This is probably just enough for the media and voters for forgive him and go back to attacking Hillary to get a horse race!

You know people like Mark Halperin who wants a Trump comeback narrative so bad will eat this stuff up.

Just like any celebrity--issue a prepared and vague scripted statement and everything is supposed to be okay.

If this despicable hatemonger had any real remorse for the things he had said he would have said so at the time, not weeks or months after the fact. This man does not deserve the benefit of the doubt on anything at this point.

The only reason he's gotten this far is that many Americans are.

For Trump, this is pretty good.

I hope he can build on this.  The GE game is different than the primary game.

If Trump is actually able to stick with this, it could be a game changer.

Hopefully he goes back go his old ways tomorrow and we won't have to worry about this being a competitive election and instead be able to try to make control of the House competitive lol

If Trump is able to get away with this BS though,.....smh

The thing is, if he keeps on making offensive and outrageous comments, people are going to forget about this.  This only sticks if he gets his act together.

That's not going to happen with trump.

I think he might hold back just long enough for his staff to think they've put a leash on him, then the next "outrage" item will happen and he'll go right back to his normal self. I'll give it maybe a week.

I am deeply saddened that Trump felt the need to offer an unnecessary apology, but if it's what he has to do to be Mr. Brexit-in-chief, I understand. I don't approve, but the potential ends can justify the means. I trust him to do the thing the media wants even though he shouldn't have to.

oh okay cool

i'm gonna go ahead and guess kellyanne conway wrote this for him.

word. damn right she or someone underf her direction did.

the problem isn't he said these things; it's the vicious and crazy beliefs he holds--and sure as hell haven't changed a whit since yesterday--that led him to say such things that should concern us all.

I'm very happy about this. The high points of the Trump campaign, to me, were the moments of humility - his Iowa caucus concession speech (which is when I no longer ruled out voting for him), the RNC ad-lib where he said that he might not have deserved the level of support from Evangelicals that he got, and now this. Ideologically, I'm basically a more religious version of Trump, so for me, it's all about character. I have to admit, Trump doesn't always make supporting him easy, but moments like this give me hope.

Exactly. "I'm sorry if what I said offended you, but I'm still building my wall and banning anyone that has terrorists in their country"

Every time Trump gives a TelePrompTer speech, people act like he will finally turn around his campaign.

And then by next Tuesday he will have called Malia Obama a pig, and his favorables will tank another 3 points, and he'll panic, say more dumb things, and continue on until another campaign shake-up and another TelePrompTer speech.

We go into full on panic mode over any positive development on the other side.
