Bannon is “possibly the most risky guy in all of American politics”, Beck said, declaring that Trump’s decision to hire him is giving Republicans who are backing the GOP nominee a ideal excuse for withdrawing their support.

Kellyanne Conway has gone from senior advisor to campaign manager.
Trump hired Stephen Bannon, the executive chairman of conservative website Breitbart News LLC, as his campaign’s chief executive and Kellyanne Conway as campaign manager.
She and Bannon “have been added to what I would call the “core four” of that senior team and we’re going to divide responsibilities according to our best and highest uses”, Conway said.
Her campaign manager, Robby Mook, was simultaneously holding a call for reporters on the matter.
But Representative Mark Meadows of North Carolina called Trump’s move a good prescription for anxious congressional Republicans.
“They had to make some changes because there was nowhere else for them to go”, Stutts said.
Bannon’s ascension solidifies an informal, mutually beneficial relationship between Breitbart, which has unapologetically championed Trump, and the campaign.
Manafort deputy Rick Gates, who has been traveling often with Trump, is expected to maintain a senior role with the campaign. Under Bannon, Breitbart has also led the anti-immigration charge that Trump has embraced wholeheartedly in his campaign.
“They’re terrific people, they’re winners, they’re champs, and we need to win it”, Trump told the AP. He said the Trump campaign for the last two or three weeks, in particular, has seemed “off course”. “Calling out the media.it was very subtle, but there was a little twist, it was the media-political establishment he was going after, so it was nearly like he was running against the press, as if the press could be ejected from office”.
Trump has resisted pleas from fellow Republicans to overhaul his flamethrowing approach on the campaign trail that powered his surge to the top of his party’s field in the primary season.
Trump appeared to be trying to connect with minority and independent voters during a speech Tuesday night in Wisconsin, where he tamped down his natural urge to attack critics, exaggerate facts and speak off the cuff.
Several people in touch with Trump or his top political advisers in recent days said they had heard a shake-up was possible. “I don’t want to change”.
Manafort, who will remain on the campaign but will see his influence scaled back, drew unwelcome attention this week when The New York Times reported that his name was on secret ledgers showing cash payments designated to him of more than $12 million from a Ukrainian political party with close ties to Russian Federation. Her focus in Cleveland today was the costs of Trump’s proposals to give trillions of dollars in tax breaks to wealthy people like himself and his family, Wall Street and big corporations. “I’m not surprised if that happens again”, he said, because the GOP wants to keep the issue alive because it relitigates what career professionals have made a clear decision on. “If you start pivoting, you’re not being honest with people”. She is a recognizable face to cable-news devotees, and she hasn’t always been in Trump’s corner, leading a Ted Cruz-aligned super PAC during the Republican primary.

Lewandowski said Tuesday evening on CNN that while Trump may try to be “more inclusive”, Trump “knows who he is internally”. He said voters will making their choice based on what each candidate is going to do create more jobs and make positive difference in their live.
