Anyone who doubts this should only consider Trump’s idea of an appeal to black voters: “What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump?” The number among white Americans was 84 percent, with 40 percent of white Americans strongly favoring a path to citizenship.

As he did earlier on Twitter, Trump seized on the shooting death in Chicago on Friday of Nykea Aldridge, 32, a cousin of NBA basketball star Dwyane Wade. Specifically, Trump has said if elected he would establish a “deportation force” to institute the mass deportation of the 11 million undocumented people presently living in the United States. “This shouldn’t happen in America”.
He adds, “We can not, as a society, tolerate this level of violence and suffering in our own cities”. He released an online video that includes footage of the former first lady referring to some young criminals as “super predators” in the 1990s. The video also shows Clinton’s former Democratic rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders, had criticized her for the remark, and she has since apologized for it. Clinton has since apologized.
Conway believes that the Trump campaign can reach these undercover voters by going “to them where they live, literally”.
“So what’s Trump going to call his amnesty plan: The “Gang of One” proposal?” tweeted Mark Krikorian, a staunch opponent of illegal immigration.

Trump adds that he aims to protect the renewable fuel standard, eliminate “job-killing regulations” and “provide desperately needed tax relief”.
In an interview Friday, Bornstein says the 70-year-old Trump is in excellent health both physically and mentally. “I’m not going to be supporting the legalization of people that are here unlawfully, because that is amnesty”, he said.
Kaine says Trump’s promotion of the discredited theory that President Barack Obama wasn’t born in the US highlights his insensitivity toward African-Americans.
To be sure, 58 percent of whites without a college degree support Trump, won over by his brash, populist message.
Of course, that’s why Trump’s pitch worked in the primary: He was saying what a lot of Republicans wanted to hear.
Amid his ongoing appeal to black voters, Trump drew an online backlash Saturday for a tweet he sent in response to the shooting death of National Basketball Association star Dwayne Wade’s cousin, who was gunned down near the Chicago school where she had planned to register her children.
“She was the mother of four and was killed while pushing her infant child down the street – shot”. “Just what I have been saying”.
It’s no secret Donald Trump is a prolific tweeter.
“One person responded: “@realDonaldTrump Glad you’re not making this about you. Originally he had spelled Dwyane wrong, but deleted the incorrect version, replacing it with a new tweet using the same wording. “The challenge is those same Republican voters seem to have made up their minds, rightly or wrongly, about Hillary Clinton”. “They are in my thoughts and prayers”, he wrote.
“She’s certainly emphasizing all of the things that make many Republicans here in Utah (uncomfortable) with Donald Trump”, Karpowitz said.
“White suburban voters think he’s a racist or running a racist campaign”.
Trump is pivoting, changing, evolving, selling out – whatever you want to call it. The current standard is set to expire in 2022. “Don’t think that will make many steak lovers give it a try”, said Stuart Stevens, a Trump critic and the main strategist for Romney’s campaign in 2012.
“I don’t think anything has changed”, said Rep. Luis Gutierrez, D-Ill., a staunch immigration reform advocate.

He’s skipping a 42-mile motorcycle ride that’s part of a fundraiser hosted by one of the state’s Republican senators, Joni Ernst. Joni Ernst’s annual “Roast and Ride” fundraiser at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. But for the ride, Ernst will be joined by veterans and soldiers – not the Republican presidential nominee. Ted Cruz. But much of the state’s Republican establishment has since rallied around Trump.
Hillary Clinton has arrived at an Federal Bureau of Investigation facility in White Plains, New York, for her first national security briefing as the Democratic presidential nominee.
As President Barack Obama’s secretary of state, Clinton held a high security clearance and received a copy of the President’s Daily Brief – the highest-level US intelligence document that includes sensitive intelligence and analysis from around the world.
But the briefing Saturday in suburban NY is her first since she became her party’s nominee.
