From Ed Morrissey at Hot Air Politico: Trump handing the campaign keys to the lobbyists?
Well, Republicans wanted Donald Trump’s campaign to act more professional. Who better to manage that than … professionals? Politico’s Ken Vogel reported last night that the shift from Corey Lewandowski to Paul Manafort has changed more than just personnel — it has brought the Trump campaign under control of lobbyists, an industry Trump explicitly derided earlier in the primary cycle: . . .
Trump, faced with the danger Cruz posed on ground organization and delegate selection, had to bring in the professionals much earlier. Will that make a difference to voters in upcoming states? Recent history suggests that it won’t disturb the emotional connections already built by a candidate,

Do Trump supporters know where he is on anything? Do they even know his immigration policy? From Marc C. Thiessen writing at The American Enterprise Institute (Nov 2015):
Message to the GOP: Trump supports amnesty
Trump’s supporters loved his promise this week to create a “deportation force” to remove all 11 million illegal immigrants living in America, and his repeated declaration that everyone here illegally will “have to go.”
But his supporters tend to overlook is his other promise — repeated in Tuesday’s Fox Business debate — that under his immigration plan “they will come back.”
That’s right. Under Trump’s immigration plan almost all of 11 million illegal aliens (save for a small minority with criminal records) will get to return and get permanent legal status to stay here in America. (snip)
If anything, the “touchback” plan Trump endorses was attacked by conservatives back in 2007. In an editorial, National Review called touchback a “fraud” that gives illegal aliens “their own privileged pathway” ahead of “applicants who have complied with US immigration laws.”
That is precisely what Trump is proposing. Under his plan, illegal aliens don’t have to go to the end of the line behind those who have complied with our immigration laws. They get an “expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal.” They get to cut the line and then stay in America.
