely wrong. Early voting is big in the Senior State, and early voting has been brutal to Rubio.

I didn't really hear it. Summary, please?

The debate was pretty meaningless, and Trump did the whole "It's time to unite the party (behind me)" schtick. It was good, and the debate up to the last minute was nothing. Trump going last meant nobody got to respond.

No, attacking Trump frazzled him over the last two weeks. Especially when they slammed him on Trump U.

our expectations for him at debates are really low. he didn't shout LIAR, FALSE or talk about his dick, so he looked presidential. talking about what a sweet power play the Tienanmen Square Massacre was in a debate is not some clever 11th dimensional chess move, it's stupid. it has a powerful appeal to people already behind trump and is absolutely toxic to everyone else.

maybe but people have been saying "trump is saying stuff that won't appeal to anyone who doesn't already support him" since he was at 15%

Incorrect. Arkane is incredibly on the nose. However, I think his emotions are getting the best of him, in this case.
