Making Trump Trump Again 
Trump has pivoted! Trump has become conciliatory! Trump is becoming more presidential! The insult comic Trump is a thing of the past! Trump is... making fun of Kasich for the way Kasich eats pancakes? Trump is... oh God... Trump is saying that Hillary Clinton would only get 5 percent of the vote if she were a man?

Trump Abhors a Vacuum
• Trump absolutely crushed it last night. Like, even-if-Cruz-wins-Indiana-it-may-not-matter-levels-of-crushed-it. Part of the reason? Trump thrives where the Republican Party is comparatively weak, as in the Northeast and New York. It's in places like Idaho and Texas where he stumbles. Meanwhile, Cruz is making a major announcement at 4 pm today.

Our guess? He's going to launch a new attack into the way Trump eats pizza.
