Go Figure. Donald Trump Is Capable of Making a Change When Needed.
Not an easy task, but you probably have a better shot with the guy who worked, in one role or another, in every Republican nominee’s presidential campaign from 1976 to 2008. Sure, Manafort spent the last few years hanging around with deposed Ukrainian prime minister Viktor Yanukovich, but it’s worth seeing how things work with Manafort having a larger role — and whether the style of the Trump campaign can change, or whether it’s “baked in the cake” of the candidate’s personality.

Last week, he said that he would target the families of ISIS terrorists: “you have to take out their families.” Mr. Trump—who never served in the military—obviously does not know that targeting civilians not engaged in hostilities is a war crime. The week before, he said he would bring back waterboarding: “Would I approve waterboarding?
