Trump today has made it clear on three different issues his positions.
Today he said he supports the idea of transgender people using bathrooms of their "new" gender.
Today later he said he would absolutely raise taxes on the rich.
Today he has also said he wants reposition the GOP platform on abortion, for cases of rape, incest etc (to be fair he's always had this position).
Cenk Uygur of the youngturks and many others believe Donald Trump the whole time has just been "crowd surfing" constantly tossing red meat to republican base, telling what they want to hear, in order to get their votes and then completely change positions for the GE once's he's the nominee.
I have no idea if any of this is true, but if it is, it will absolutely be hilarious to watch the reactions of Hannity, Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham who literally think he is the "new Reagan conservative! v2.0".
Is this the start of Trumps political move to the center then? I mean we're out of the south, after next week all we have next are a few mid western states to vote and California. I suspect we may not hear many "did I forget to denounce the KKK oops" lines again. He appreciates the votes though.

Surely he's not going to crap all over his base??
Uh oh. The Trump angry voters are going to get really really angry.
Today later he said he would absolutely raise taxes on the rich.
He had already stated this a couple of times. It's my belief it's one of the primary reasons most of the big money Republicans and big money Democrats dislike him so much.
Time will tell. Trump could end up being the thing that fixes the Republican party - getting rid of the social conservative, religious positions, focusing on people-oriented changes to save and even expand SS and other programs, cutting foreign aid and military spending, wealth redistribution through more sensible tax policy, and enforcing immigration law. In short, a democrat with a little sense. Sound, centrist policies would have broad appeal and he might be able to mend his horrible image with so many Americans in time for the election.
One thing that some people like about Trump is that he's obviously honest about stating what he believes regarding controversial issues. He doesn't take a poll and then evolve on how he thinks. He's quite liberal on many social issues.
Mr. Trump is not and has never been conservative which anyone who follows him knows. That's not what his appeal is to conservatives.
There's nothing new here for anyone.

D'uh. The only faulty logic is that Donald is tossing red meat to the "republican" base. He is throwing the meat to HIS fan base, many of whom have never voted for a GOP candidate and have no idea what Conservatism is (obviously). If Donald's scam University, scam Vitamin scheme and his failed investments have proven anything, it has proven he has a great ability to sucker people who rely on emotion rather than logic to get through life.
