    Trump’s one strategy is to say something and see if it catches. If it falls flat, he won’t bring it up again. If it works, he’ll hammer it harder next time.

    He must have felt how much they’re losing on abortion and tried to pull it back, but the base won’t follow him there. You probably won’t hear him bring it up again for the rest of the campaign.
