Q: At a rally in Charlotte, N.C., Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said on Thursday that sometimes he hasn't chosen the right words to say and said that he regretted causing "personal pain." (The Washington Post) 
  
 CHARLOTTE — Donald Trump on Thursday expressed regret over causing “personal pain” through ill-chosen words he has used “in the heat of debate,” an unexpected and uncharacteristic declaration of remorse for a candidate whose public persona is defined by his combative and bombastic style. 
  
 Speaking during his first campaign rally since rebooting his campaign, the Republican presidential nominee sought to frame himself as a truth-telling candidate who occasionally crosses boundaries in that pursuit. He also sought to contrast himself with his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, whom he accused of dishonesty and pandering. 
  
 “Sometimes in the heat of debate, and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that," Trump said, with a slight smile, during a campaign rally here. 
  
 “And believe it or not, I regret it. I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain. Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues,” he said. “But one thing; I can promise you this: I will always tell you the truth.” 
  
 The speech marked a sharp departure for Trump, who has avoided apologizing or expressing regret in more than a year of campaigning, after a seemingly endless stream of feuds and controversies. Notably, he said earlier this month that he did not regret his feud with Gold Star parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, who lost their son Army Capt. Humayun Khan while he served in Iraq in 2004. 
  
 Speaking Thursday, Trump did not specify what he regretted and did not directly apologize to anyone. 
  
 Trump tore into Clinton during his speech, which he read from prepared remarks on a teleprompter, and called on her to apologize for “one lie after another.” Trump has regularly accused Clinton of dishonesty in an attempt to exploit her low honesty ratings in public opinion polls. 
  
 “While sometimes I can be too honest, Hillary Clinton is the exact opposite: She never tells the truth. One lie after another, and getting worse each passing day,” he said. “The American people are still waiting for Hillary Clinton to apologize for all of the many lies she’s told to them, and the many times she’s betrayed them.” 
  
 Thursday marked Trump’s third teleprompter speech since Monday, a departure from his typically free-wheeling campaign rallies. The speeches appear to be an attempt to keep the candidate on message after weeks of self-inflicted wounds, focusing on law enforcement and combating terrorism. 
  
 His campaign has sought to reframe Trump in a more presidential light in the past, only to find those efforts derailed as the candidate waded into controversial waters. Trump's decision to restructure his campaign's leadership was taken as a rebuke of those efforts to rein in his pugnacious style. 
  
 But the move could backfire, seeming inauthentic for voters who see a clear departure from his past performances. 
  
 As supporters left the rally in Charlotte on Thursday, several said that they didn't notice any change in the candidate they want to be president. But others said they immediately noticed the teleprompters on the stage and that Trump appeared different. 
  
 "All of these politicians have been doing that for all of these years, so now he sounds a little bit more like a politician -- but I guess that's what the people want to hear," said Tom Freeman, a 56-year-old small business owner who lives in the Charlotte area. "The undecided voters would rather hear this, so he's probably appeasing undecided voters. And I like him better when he's speaking like that." 
  
 A woman who overheard Freeman shook her head and said, "I like it when he free-libs better." 
  
 Clinton has preemptively slammed Trump’s attempt to “pivot,” saying Wednesday during a campaign event in Cleveland that staff changes and speeches will not change Trump as a candidate. 
  
 "Donald Trump has shown us who he is. He can hire and fire anyone he wants from his campaign. They can make him read new words from a teleprompter," she said. "But he is still the same man who insults Gold Star families, demeans women, mocks people with disabilities and thinks he knows more about ISIS than our generals." 
  
 The Clinton campaign also issued a statement: “Donald Trump literally started his campaign by insulting people. He has continued to do so through each of the 428 days from then until now, without shame or regret. We learned tonight that his speechwriter and teleprompter knows he has much for which he should apologize." 
  
 Trump also blamed some of the controversy over his missteps on the media, which has become a regular punching bag for the Republican candidate. 
  
 “The establishment media doesn’t cover what really matters in this country, or what’s really going on in people’s lives,” he said. “They will take words of mine out of context and spend a week obsessing over every single syllable, and then pretend to discover some hidden meaning in what I said.”

