Lots of suspicious yellow water on the Cruz command center floor now...

A Rino hack.

Yeah.

I'm sure the Tea Party will roll over for this Rino scum.

Manafort is the topic of this thread...not the GOPe.

My thoughts? Campaigns have to mature and shift gears when nearing the convention. Trump has the momentum but he has to lock down the delegate count by the convention.

Manafort is THE best guy to do that.

“The ultimate insider GOPe lobbyist. Trump is showing his true colors.”

So you’re saying Ronald Reagan was true GOPe.

“So when Trump hires his own Dole-Ford-Bushes type insider we find that quite ironic. “

Don’t you mean Reagan type? This guy was hired by Ronald Reagan.

Manafort was a campaign consultant for GWB. Cruz worked on those campaigns. Manafort probably knows how Cruz operates and how to counterpunch.

"Can't wait to see how Trump supporters explain this away."? It isn't obvious? The core of US values is a sense of fair play. When someone doesn't play fair, you do whatever it takes to win. Manafort sounds terrific and like he understands how deeply offensive Cruz's campaign techniques are.

From an earlier thread:

There were, however, three pro-Trump delegates on the ballot who weren’t sanctioned by the campaign. One of them, Cully Marshall, made his case for Trump in a poem.

“He’s our only hope against Hillary, that lying crooked witch,” Marshall said. “He’s going to build that wall and make Hillary El Chapo’s personal...” He trailed off.

After some digging, Davis returned with a solution to the mystery of the missing delegates. One of the delegates had failed to pay the necessary fee to get on the ballot. He assumed the other was left off for similar reasons.

“Administrative error,” he said.

Yes, Trump hires THE BEST people. LOL!

Cruz hired a Bush. A lot of those who have endorsed him are GOPe - Lindsey Grahm, Nicky Haley, Scott Walker, and others. The only one I felt is not straight GOPe is Mike Lee.

Trump gets to a critical point in this campaign season, and hires the best man for the job he needs done. And a man, allow me to point out, who also served Reagan. I don’t think it odd that he hired the man, I would think it odd if he did not select the person with the best background and the best record of results.

The man will be working FOR Trump, not the other way round. That is a thing you seem to be missing.

He claims to have “advised” Reagan as a very young man. Before that he helped Ford, Reagan’s arch enemy. Since then it has been Dole and the Bushes. Yup, total GOPe insider lobbyist. A good fit for Trump.

"this guy is one you wouldn’t want your daughter to go to dinner with..."

Wow, so you're squealing over a guy you wouldn't trust your daughter with? Everyday I learn more about the mind of Trump supporters.

Can't wait to see hw Trump supporters explain this away

I'll add to my answer. Don't you listen to Trump at rallies? He's explained to us MANY TIMES that when he negotiates a deal, he'll get the very best people to get the job done. They won't always be the nicest people, some might even be mean, but they'll negotiate a great deal. At this phase, Manafort has the focus and the skills and is in it to get the job done.

Geeesh......you really should spend more time listening to Mr. Trump.

Cruzers on this forum ridicule Trump for complaining about delegate poaching. Why complain when he hires someone to help shepherd delegates? Jealousy?

These Cruz guys run from thread to thread bubbling over with the LOLz.

They won't be so full of LOLz in June when Trump passes the 1237 mark.;-)

well..... Cruz went this route in the last few weeks, since march 15th or thereabouts.

Sad as ultimately a look at the math shows the best would be

Trump/Cruz 2016...Cruz 2020

Trump may take the nomination if this new chap is really good, but Trump will not have enough support to make it to the magic 66 million votes unless he has Cruz along for the ride.

Both candidates need to suck it up and make peace. together they will be a formidable ticket.

We were hoping he would hire someone at random from one of his rallies.

But no, dammit, Trump had to go and hire the best man for the job.


...very funny stuff
Thanks

I am embarrassed for many of my Trump supporting friends. This thread shows exactly how much kool-aide many Trump supporters have drunk. Cruz does it..”bad, evil, GOPe insider”. Trump does it...”BRILLIANT! Cruz is still bad for doing it”. Somewhere, someplace in a very old book, there is a passage about this very thing.
