Trump’s campaign spending at half the rate of Clinton’s
“If all we got was touchback, I think that would be huge”, Monty said referring to a policy that would require immigrants here illegally to return to their home countries and apply for a visa to return to the U.S. Such a policy was proposed in 2007 and was part of a plan floated by Trump’s running mate Mike Pence, when he served in Congress.
By the way, the Donald Trump who expressed his regrets [Thursday] night is the man I know from repeated meetings and exchanges.
The former reality TV host has stuck to that mission, swapping his free-wheeling rally speeches for prepared remarks that stick to a singular theme. The inaugural accuses Clinton of rigging the election and hammers her on her position on immigration.
If Trump is trying to win over black voters, he faces a steep uphill climb.
Manafort ended up taking over the campaign two months ago after Lewandowski was sacked when he became a distraction to the candidate over a string of high-profile fights. “What the hell do you have to lose?”
On Twitter, the Clinton campaign responded, “This is so ignorant it’s staggering”.
Polls now mostly show Trump lagging Clinton by 5 percentage points or more nationally, but Priebus predicted they will tighten up and Trump will be “ahead as we move through September”. Were his remarks insulting to black voters?
The change was seen as a demotion for campaign chairman Paul Manafort, who has been pushing Trump, among other changes, to use a teleprompter when he gives speeches as a way to stay on message – and not ad-lib himself into saying something offensive or wrong. A series of media reports have detailed how Mr. Manafort profited from lucrative political work on behalf of pro-Russian political forces in Ukraine.
The probe is being carried out by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and US Justice Department, broadcaster CNN reported late Friday, citing multiple US law enforcement officials.
A friend of Manafort’s told CNN Saturday that he wasn’t going to take orders or relinquish power to Conway or Bannon. Clinton’s links to the Kremlin have surfaced in reports by the New York Post and Wall Street Journal.

A group of Hispanic supporters of Donald Trump left a Saturday meeting with him suggesting he’ll have a plan next week for dealing with immigrants illegally in the US that goes beyond deportation. Some 23 percent would not side with either candidate. Trump also promoted adviser Kellyanne Conway, a data-driven political analyst, to campaign manager. Trump fired campaign manager Corey Lewandowski in June, a time at which Manafort ascended to the top of the organization. Russian officials have rejected that accusation. “Too many cooks in the kitchen”, Feehery said. Manafort’s role had been diminished, and Bannon is expected to encourage Trump to embrace the hyper-aggressive attitude that won him the primary. Earlier Thursday, Trump moved to invest almost $5 million in battleground state advertising to address daunting challenges in the states that will make or break his White House ambitions.
Trump is trailing Clinton in averages of recent polls in all four states where his campaign has started running ads. The final stretch of the protracted campaign traditionally starts after Labor Day, which falls on September 5 this year. “I have done that – and, believe it or not, I regret it”.
Trump is to hold a news conference and rally in Colorado next Thursday and they said they expect details will come then.
Mrs Clinton took to Facebook to explain her own absence by saying that while her “heart breaks” for Louisiana, “right now the relief effort can’t afford any distractions”.