 Such speeches may do little to change the minds of minority voters, many of whom have accused Trump of racism. This spring, protesters clashed with Trump supporters in cities across the country, sometimes violently. Those clashes carried uncomfortable racial dynamics: While a large contingent of the protesters were black or Hispanic, Trump’s supporters are overwhelmingly white. 
  
 Trump notably made a direct pitch to black voters Thursday, promising to give attention to the inner cities and accusing the Democratic Party of pandering. He also accused Clinton of “bigotry," echoing a remark he made Tuesday during a speech on law enforcement in West Bend, Wis. 
  
 “What do you have to lose by trying something new? Watch, I will fix it. Watch. You have nothing to lose,” Trump said. “They have been playing with you for 60, 70, 80 years. Many, many decades. You have nothing to lose. I will do a great job.” 
  
 Trump's broader pitch to minority voters in recent days has rested on the notion that Democratic politicians have failed to improve economic conditions in inner cities despite relying on Hispanic and African-American support at the ballot box. But Trump's critics have repeatedly accused him of alienating and even attacking minorities, and have faulted him for failing to speak to minority groups. Last month he turned down an invitation to address the NAACP annual conference in Cleveland. 
  
 As Trump spoke, about 25 staffers gathered at Trump Tower for an impromptu viewing party on the building's 14th floor, according to one adviser, where a new space for volunteers and advisers' offices just opened. Cheers erupted as Trump offered his remarks on humility and harshly criticized Clinton, with campaign chief executive Stephen Bannon tracking responses to the speeches from his phone and campaign manager Kellyanne Conway back from a round of television interviews. 
  
 It was a rare and new moment for a campaign that has largely ignored its headquarters as a focal point in the operation. Instead, Trump's traveling entourage has been the power center. Conway and Bannon, in an effort to change that dynamic, stayed behind Thursday and gathered the staff at all levels to watch the candidate together. 
  
 Marc Dalson, a 41-year-old father of four, has closely followed Trump's campaign and said the nominee seems to have finally found a way to be scripted without losing his distinctive voice and style. 
  
 "He's dialing in," Dalson said. "The new Trump -- I think it's working, because historically he was really strong off-the-cuff. We all agree that when he got the teleprompter, he felt like he was in jail. I think now he's starting to weave it in really well to where it seems more natural." 
  
 The thing that Dalson liked best about the more polished Trump was that it showed the Republican nominee is listening to advisers and others who have long pushed for him to be more careful about what he says. 
  
 "It contradicts everything people have been saying about Trump, that he's bullheaded and won't listen to anyone else," Dalson said. "Look at him. He's taking third-party advice. He has to be. . . . In a weird way, I think there's a pivot that's happening, and I think we're standing in the middle of it right now." 
  
 Trump is scheduled to tour the flooding area in Louisiana on Friday, which he mentioned at the beginning of his speech as he offered condolences. Similar events are in the works, an adviser said, as are efforts to showcase Trump in a more presidential light. 
  
 Debate preparation is also scheduled to begin in the coming days, though the campaign has been reluctant to share details. ||||| CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — In a highly uncharacteristic move aimed at resetting his struggling campaign, Donald Trump has said for the first time that he regrets some of the caustic comments he's made that may have caused people pain. 
  
 "Sometimes in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that," the GOP nominee, reading from prepared text, said at a rally in Charlotte, N.C. Thursday night. "And believe it or not, I regret it — and I do regret it — particularly where it may have caused personal pain." 
  
 Trump didn't specify what comments he was referring to, but he added that, "Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues." 
  
 It was a rare admission for a man who has said that he prefers "not to regret anything" and it underscores the dire situation he finds himself in. With just 80 days left until the election, Trump is trailing Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in preference polls of most key battleground states. At the same time, party leaders have conceded they may divert resources away from the presidential contest in favor of vulnerable Senate and House candidates if things don't improve. 
  
