Wow, this is getting really bizarre.  He really thinks he can magically turn himself into Ike 2.0 in three months after acting like George Wallace for a year?!  Really?

And if there's any way for Trump to lose his base, it's flipping on immigration.

Trump is a bad panderer. He tried for the Sander's supporters and failed, now hes trying for minorities. I guess he could be trying to win back some moderate Republicans but that base is only so big. I also think these Trump supporters are getting too excited and buzzfeed is overselling it.

It's all about the independents. Independents and centrist-leaning Dems and Pubs make up the large majority of the nation. Win independents and swing voters, and you win the election.

Obama lost independents voters in 2012.

Even if all this is true, I don't understand how the new message of tolerance and respect will get through to so many Latinos, including friends and co-workers in Houston Texas, let alone in Latino communities in other parts of the country...

Way too little, way to late, and way to much disrespect and hated para la Comunidad.

You can get a good used car from a used-car dealership and you can get a good one from a used-car dealership. You cannot get a used

Donald Trump is the used-car salesman who tells you that you that the cheap used car is a good one.

It's actually kind of pathetic. Telling minorities who have been abused time and time again, "what do you have to lose?" now trying to undertake an Olympic-level of back-flippery ... but what will happen is he'll get called out, he'll probably deny it.

This is how you win, folks. Trump is pulling out all the stops. It just may work, who knows? Remember to never overestimate the voting public.

No, it's not how you win. It's how you try to give yourself a chance.

This is basically a band-aid to stop the bleeding, and it'll probably work. It won't cure his campaign though.

He could have given himself a much better chance if he had started his campaign that way. At this late date he's just gasping his last breaths, flailing around, trying anything he can think of to stay afloat.

In the past, he "won" because he plays dirty and cheats. If that works during this Presidential election then it'll be a very sad day in this country.

Trump campaign is now denying Buzzfeed, also calling it clickbait:



But Univison heard the exact same thing.

He's basically saying to Hispanics what they want to hear, while denying it to his base.

Playing both sides of the street is a brilliant way to get hit by traffic going both ways.

Yep.
Doesn't surprise me.

That's really not a joke either. Everything I've heard about the people at Trump rallies has been that immigration is their biggest motivation. The most virulent hardline anti-immigration are of course from the border states of Iowa (such as Steve King) and Wisconsin (if you can remember former Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner). [/s]

That's insulting for used car salesmen. He is more like the shady guy selling you broken cars.

This just pours salt over the wound, treating the Hispanic community as if they were fools. At the same time, it also plays against his entire nationalist extreme anti-immigrant message that could dissuade Trump supporters who were already feeling less motivated to vote. It also makes him look inconsistent even on the one issue he seemed to be consistent on. So yea, this will backfire spectacularly.

Cheats?  Donald Trump won free and fair primary elections; that's how he got nominated.  The e-mails tell a story of how the DNC hosed Bernie Sanders; is that considered "cheating" as well?

I was talking about how he has conducted himself in his life through the years. Look it up.

If that's his real position (and who knows with Trump) then he should've stuck to his guns.  He should've took some advice from the real "Mr. Brexit" Nigel Farage months ago if he wants to push the limited immigration agenda.
