softening though, quoting proverbs, not being as bombastic, showing his family and tweeting about his coming grandchildren, and keep that base that the professor is referring to, because they re angry. how does he find the balance to be more mellow as the front-runner and yet still capture that anger of apparently of the base that he s appealing to? as a political observer, i don t want him to be kinder and gentler. i like the bombastic trump, certainly a lot more fun to talk about. trump supporters are not ideologically driven. they like trump the character. i think he s just rounding out this character, whether or not they find it believable, that s another thing, but donald trump the family man, hey, why not? write that chapter, too. but the outsiders are the candidates catching fire, not only trump but carson, fiorina.
