Clinton’s campaign has been largely shake-up free. Manafort’s deputy, Rick Gates, who has been travelling with Trump, is expected to maintain a senior role. The website, which Bannon has been closely involved with since its launch in 2007, has also been a center for conspiracy theories about Clinton’s health as well as stories about Bill Clinton’s alleged treatment of women.

Conway, who specializes in polls, will be promoted at a time that Trump fans are hinging their hope on the 2012 election standby of “unskewing” the polls, given Hillary Clinton’s huge lead in state polls across the country.
Trump has fallen behind Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in opinion polls nationally and in vital swing states, raising the prospect of a wipeout in the November 8 election that could hurt Republicans in congressional and state races.
Donald Trump is expressing distrust of USA intelligence as he prepares to get his first intelligence briefing Wednesday.
“I think he’s having a great week, giving these back-to-back speeches on how to defeat radical Islamic terrorism”, Conway said Wednesday. A campaign release highlighted that Bloomberg Politics has called Bannon the “most unsafe political operative in America”.
Conway told the AP the moves were “an expansion at a critical time in the homestretch”.
Trump, Mook added, “has officially won the fight to let Trump be Trump”. The site faced an internal rebellion over Trump coverage, which Bannon approved and orchestrated, according to a Vanity Fair report.
“Kellyanne Conway and Steve Bannon are two of the conservative movement’s most talented and trusted strategists”, said Viguerie. “They are extremely capable, highly qualified people who love to win and know how to win”, Trump said in the statement.
Conway denied the staff changes constitute a shake-up. All of that came to an end in March when he took part in a mass staff exodus after the website sided with the Trump campaign and Corey Lewandowski over Michelle Fields’ accusation that Lewandowski manhandled her when she tried to ask Trump a question.
That’s apparently a purposeful shift for the Trump campaign.
Like Bannon, she has also spoken out again news outlets’ treatment of Trump and conservatives. “It manifests itself”, the source said.
Trump, she said, has “shown us who he is”. But some cautioned that such chatter was predictable and inevitable when any campaign faces tough times. Recent polls have showed Clinton consolidating her position among youths and millennial who had supported Bernie Sanders, her rival in the Democratic race.
Clinton’s campaign has called for full disclosure of any ties between pro-Russia entities and Manafort or anyone else from Trump’s team.
Trump has resisted pressure to change his campaign style.
“I am who I am”.
“Everyone talks about, ‘Oh, you’ve got to pivot, ‘” Trump told La Crosse, Wisconsin’s News 8 on Tuesday. You have to be you.

Conway filled the vacant position on August 17 which was previously held by newly-hired CNN political commentator Corey Lewandowski. We thought Mr. Trump’s problem is that he hadn’t changed from the primaries, that he hadn’t tried to reach out to skeptical independents and Republicans, that he hadn’t until recently broadened his message beyond trade and immigration.
