      5. So the Conway faction was hoping headlines from today would be Trump Moderates on Immigration, Wins Over Suburban Women.

      6. I think it's entirely possible that Trump was going to give a Conway-style speech but at last minute went with Bannon/Miller speech.

      7. This is purely hypothetical, but there was a big shift from relatively restrained Trump of Mexico to frothing xenophobe of speech.

      8. So it would make sense that Conway faction was feeding Times stories about pivot to moderation which were belied by Trump's actual speech

      9. Leaving aside Kremlinology, main takeaway is attempt of pros like Conway to professionalize Trump campaign isn't working.

      10. The big thing from today wasn't what Trump said but how he interacted with the crowd. He was feeding off their anger.

      11. In Mexico, Trump was barely awake. He was boxed in. Unhappy. In Arizona he came alive again. The anger of the crowd gave him energy.

      12. Yes, Trump is a hate-vampire. It's the spewing hate of the mob that keeps him going. https://twitter.com/doomtwerk/status/771217493536800768 …

      13. Correction. Looks like it was going to be a Bannon/Miller speech all along, so Conway wasn't out-witted on that front.

      14. The larger pattern is that Trump's messaging is incoherent because his campaign is riven by factions with very different agendas.

      15. Conway faction wants to run generic GOP race; Bannon faction wants alt right ideological victory, family faction wants to save brand

          Conway was getting somewhere w/ his poll numbers. Could've turned this into real race.

          16. Of the three major factions, only one (Conway) wants to run a real professional campaign. And that's the least powerful faction.

          Yes, and note nearly complete absence of agency in the principal. No desire or ability to choose. Swayed by the last person.

          Is he just that abnormal, or does he have conflicting goals? Listens to Conway enough to pretend he's trying to win.

          4th faction is Trump himself, who just wants spotlight/roar of the crowds, and will endanger all other factions’ interests for it.

          Like there is a "family faction' - even if they divorce, they can still be cousins, right?
