Less than 24 hours after last night’s debate, Donald Trump has flip-flopped on torture. Last night during the debate, he told the Fox hack moderators that the generals would do what he tells him if he orders terrorists to go through waterboarding or even harsher methods. Today though, Flippity, floppity Trump has changed.
Trump softens torture stance in statement to @WSJ. "Will not order our military or other officials to violate" global laws and treaties.

The Donald still has a lot to learn if he’s going to actually win the presidency. You can’t violate international law because your name is Donald Trump, no matter how tempting it would be to put terrorists who burn people alive and behead people through what some deem torture.
As we move into the weekend and the winner take all states, most of the primary and caucused are closed, meaning only Republicans can vote in them. Previously, only Alaska and Oklahoma have been closed primaries, and Ted Cruz won both states. Three states this weekend have closed caucuses (Kansas, Kentucky and Maine). One state has a closed primary Louisiana. We’ll see if any these states change.
