Simple Question. Will you vote for Trump?

I'm starting to wonder if Trump is taking a lesson from Bill Clinton's 1992 election strategy.

He's campaigning to the right during the Primary and then, when he secures the nomination, he'll make a swing to the center...

That happens with both Parties and all candidates. The hard core Partisans are the people they need to attract during the Primaries. During the general they need a broader section.
Example, Cruz played the Christian card in SC. If he makes it through the primaries, he will not do that or at least not as obviously as he did in SC.

Clinton only made a swing to center when the congress went a majority republican.

He was smart enough to go along with the flow moving to the center. Bill was no dummy.

Moves to the middle were more important when more people, and the parties, were more moderate. Political attitudes, and the parties, have become more polarized (evidenced by many metrics of polarization)...so candidates don't have to appear as moderate as they used to.

It is also possible that he is winning for another reason, that the people finally figured out that they are being betrayed by those who support them.
Consider this.

Basically we have a politician running for President who makes a speech that is so good that the Big Money wants to give her millions but, she keeps the speech secret.
How is that possible that candidates, Presidents and ex Presidents give private speeches that are worth millions and they don't want to publish them so that the rest of us can read them and be amazed at the greatness of the speaker?
Unless there is a good reason for keeping them private, like a quid pro quo, a rip off, a sell out, a betrayal.
I'm ready for something else.
Like Trump.

The Clinton machine will make sure that all cellphones and recording devices will be out of the speeches.

Several candidates in past years have been outed by clandestine recordings and lost their momentum down the road.

This is a problem going on for many decades with no end in sight, with both Parties.
A government on the take, what else is there?

A political science professor who claims his statistical model has correctly predicted the results of every election in the last 104 years has forecast that the odds of Donald Trump becoming America’s next president currently range from 97 percent to 99 percent.

The professor is Helmut Norpoth of Stony Brook University, reports The Statesman, the campus newspaper at the public bastion on New York’s Long Island.

Specifically, Norpoth predicts that Trump has a 97 percent chance of beating Hillary Clinton and a 99 percent chance of beating Bernie Sanders.

The predictions assume Trump will actually become the 2016 presidential nominee of the Republican Party.
