Sam Clovis defected from Rick Perry’s team “at a time when the former Texas governor has been struggling to cover his campaign aides’ salaries. Iowa Republicans said Wednesday that Clovis’ move raises questions about how he reconciles endorsing Trump with his previous stances and statements, and whether he was motivated less by ideology and more by the promise of a big paycheck from a business mogul who has said he is willing to spend as much as a billion dollars to get elected.”