 The remarks came a day after Trump announced that he was overhauling his campaign operation, bringing in a new chief executive and appointing a new campaign manager. Rarely do presidential campaigns wait to advertise, or undergo such leadership tumult, at such a late stage of the general election. 
  
 Yet Trump has struggled badly in recent weeks to offer voters a consistent message, overshadowing formal policy speeches with a steady stream of self-created controversies, including a public feud with an American Muslim family whose son was killed while serving in the U.S. military in Iraq. 
  
 Trump's decision to tap Stephen Bannon, a combative conservative media executive, as his new campaign chief suggested to some that he might continue the divisive rhetoric that has angered minorities and alienated large swaths of the general election electorate. 
  
 Instead, a new Trump emerged on Thursday: a less combative, more inclusive candidate who said he was running to be the "voice for every forgotten part of this country that has been waiting and hoping for a better future" and for those who "don't hear anyone speaking for them." 
  
 And the changes appear to be more than cosmetic. Earlier Thursday, Trump moved to invest nearly $5 million in battleground state advertising to address daunting challenges in the states that will make or break his White House ambitions. 
  
 The New York businessman's campaign reserved television ad space over the coming 10 days in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania, according to Kantar Media's political ad tracker. While Clinton has spent more than $75 million on advertising in 10 states since locking up her party's nomination, Trump's new investment marks his first of the general election season. 
  
 Trump also made a last-minute scheduling change, scrapping a planned event in New York in order to travel with his running mate Mike Pence to tour the flood damage in Louisiana on Friday morning. 
  
 But the visit was met with harsh words from Gov. John Bel Edwards, whose spokesman Richard Carbo said, "We welcome him to LA, but not for a photo-op." 
  
 In his remarks, Trump struck a new, inclusive tone and tried to appeal directly to non-white voters, who have so far resisted his candidacy. 
  
 "I will not rest until children of every color in this country are fully included in the American Dream," Trump said, urging African-American voters to give him a chance. 
  
 "What do you have to lose by trying something new?" he asked. 
  
 Clinton's campaign, meanwhile, brushed off the speech off as just words he read from a teleprompter. 
  
 "Donald Trump literally started his campaign by insulting people. He has continued to do so through each of the 428 days from then until now, without shame or regret," said spokeswoman Christina Reynolds in a statement. 
  
 "We learned tonight that his speechwriter and teleprompter knows he has much for which he should apologize. But that apology tonight is simply a well-written phrase until he tells us which of his many offensive, bullying and divisive comments he regrets and changes his tune altogether," she said. 
  
 It remains to be seen whether Trump's reboot comes too late, and whether he has the discipline to maintain it. 
  
 But several Trump supporters at the rally applauded the move. 
  
 "It takes a lot of strength to say, 'I'm sorry, ' to admit — not that he was wrong, but he wished he hadn't done it," said Cindy Ammons, 70, a Trump supporter from Spindale, North Carolina. "I think he's evolving," she said. 
  
 Still, some said it was unnecessary. 
  
 "I think the regime wanted him to say it. It was damage control," said Jeff Devers, 46, visiting from Arkansas. "But I personally don't regret anything that he's said. What he has said should have been said, politically correct or not."

A: 
In a development that may have had some onlookers scanning the sky for flying pigs, Donald Trump expressed regret Thursday night for things he has said. "Sometimes in the heat of debate, and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don't choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that," he told a rally in Charlotte, NC, per the AP. "And believe it or not, I regret it. I do regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain. Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues," he said, reading from a teleprompter. He promised that he would always tell the truth—and called on Hillary Clinton to apologize for "one lie after another." The speech was the first since Trump's campaign shake-up and was a stunning turnaround after more than a year of constant feuds, reports the Washington Post. Clinton's campaign called on Trump to be more specific about his regrets. Trump "literally started his campaign by insulting people," spokeswoman Christina Reynolds said in a statement. "He has continued to do so through each of the 428 days from then until now, without shame or regret. We learned tonight that his speechwriter and teleprompter knows he has much for which he should apologize." The AP reports that in another campaign shift, Trump spent $5 million Thursday on TV ad space in battleground states.
