Interestingly, I left the convention less fearful of a Trump presidency than I did going in. There were two major factors in that. First was Paul Ryan's speech, which laid out a far more traditional Pub approach to governance, and left me feeling that Congress would be calling the policy shots, not the White House. The second was the acceptance speech, where Trump clearly started paying attention to his campaign staff. He avoided any name calling and very closely followed the script given to him. He even went so far as to quell the "Lock her up" chant, which was certainly instilled by Manafort, et al. That doesn't suggest to me that he isn't going to launch on opponents as he thinks fits the tenor of a speech, but it does suggest that his staff now actually has influence in Trump's decisions.

And yet the next morning he goes right back to wacko internet theories in going off on Cruz, and goes on MTP and talks about quitting WTO, etc... Unstable man is unstable
