Trump's ready to pivot. It's going to be a good pivot. A very, very good pivot. The best pivot.
Donald Trump Tries a Campaign Reboot
As the GOP nominee slumps in polls, he plans an economic speech in Detroit
http://www.wsj.com/article_email/donald-trump-tries-a-campaign-reboot-1470610338-lMyQjAxMTI2MDA3ODAwNTgwWj
At weekend rallies, the GOP nominee read from a hand-held script and offered endorsements for the re-elections of a trio of Capitol Hill Republicans whom he had toyed with rebuffing. On Monday, he will head to Detroit to deliver an economic policy address that is expected to draw contrasts with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Many in Mr. Trump’s party have been clamoring for weeks to see these kinds of adjustments. If he is to persuade Republican skeptics to buy back into his campaign, just weeks before the crucial post-Labor Day stage, the unorthodox, first-time candidate now must show he can make the changes stick.
Mr. Trump in his speech is expected to give broad strokes about his economic plan, particularly to underscore his support for tax cuts. He is also likely to reiterate his plan to create a single top business tax rate that would apply to corporations and to businesses that pay taxes through their owners’ individual returns.
The candidate isn’t likely to offer a detailed revision of his previously announced plan for big tax cuts. Advisers have been working on an overhaul of that plan to address criticism it would rapidly expand the federal deficit, but that revision isn’t yet ready, advisers said.

Slash tax rates for the 1%, deregulate Wall Street, get rid of the inheritance ("death"
tax altogether? Why, the little guy in small town America will have it so good he won't know what hit him. And yes, it would be like an oncoming train.
