He can't soften his rhetoric without alienating the people who were drawn to his hard rhetoric, though. That's the sticky wicket the Republican Party is in - they've been stoking inchoate rage for decades, and now inchoate rage has the pole position. Donald Trump could transmogrify into Abraham Lincoln Himself and the result would be millions of pissed off racist troglodytes bemoaning his emasculation.
