At first I thought, who is this guy, now I know, this guy is one you wouldn’t want your daughter to go to dinner with, this is a ‘no mess around’ guy...WOW!!! GO.TRUMP.GO!!!

A Rino hack.

Yeah.

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

Jedi.

"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.

You know, HL27, your instincts are right on about Manafort.

I reran the interview multiple times.  It was only two minutes long, and WOW, this guy said a lot and wasted not a single word.  In a few sort sentences he:

• Praised Cruz while exposing his campaign's great weakness. 
• Made light of his insertion into the Trump camp, acknowledging the great campaigning already accomplished.
• Made clear that his boss is Trump, without losing any measure of his own authority.
• Instilled confidence that Trump will prevail and win before the convention.

This guy is the epitome of "art of the deal".  In Manafort, Trump has teamed with a true peer, a man of great gravitas and political skill.

Gee, Donald.  Can you please appoint this guy as Secretary of State or Official Slayer of Chinese Dragons?!

An Emerson passage seems to fit:

"Repose and cheerfulness are the badge of the gentleman — repose in energy.  The Greek battle-pieces are calm; the heroes, in whatever violent actions engaged, remain serene; as we say of Niagara, that it falls without speed."
