No, then the Cruz Republicans won't show up or will vote Libertarian/Constitution/McMuffin, and he won't gain many Democrat voters because they'll still trust Clinton more on those issues.

Also nobody cares what Trump thinks on any issue other than immigration.

Amnesty would lose his own base. He would be competitive if he moved left on economics, though.

He doesn't need to run as a Democrat. He just needs to run as a centrist moderate/populist as he is doing now in the general election.

Supporting a higher minimum wage would be a good idea though and would cement his image as a populist.

So two centrist/moderate populists running against one another?
