 Why Trump toned down his judge attack

Trump's abrupt reversal only came after a phone call from the RNC chairman.

Donald Trump’s attempt to calm the firestorm over his racially based attacks on the judge overseeing Trump University lawsuits did not include an apology but offered clear evidence that the presumptive GOP nominee now recognizes the damage the controversy has done to his campaign.

Tuesday’s attempt to stop the bleeding — which came in the form of a lengthy, lawyerly statement — followed a phone call from Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus imploring Trump to walk the comments back, according to a source with knowledge of the conversation. And it followed several days of pleas from campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who counseled Trump to eschew attacks on Judge Gonzalo Curiel.

But those pleas fell on deaf ears as Trump opted to double down instead.

“It is unfortunate that my comments have been misconstrued as a categorical attack against people of Mexican heritage. I am friends with and employ thousands of people of Mexican and Hispanic descent,” Trump said in the statement

Misconstrued my foot.  It was an attack on Hispanics and was meant as an attack on Hispanics.  And all the Trump lies in the world will not change that.

I thought Trump was his own boss and all, sticking it to GOPe and not afraid to ignore them and tell it like he thinks it is.

But apparently he does belong to the GOPe, lock, stock and barrel.  Or at least he cowers before them like all the rest. 

So what happened?  Or has he just been lying all along?

IMPLORED?  Reince, you weenie!

YOU have all the leverage.  You don't beg.  You TELL Trump to shape up or you pull support.

"Implore" is probably someone's spin to make it look less bad for Trump than it actually was.  Trump's response was very defensive, not magnanimous, which implies he was privately taken to the proverbial woodshed on this one.

Trump doesn't know the meaning of the word "Magnanimous".  But then there are a lot of words Trump doesn't know the meaning of.

Mostly anything with more than one syllable.
