fwiw ... Trump came out and actually made an apology for his behaviour yesterday.   We all know that he has never apologized for anything and is proud of it. 

The only reason I bring this up is to ask those who doubt his sincerity in running for POTUS, does this change your thoughts on that ?  

No other questions.  No bait.  Just curious

At least the Democrats who keep calling don't use a recording of their candidate's voice. That would push me over the edge.

Hope that worked.

Listen to Ryssdal's incredulity as he talks with this hollow front man who simply can't deliver. Americans really want this? 

"...Not entering into bad trade deals..." is his specific plan.

This popped up on an NYT page that I had open around 3:45 am Wednesday morning: 

Donald Trump, in Shake-Up, Hires Breitbart Executive for Top Campaign Post


LAS VEGAS — Donald J. Trump has shaken up his presidential campaign for the second time in two months, hiring a top executive from the conservative news site Breitbart News and promoting a senior adviser to a key new role in an effort to right his faltering campaign.

Stephen Bannon, the executive chairman of Breitbart News LLC, will become the Republican campaign’s chief executive, and Kellyanne Conway, a senior adviser and pollster for Mr. Trump and his running mate, Gov. Mike Pence of Indiana, will become the campaign manager.

Paul Manafort, the campaign chairman, will retain his title. But the staffing change, hammered out on Sunday and set to be formally announced Wednesday morning, represents a demotion for Mr. Manafort, who took control of the campaign nearly two months after Mr. Trump won the primary in Indiana, forcing the remaining two candidates from the race.

The news, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, was confirmed by four people in and close to the Trump campaign.

The people briefed on the move said that it reflects Mr. Trump’s realization that his campaign was at a crisis point. But it indicates that the candidate, who has chafed at making the types of changes his current aides have asked for even though he has acknowledged they would need to be made, has decided to embrace his aggressive style for the duration of the race.

Both Mr. Bannon and Ms. Conway are close with Robert and Rebekah Mercer, the father-and-daughter conservative donors who have become allies of Mr. Trump and are funding a “super PAC” that is working against Hillary Clinton.

Ms. Conway has past presidential experience in primary races, but the role in a general election represents a new one for her. She is well liked by Mr. Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who had been serving as the de facto campaign manager. 

Stephen Bannon, a top executive for Breitbart News, will become the campaign’s chief executive.
Mr. Bannon has no experience with political campaigns, but he represents the type of bare-knuckled fighter that the candidate had in Corey Lewandowski, his combative former campaign manager, who was fired on June 20.

Mr. Bannon has been a supporter of Mr. Trump’s pugilistic instincts, which the candidate has made clear in interviews he is uncertain about whether he wants to suppress. He is also deeply mistrustful of the political establishment, and his website has often been critical of House Speaker Paul D. Ryan and Senator Mitch McConnell, the majority leader.

Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City who has become a close Trump adviser, has also urged the candidate to dig in and prepare to fight harder, and in a more focused way, in what has quickly become one of the nastiest presidential campaigns in modern United States history. 

It was not clear what the promotions would mean for Mr. Manafort, who had initially been hired to steer Mr. Trump through what appeared to be a protracted fight for delegates. 

Mr. Manafort rose in power after repeated clashes with Mr. Lewandowski, who was ultimately fired with the help of Mr. Trump’s adult children, who believed the campaign manager was trying to spread negative stories about Mr. Kuhsner.

Mr. Lewandowski, now a paid CNN commentator, has denied that it was the case, and he and Mr. Trump still speak frequently, with the candidate seeking his advice.

Mr. Lewandowski’s troubles began, in part, when he was accused by a female Breitbart reporter, who worked for Mr. Bannon, of grabbing her roughly after a news conference at one of his Florida properties. He was charged with assault, but prosecutors declined to proceed with the case, which was dropped.

People briefed on the reshuffling were adamant that Mr. Trump’s children would seek to block a return by Mr. Lewandowski. And they insisted that staff departures resulting from the changes would be few.

The candidate has bucked repeated efforts to rein in his impulsive behavior, committing repeated gaffes after telling he aides he planned to adopt a more presidential tone.

His behavior has angered the party’s top figures, who have openly expressed concern about preserving Republican majorities in the House and Senate in light of Mr. Trump’s performance in the polls. 

The moves were hammered out on Sunday in meetings at Mr. Trump’s golf club at Bedminster, N.J. Roger Ailes, the former head of Fox News, also met with Mr. Trump that day, as The Times reported on Tuesday, and he will be part of efforts to prepare Mr. Trump in his debate against Mrs. Clinton and with other tasks, according to three people briefed on the discussions. 

Mr. Manafort had also come under increasing scrutiny over his ties to Ukraine for elections he worked on as an international consultant, including handwritten ledgers showing he was designated to receive $12.7 million in undisclosed cash payments from a pro-Russian political party from 2007 to 2012. Yet it remains to be seen whether a new chain of command can ultimately fix the problem: the candidate’s lack of discipline and desire to punch back at nearly any critic. 

After a series of recent controversies — including Mr. Trump’s assertion that Russia should hack Mrs. Clinton’s emails; his criticism of a Muslim-American Gold Star family; and his suggestion that Second Amendment supporters could revolt against Mrs. Clinton — the candidate began trying anew to appear moderated in tone.

On Monday, he delivered a speech on terrorism using a teleprompter rather than the off-the-cuff style he prefers, and on Tuesday he offered yet another scripted address, this time on law and order.

Mr. Pence, too, has privately worked to quell the growing concerns surrounding the Republican ticket. At the annual meeting of the Republican Governors Association in Colorado on Tuesday, Mr. Pence used his keynote speech to offer “encouragement” — a word he used several times — and reassurance to the crowd.

“We’re still winning hearts and minds every day despite an avalanche of negative media coverage,” Mr. Pence said during the closed-door session, according to audio provided to The New York Times.

Time, Mr. Pence added, was on their side. “It’s preseason, for heaven’s sake,” he said. “The gun starts on Labor Day.”
