Asked on CNN if Trump would mobilize this deportation force in the White House, Conway responded: “To be determined”.

Others in the campaign, though, suggested there would be no backtracking on Trump’s proposals to significantly tighten immigration policies.
But there remained significant doubts that the campaign makeover – as well as Trump’s ability to stay focused and avoid committing further self-inflicted wounds – would hold long enough to close the gap with Clinton seen in many polls of voters nationwide and in battleground states.
In a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union”, Trump’s new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, suggested the candidate’s proposed force, which would forcibly remove the approximately 11 million immigrants living in the USA without permission, may be off the table.
Clinton’s team is also releasing a new ad that questions the judgment of GOP rival Donald Trump.
“All it takes is one wrong move”, Clinton’s ad finishes, with the searing sound of fighter jets zipping overhead.
After months of not airing any ads, the Trump campaign announced last week that they would begin airing about $4 million in television time in four states to air over the next 10 days: $1.4 million is reserved in Florida; $985,000 in Pennsylvania, $830,000 in North Carolina and $745,000 in OH, according to data from CMAG/Kantar Media, a company that tracks political advertising. Clinton, though, had a private email server at her home in Chappaqua, N.Y.
Two states that the Clinton campaign will not air local ads in through September and October: Virginia and Colorado. The Justice Department investigated her practices and concluded there was no basis to recommend charges be brought against her, although FBI Director James Comey called her handling of the emails “extremely careless”.
Donald Trump’s campaign wavered Sunday on whether the Republican presidential nominee would implement the controversial “deportation force” Trump promised during the Republican presidential primary.
“Donald Trump has been disciplined and mature”. After seeing his role diminished on August 15, campaign chairman Manafort was gone by August 19, when he resigned following revelations about his previous political consulting work for the Russian backed leader in Ukraine. “And I think he’s going to get this thing back on track”, Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman, said Sunday.

Trump’s new campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, echoed Priebus’ optimism, contending that the candidate just had the best week of his campaign, “mostly because he’s able to be himself, the authentic Donald Trump”.
