Så oavsett kampanjledare o påverkan, Trump och hans närmaste allierade reder ut detta. Alla hans budskap är ungefärliga, the bad cop tar i så han spricker nästan, the good coop tonar ner, det är hans segerkoncept! Som jag påtalat många gånger inget är rent svart eller vitt, skalad är glidande, två steg fram sen ett tillbaka, genialt!
Jag är osäker på om det är genialt. "You can't win them all", som det heter. En Trump som alienerar för många av sina vita väljare och dessutom inte lyckas nå ända fram till minoriteterna har snarare orsakat en dubbel skada än om linjen varit tydlig hela vägen. Nuvarande taktik är svårbegriplig och vag, framför allt spelar han högt.
Byron York, Washington Examiner:
Team Trump makes a mess of immigration
Citat:
One thing is certain in the current brouhaha over Donald Trump's immigration proposals: the candidate and his top aides are making a mess of things. What is the status of his old proposal to deport all immigrants who are in the United States illegally? After days of Trump and his senior advisers talking about it, the answer is entirely unclear.
The fundamental problem vexing Team Trump is that the deportation proposal was never really clear. Yes, Trump said it often last year, but he also pointedly left it out of many immigration discussions, as well. It went largely unnoticed, for example, that when Trump posted an immigration position paper on his campaign website last year, it had a lot about a border wall and enhanced enforcement — and nothing at all about mass deportations.
Citat:
What Trump does could have a serious effect on his campaign. Perhaps a new, more moderate position might attract some undecided voters. But a retreat from the deportation pledge, or at least what many supporters believed Trump's deportation pledge to be, could disillusion some who have supported and worked for Trump's candidacy. There are a significant number of Trump supporters who were drawn to him because of his stand on immigration.
Byron York gör också paralleller till Trumps affärsstrategier och undrar om hans tidigare (?) hållning var ett exempel på "asking for about three times more than you want".
