Top Sessions aide joins Trump campaign
Washington Post ^ | Jan. 25, 2016 | Robert Costa

Stephen Miller, a trusted aide to Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, will join Donald Trump's presidential campaign on Wednesday, serving as a senior policy adviser to the Republican front-runner.

Hope Hicks, a spokesman for Trump, confirmed Miller's move on Monday.

The hiring of Miller is the latest sign that Trump's tight-knit campaign team is expanding as he continues to lead GOP polls and planning to release more policies in the coming weeks as the primary race unfolds.

It also underscores Trump's increasingly cozy relationship with Sessions, a prominent immigration hard-liner in Congress

“Miller won notice especially in 2013 during the immigration debate when he guided Sessions through countless interviews as the senator opposed the “Gang of Eight” and the push for comprehensive-immigration reform by many Republicans.

When Sessions and Trump began to build a relationship last year, he asked Miller to work with Trump’s campaign as it thought through its immigration position. That experience laid the groundwork for Miller’s hire, a Trump associate said.”

I guess it should be no surprise the bailout RINO would endorse Trump.

Only good can come from this.

It also verifies Trump’s seriousness with the immigration issue and that he won’t waver.

I have never endorsed Cruz. But Sessions was okay, with occasional RINOisms, but now he’s going too far down that path.

Sessions loaned Trump his most trusted advisor.

A very big deal for Trumps campaign.

“I guess it should be no surprise the bailout RINO would endorse Trump.”

WHAT are you talking about?

Sessions? BUSH’s bailouts? Wrong!

“But Sessions broke with the Bush administration in voting against the financial bailout bill on Oct. 1. “Though well-intentioned, the administration’s plan represents unprecedented governmental intervention in the economy,” Sessions said in a statement. Sessions said he doesn’t believe in “protecting reckless investors” but supports “maintaining a healthy framework for investment.”
* Voted NO on $192B additional anti-recession stimulus spending.

His objections to Sessions is that he isn’t endorsing Cruz.
