The Trump campaign did not respond to HuffPo’s request for comments. “But chances of winning have been somewhat diminished since the time of the Democratic Convention”, Rather said in an interview on “Squawk Box”.

“The Democrats continue to take the African-American vote for granted….”

“The campaign is kind of being run in a little bit of a … you know …” “There is going to be what we’re referring to as “a day of action’, where we are working with the Missouri Republican Party to bring out as many of our volunteers as possible, get that ground game started, get all of our volunteers organized”.

Trump also told the Fox News host that he would not make use of detention centers, though it’s as yet unclear where undocumented immigrants would be held if he were to use a deportation task force to round them up.
But Trump’s campaign has pushed back on the notion that he’s reversing course.

He said he would be more anxious about criminals and gang members rather than ordinary individuals who aren’t involved in a lot of violent crime.
Consistently claiming others as the focus of his fundraising also helps Trump obscure his change from a mostly self-funded primary candidate to one who raises money like everyone else. Given the available evidence, I suppose it’s safe to say Trump’s position is in flux.
Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-Queens) said he believes Trump is actually trying to appeal to the “racists of the world” when he speaks to stereotypes of black Americans as poor, under-educated and under-employed.

Brian Fallon, the Clinton campaign’s spokesperson said that Clinton had provided all the work emails “in her possession” when the State Department asked in 2014.
