How will that not come across as more flip flopping and blowing with the public opinion wind. There is an ever growing bank of footage of him taking positions which will be cut up against any new position to show he doesn't really have any real beliefs. You already seeing it happening on social media and it will only get worse the more positions he takes like this as no one remembers the caveats

I think it's worth noting that IF one had a lot to say about major policies that would win the argument outside the culture war and IF you were focussed on maximising your electoral chances and IF your strategy was to stay out of fights until the absolute optimum time to start throwing policy punches and IF that optimal time had not yet arrived, then the behaviour that we see now is entirely concordant with that strategy.
I have no idea if the above is the case, just noting that given the kind of strategy he has employed so far, the above narrative dovetails with the observed behaviour.
