      It's not about persuading black voters. It's about signaling to white voters that Trump isn't unacceptably racist.

      Yep. But I think Trump's reputation as a bigot is so baked in, this won't help with except with the most obtuse whites.

          Which is a non-zero portion of the voting public. Best guess as to what percentage is reachable by the "pivot"?

          Even the thinnest veneer of respectability is vital to people who, deep down, know better but want an excuse.
