Trump's preview of moving to the centre in the GE.

1. (the most surprising of all) "Planned Parenthood does wonderful things" (except abortions)
2. (the stunning attack on the Bushes) $5t dollar war, WMD lies, instead of rebuilding US destabilised the whole middle east.
3. Will strengthen & expand Social Security (how?)
4. Pharma will have to negotiate with Medicare
4. (a) Most recent statement, Pharma will be forced to supply at the low(est) prices they offer elsewhere
4. (b) Names Bill Johnson (J&J) as Jeb's campaign strategist.
6. Tear up the TPP
7. Would go one to one against the WTO members on 'unfair' trade deals. WTO biased against US.
8. Would used Federal Government purchasing (and I guessing a whole lot more) to punishing US companies moving to Mexico or elsewhere.
9. So far vague comments putting lobbyists out of business. I suspect he has scores to settle. What he has said is 'those two billionaires from Texas, they are out the door from day 1.
10. Tax Wall Street and keep them in line (with Nixonesque threats?)
10 (a) NB, hasn't really gone after Goldman yet

Up to 11. I'm mainstream, Sanders is acommunist.

When Trump says I can't be bought by the interests, its actually code for -'I'll do exactly what I want to do"

Demonising minorities is not going to stop. Neither will OTT nationalism

All centrist / center left friendly
