Donald Trump: ‘I want to do this my way’

Trump says he’ll be fair, but also firm; he’s open to “softening” his position on mass deportations, but yet promises it will somehow remain as hard-line as it ever was.

In an interview with Britain’s public television station Channel 4, campaign manager Kellyanne Conway explained how Trump, though lagging in recent polling, will pull off a victory because of a phenomenon that describes the willingness of some voters to tell pollsters they prefer a more socially acceptable candidate while planning to vote entirely different on election day.

Pressed on how big that hidden vote is, Conway said she “can’t discuss it”.

“Ultimately, I said I want to do this my way”. And I think that’s a very important phrase out here.

“Well, but he doesn’t hurl personal insu-” Conway started to say before cutting herself off.

But Conway argued on Thursday that Trump isn’t abandoning any position, saying he “is not for amnesty”.

CBS News’ Sopan Deb, as Blake noted, spotted similar word salad from Alabama Sen.

Right-wing commentator Ann Coulter, author of the just-released book “In Trump We Trust”, reacted disapprovingly to the GOP nominee’s latest shift.

In an interview Wednesday night on Fox News, Trump suggested that his policies may allow some undocumented immigrants to remain in the United States – an apparent departure from his previous calls to deport the roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country.

Morning Consult sampled 2,500 people and compared what they told pollsters with what they told their computers – a scenario that more closely resembles the privacy of a voting booth.

We’ve seen similar dynamics play out earlier this summer as Donald Trump tweaked the wording of his Muslim ban while his team simultaneously implied that he was and was not changing its intent, and this spring when his campaign allies couldn’t decide whether he was or wasn’t going to rework his tax plan. “And I actually think he can win on the substance of the issues”.
