Trump caves, admits the teleprompter has helped him

After spending months criticizing his Republican primary opponents and Hillary Clinton for using teleprompters at their campaign events, Donald Trump has conceded that his own reluctance to use prepared remarks may have hurt him with voters.

“I have been staying on message more now because, ultimately, I’m finding that I do better with voters, do better in the polls, when I’m on message,” the GOP presidential nominee told the New York Times in an interview published Wednesday night.
