Trump surrogates struggle to speak for him

She wants to put Barack Obama’s immigration plan on steroids.

In targeting what she terms Trump’s bigotry, Clinton hopes to remind voters of controversial statements he has made over the course of the campaign.

Still, Trump stoked the rumors’ flames with his post Sunday evening.

When repeatedly pressed by CNN host Jake Tapper over whether Trump still supported a so-called deportation force, Pence said it was more of a “mechanism, not a policy”.

With these moves, though spoken in a more measured manner than usual and with the aid of a teleprompter, Trump tried to make it clear that his immigration message is a tough as ever in a week when he spoke of a possible softening in this area as a strategy for attracting Hispanic voters. “The deportation force, I would like to address that”.

He was referring to the shooting death on Friday of Nykea Aldridge during an exchange of gunfire between two men as she pushed a baby stroller in Chicago.

After Pence ticked off several of Trump’s immigration policy positions – building a wall along the US-Mexico border and implementing E-verify, a system that allows employers to check whether a job applicant is qualified to work in the US – Tapper noted that the in governor avoided answering whether Trump still supports a deportation force.

However, she didn’t directly answer questions about how Trump would remove undocumented immigrants from the country.

“And what he’s said now is that he will look at that”. Donald Trump is already struggling with a significant surrogate gap.

Donald Trump wants a US-Mexico border wall, “extreme vetting” of new immigrants and deportations of those who commit crimes.

The deportation of illegal immigrants who commit crimes has bipartisan support and has always been a priority of the Obama administration.

Trump even questioned whether those born in the United States to people here illegally are citizens – even though they have automatically been considered citizens since the adoption of the constitution’s 14th Amendment in 1868.

“Well, you’re going to find out from Donald Trump very shortly”.

But neither issue appears to be going away soon. I think she’s been extremely bad for Hispanics.

“These global gangs and cartels will be a thing of the past”, he said.

Tapper pressed Pence several times on whether Trump specifically still wants a “deportation force” – which he’d called for almost a year ago. As for himself, Priebus said he is “comfortable” with birthright citizenship continuing to be the law. “I have no problem in doing so!”

“I’ll tell you this”.

But Trump was saddled with another inflammatory revelation Friday when court papers surfaced showing that an ex-wife of Trump’s new campaign CEO, Stephen Bannon, said Bannon made anti-Semitic remarks when the two battled over sending their daughters to private school almost a decade ago.
