Conway, whose background is as a pollster, said the campaign wants to get away from a focus on Trump’s personality and onto the Obama administration’s record, and Clinton as a continuation of what it describes as unpopular policies such as the Obama’s health care law. In spite of past fiery rhetoric that alienated many minority voters, and speaking, as usual, to an overwhelmingly white crowd, Trump said that he wants “an inclusive party”. “That’s just plain fact”, the Alabama lawmaker said.

On the other side, winning Hispanic voters will be a very hard mission for Donald Trump.
Clinton campaign officials dismissed the idea of a changed Trump as nonsense. In Fredericksburg, he spoke with the aid of a teleprompter, as he has at rallies all this week, and continued to strike a more inclusive, less caustic tone.
Trump is “wrestling” with how to remove those in the country illegally, Sen. And he blamed “border-crossers” who are “being relocated to the state” for taking jobs away.
“No group in America has been more harmed by Hillary Clinton’s policies than African Americans”, said the businessman during a rally in MI. Conway responded by saying that Trump’s black community comments were for “all Americans”.
Clinton’s campaign spent $38 million in July, about double the Trump campaign’s outlay.
Republican leaders, including former members of Congress, have called for the Republican National Committee to stop helping Trump and refocus its resources on helping candidates win down-ballot races for the House of Representatives and the Senate. Immigration – a significant concern for Hispanic voters and a central issue of Trump’s candidacy – came up at the candidate’s prompting, according to Jacob Monty, a Houston-based immigration attorney who handles complex immigration issues for large corporations, including the New York Yankees.

Last week, Trump campaign Chairman Paul Manafort resigned amid more reports about his financial ties to Russian-backed Ukraine politicians, included ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, whom Putin supported. Instead, almost half the money he spent in July went to one web design firm, whose president is the campaign’s director of digital marketing. What do you have to lose by trying something new like Trump? Millions more went to air travel.
Some Trump’s consultants are also well-paid.
His campaign thus has moved in recent days to soften his edges and to try to shift attention past the turmoil caused by the dramatic shake-up of his top management team last week. Yet the campaign’s payroll remained thin, and there did not appear to be much new in the way of office leases across the country, including in critical battleground states such as Ohio.
Trump, smiles as he takes the stage during the final day of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Thursday, July 21, 2016. And he’s boasted of holding the line on his campaign spending. But he’s running critically low on time to build an operation that can compete with Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
Mook quickly and emphatically dodged this question, insisting only that “millions of people” depend on the foundation, and instead started accusing Clinton’s opponent in the election, Republican nominee Donald Trump, of being “just a puppet for the Kremlin”.
