Several days and no bloopers from Trump?

He even was declared to be a "humble and gracious" man by some of his followers. (of course)

Could his management change actually be working? Already?
They may not be skilled at running a campaign but they know their business when creating a media image.

He may be listening to these guys and putting their suggestions to work because they come from his world of entertainment, not the world of real politics. He probably has respect for media image makers and knows what they can do for him. This might be why he's suddenly changed tack.

The news media have been exposing his authentic, slimy underbelly, something he wants kept hidden.
His new staff won't be concerned with reality and will begin to blind the public with glitter and rhinestones once again. If he continues to follow their lead, and doesn't stray into his customary blathering, he may change his image with a substantial number of voters by election time.

Let's hope the time is too short and his personal discipline too lax for this to actually take hold.
(I don't think it will, he's damaged himself too much already but I don't completely discount any crazy, unwanted scenarios either.)

If you don't do something to change these numbers by Labour Day you're going to lose.
Right now he's very tightly scripted let's see how long doing something that's against his nature lasts.
