The woman in charge of running Donald Trump's campaign wants to let Trump be Trump, but in a more disciplined way.

Kellyanne Conway, a Republican pollster and longtime Trump associate who was elevated to be his campaign manager this week, indicated Thursday in separate television interviews that under her guidance, the campaign will be more focused with its messaging while still allowing the boisterous former reality TV star and businessman to be "comfortable being in his own skin."

"And we're going to make sure Donald Trump is comfortable about being in his own skin, that he doesn't lose that authenticity that you simply can't buy and a pollster can't give you. And voters know if you're comfortable in your own skin," she continued. "And let him be him in this sense: He wants to deliver the speech, if he wants to go to a rally, if he wants to connect with the crowd in a way that's very spontaneous, that's wonderful. And that's how he got here. That's how he became the nominee in large part, Alisyn. But at the same time, we have some really serious, pressing problems in this country that I'm hoping will start to be addressed more by the media.

How about those problems be addressed by Trump, instead of him going off against fellow Republicans and Gold Star Mothers?  He hardly mentions Hillary in any of his off-the-cuff rallies.

I see Conway's role as the gal with the shovel following the elephant in the circus parade.  "Well, here's what Donald meant to say but the dastardly media never let him get around to it...." 

That kind of stuff.

Apparently Trump Central forgets that's what gets Orange Glorious in trouble.  "Being Trump" is what put him nearly 8% on the RCP average behind Clinton, before he attempting to sound reasonable and measured, thus cutting the deficit to 5.8%

First ad buy from Trump is modest. $270k in FL, $72k in OH, $78k in PA.

Pro-Clinton side already spent $23m in FL, $17m in OH, $6m in PA.
