DONALD Trump is like a parasite that has been injected into the Republican Party and could damage their chances of winning elections for years, says a leading strategist.

Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee met with Hispanic supporters of the real estate mogul’s campaign at Trump Tower Saturday.
Conway also says that as a pollster, she knows what voters really care about is their own tax rates, and she argues Trump offers a better plan on that than Democrat Hillary Clinton.
A few more reactions on social media to Trump’s words to African-Americans can be read below. Sources in the room told BuzzFeed that Trump spoke about a “humane and efficient” way to work with undocumented immigrants in the country now, which was characterized by BuzzFeed as a way to legalize some and let them stay.
While Trump was in Louisiana, Clinton called the state’s governor during a day spent fundraising on the East Coast.
For months, Trump has firmly said that he would implement mass deportations, saying last summer that all undocumented immigrants “have to go”. “Democratic crime policies, education policies and economic policies have produced only more crime”.
“Hillary Clinton is banking on her friend Terry McAuliffe on getting thousands of violent felons to the voting booths in effort to cancel out the votes of both law enforcement and crime victims”, Trump said as the audience booed.
“We don’t need to conflate the two”, Conway said, saying the question is about Clinton’s leadership and her ability to stand up to enemies in the world. Manafort, while squashing conservative dissenters including the NeverTrump crowd at the RNC, was brought on board to moderate Trump’s message and style, to pull in establishment support, to smooth over relations between Trump and the RNC (namely Chairman Priebus), and consolidate the Republican Party. The newspaper noted that Obama interrupted his two-week vacation on Martha’s Vineyard earlier this week to attend a fundraiser for Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on the MA island.
Clinton seems more than content to let Trump dominate coverage on cable news and in national newspapers.
And then there’s this piece I was reading about today, which I found to be another potential indictment against Trump’s genuine standing as the Republican nominee for president – does anyone remember how Trump lambasted Senator Cruz’s wife for being on Goldman Sachs’ payroll? He is also a political analyst for WCAX-TV and WVMT radio and is a regular contributor to the Times Argus, Rutland Herald and Vermont Business Magazine.
