Top Trump Adviser Jeff Sessions Says Campaign 'Is Not Over'

Top Trump foreign policy adviser Sen. Jeff Sessions says Republican nominee Donald Trump's campaign is "not over," and criticized media coverage claiming his campaign is in trouble.

“You’ve had this whole morning talking about nothing but negative on the Trump campaign,” Sessions said on ABC's "This Week." “This is the kind of thing that does build on itself, and has, I think, made mountains out of molehills."

A New York Times story published Saturday claims the Republican nominee’s advisers are struggling to get him to adjust his tone and rhetoric and that he is "beyond coaching."

Trump denied the story this morning in a tweet: “The failing @nytimes, which never spoke to me, keeps saying that I am saying to advisers that I will change. False, I am who I am-never said."

Sessions noted he had not read the New York Times story, but said he believes Trump still has a "good chance of winning" the election in November. "And that's because the issues are what the American people believe in, and he's right and they are right."

"I think Donald Trump, when he's talking about trade, national security, protecting us from immigration and violence and terrorism, those kind of things he's correct on," the Republican senator from Alabama said.

Sessions also said Trump has been "wrestling" with how to communicate in the general election.

"He had a lot of fun in the primaries. He was really charging away. And he enjoyed that. But it is a different thing to run a presidential election," he said. "He does need to communicate -- and I think he can -- more effectively."

A NBC/WSJ/Marist poll released Friday shows Donald Trump trailing his rival Hillary Clinton by double digits in key battleground states of Virginia and Colorado. Sessions said Trump's slide in the polls could be a result of "negative press coverage" and Clinton's convention bounce.

Sessions also responded to Donald Trump's statement this week that the only way he could lose the swing state of Pennsylvania to Hillary Clinton "is if cheating goes on." Sessions said there is "cheating in every election," and that too much has been read into the Republican nominee's comment.

"What he was saying is, it's going to be a very close election. He believes he's going to win Pennsylvania," Sessions said.

Trump should win Pennsylvania. And Ohio. And Virginia. And North Carolina. And New York. And Michigan. And Illinois. And many other states that often vote Democratic. Why? Because he wants to fix our country. He wants to secure our borders, stop illegal immigration, build the wall and deport illegal aliens. Because he wants to fix our bad trade deals and knows how to do it. Because he wants to cut wasteful over-priced spending so we get a good deal for taxpayers, so we can pay for things we should be able to pay for, and receive good value in return for our expenditures. Because he wants to change foreign policy from an expensive, deadly hand-holding of other countries, and demand they pay their bills in accordance with their agreements. Because he wants to stay out of useless tribal foreign wars that don't serve our interest. He wants to cut taxes to jump-start our failing economy, bring our good jobs back home where they belong, put Americans back to work at jobs that pay wages they can live on and build nice futures with for themselves and their families. He wants to save Social Security and Medicare and even increase benefits so retirees have more to live on, which is all possible with the new job creation that actually funds SS and Medicare through payroll taxes. More good paying jobs, more payroll taxes, more funding for Social Security and Medicare.

Trump is right on everything relating to fixing our country. Everything. He is the most perfect candidate we've had in my lifetime from a policy standpoint. He is also the most qualified, most accomplished, most intelligent candidate with a proven track record that we've had to vote for in well, probably the history of the United States.

If Americans don't grab this opportunity, they are throwing our country down the sewer. We'll see how many Real Americans we have left on November 8.

Keep working Trump Supporters. There are still a lot of people who don't know that much about Trump, all they know is what the MEDIA tells them, which is all wrong and must be corrected.
