So the Lewandowski thing. Is Trump going to start acting sane now? [View all]

Looks like everyone around him, including his kids, realized that crazy racist Donald wasn't going to win the general election. I always thought that he was going to try and act sane for the GE.

The question is, can he pull it off? And even if he does, will it be able to undo the damage he's already done to his reputation?
