Keller @ Large: Time For A Trump Makeover?
LOWELL (CBS) - Outside the Tsongas arena, a typical scene - a long line of Trump devotees waiting in the cold to enter the hall, a few of them yelling "go home!" at a knot of anti-Trump protesters across the street,
And as this divisive campaign tries to put away its challengers in New Hampshire, there was some smart advice from a Trump-leaning voter: "Maybe tone it down and try to relate to the people a little more."
But there was no toning down from Trump in Lowell, just more of the tough talk that's fueled his rise and sparked the protests that repeatedly interrupted him.
"We have a revolution going on, people are tired and they're sick of the stupidity that we're seeing coming out of Washington," bellowed Trump, who at another point declared himself "the most militaristic person in this room."
And of course there was the usual red meat obituaries for Obamacare, and homage to the "Trump wall" that will give us "strong borders."

Trump didn't engage in more of his recent bickering with Hillary Clinton, save for passing suggestion that her election would mean "four more years of Obama."
And you had to look hard for them, but there were a few signs of an effort to broaden his appeal, including an introductory video featuring his children and the absence of some of his more scatalogical rhetoric.
Perhaps Trump is starting to realize a little honey can catch more flies than an all-vinegar diet.
