Trump was asked on the “Today Show” Thursday about North Carolina’s new law that requires people to use the bathroom facility that corresponds with the sex listed on their birth certificate. Newly hired senior aide Paul Manafort said that whenever the GOP front runner is out on stage, he is only projecting such image for a objective.
“I think the delegates are really going to take that into consideration”, he said. “You’ll see a real different way”, he said.

“He gets it”, Manafort said of Trump.
In a recording of the RNC briefing, obtained by Associated Press, Mr Manafort continued: “The part that he’s been playing is evolving into the part that now you’ve been expecting, but he wasn’t ready for, because he had first to complete the first phase”. The negatives will come down. “The image is going to change”.
The message was welcomed by some party officials but criticized by others who suggested it raised doubts about his authenticity.
“He’s trying to moderate”. “My wife tells me to be more presidential, my daughter tells me to be more presidential, and Paul Manafort and (campaign manager) Corey (Lewandowski) and a lot of them say, be more presidential”.
There was evidence of a rift on the Democratic side as well.
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton also campaigned in CT on Saturday.
Saying “of course” LePage should be one of Maine’s delegates, Carson added, “What we have to recognize is that right now, the reason that the populists are so upset is they feel that they can’t trust government, can’t trust political parties – the last thing we need to be doing is engaging in subterfuge and things that aren’t transparent, and utilizing tricks and saying, ‘well this is the rules'”. But that lead won’t translate into a big delegate win unless voters can figure out which of the delegates in the individual congressional districts support Trump’s candidacy. Trump has blasted the GOP’s nominating process as “crooked” and “rigged”, and the party’s rules committee sought to avoid even the appearance of touching the nominating process amid the intense scrutiny. “That’s not who he is”, she said at a Trump rally at the State Fairgrounds in Harrington.

“He’s willing to spend what is necessary to finish this out”. According to Short, Manafort “said, ‘Cooler heads have prevailed”.
The next round of primaries is on Tuesday in Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland.
Harrington said that it would be a bad idea for either Cruz or John Kasich to announce their running mates before the Republican National Convention in July, seeing as both are mathematically eliminated from clinching the nomination before the convention.
Referencing members of Congress and conservative organizations, he said, “We’ve started all those conversations”.
Darrell Scott, the CEO of Trump’s new National Diversity Coalition, is among those says there’s a gracious, humble private man beneath the brash exterior.
Cruz, a first-term senator from Texas, seized on Manafort’s comments as proof of a disconnect between Trump’s public image and his likely governing philosophies.
