Some are still stunned with the speed at which Donald Trump suddenly elevated himself from front-runner to presumptive nominee following Mr. Trump’s landslide victory in Indiana on Tuesday.
Paul Manafort, Donald Trump’s campaign supervisor, a man who has navigated the often turbulent waters of national politics for several decades, is likely not a bit surprised, for it was Manafort who just a few short weeks ago put the fear of God into a collection of anti-Trump GOP Establishment figures during a posh resort retreat in Florida – a meeting which it can now be said altered the trajectory of the Republican primary race and quite possibly, the future of the country.

Last line of article:
“And now the eyes of Manafort are focused fully upon Hillary Clinton.”
Reporter: “Will Indiana put the nail in the coffin for Cruz?’
Manafort: “Last Tuesday was the nail in the coffin, Indiana is when he realizes he’s inside it.”
THAT’S the kind of guy you want on your side. No wonder the GOP establishment types were rethinking their future.
BUMP!
The reason Ulstermann is prescient--and banned--is that he writes his speculative observations as fact.
For example, he writes of the Hollywood Florida event where Manafort met with various GOP power brokers as though he had an agent inside the meetings.
Doubtful that he did.
He is a careful observer and is an excellent writer but it is difficult to tease apart fact from fiction in his stories.
I love reading DC Whispers and the Ulstermann Report, but I read them with a grain of salt.
VKL...I pinged you on this comment because IIRC you are an Ulstermann fan also.
Manafort is the bomb. Smartest move Trump has made.
Thanks for your vapid commentary. We are all dumber for having read it.
Are there only four paragraphs in this article? If not, where is the rest of it?
I don’t know if Manafort is Italian or not but he’d have made an awesome character on The Sopranos.

LOL! Loved that imagery!
Paul John Manafort, Jr.[1] is an American lobbyist and political consultant. He was an adviser to the presidential campaigns of Republicans Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain, and is currently employed by the presidential campaign of Donald Trump ...
Yet another "OUTSIDER" hired by Trump.
But seriously, this guy is apparently a real pro. But he is an insiders insider. Personally I think it was a good and necessary move by Trump. It should but won't end the anti-establishment nonsense. Trump is turning into politician. He has to if he is going to win.
After all, he has to convince the American public that he is the right man for the job. Make that the right PERSON for the job. That's not an easy task when you are dealing with a bunch who, on the average, are not that bright and who, at this point, think that a famous felon is more qualified to be President than Trump.
Manafort did come on board pro Bono, he WILL receive a VERY handsome paycheck if he succeeds!!!!!!

Lyin Ted still at it...
Mr. Trump has shown from the beginning of his campaign the way he will address the problems which arrive. Who had the idea of leasing a landing site for the free copter rides Mr. Trump was offering to the children at the state fair? The RNC put a barrier in front, Mr. Trump made alternate plans to go around that big barrier and proceeded with his agenda. Go Go GO!! Mr. TRUMP THANK YOU!! Let’s make AMERICA great, again!
You think Trump should hire someone with no experience??
Well, maybe not the Colosseum, but perhaps at the Hot Gates:

There is tremendous breadth and depth on his outline re immigration.
I urge everyone to spend time going through Trump's position papers.

Is Manafort in for the duration, or was he hired just through the convention?
Hope it’s the former.
Yup. That’s the actual take-away from the article.
Reporter: “Will Indiana put the nail in the coffin for Cruz?’
Manafort: “Last Tuesday was the nail in the coffin, Indiana is when he realizes he’s inside it.”
