Manafort is a horrible guy you do not want to be near but he is good at what he does.

IMO Trump has been Trying to win the nomination on the cheap and its a poor strategy. If he wants to be President he’s going to have to go big or go home. I am sure Manaforte has clued him into that. Rallies are great but they don’t win the race.

I have to wonder who lead him to Trump?

Roger Stone used to be in partnership with Manafort. Plus Manafort has an apartment in Trump Tower.

I have to wonder who lead him to Trump? Or Trump to him?

Manafort is a long time GOPe insider who has worked with Ford, Dole and the Bushes. He claims he has known Donnie for decades.

So much for Trump's "outsider" status. Trump has been supporting GOPe and the Democrats his entire life.

I like Donald’s strategy. He lets his opponents feel over confident and Brash. Even to the point of arguing that stealing isn’t stealing.

Then walks in the big player who probably wrote the rule book for delegate sweeps. All along its been the real business man against the pretend kid who is going to work for us.

If this election year couldn’t be more exciting!

Doesn’t it make Trump a humongous hypocrite to criticize Cruz for trying to gain the support of delegate when he goes out and hires his own guy to do the same thing?

How is it “stealing” when one guy does it, but not the other?

Gee, things are looking up......

Manafort says Cruz is about to hit a (cough) rough patch.

Sure made my day.

This was an excellent choice by the Trump campaign. Very important to have a strong convention manager. The GOP will, as we all know, try to cheat. Remember Sean Connery’s line in the untouchables.

Cruz will be DESTROYED in NY, I would be surprised if he gets 10%.

Wonder what Manafort knows that is not yet obvious about Cruz!

overall, I think Donald has shown how even for much less $ you can get far in elections. look at all the wasted money by other candidates who’ve suspended and still active.

Add in the fact electronic voting can be manipulated, what is the point of all these millions and millions $ spent?

As I watch Manafort I here the theme song of the Godfather in the background. Wonder why!

Too funny.

While I love a lively primary..... I hope we don't have to deal with horse heads this election.

I wonder how many severed horse heads Manafort will put in delegate beds to make offers that can’t be refused.
