DONALD J. TRUMP ANNOUNCES EXPANSION OF NOMINATION EFFORTS UNDER CONVENTION MANAGER PAUL MANAFORT
donaldjtrump.com ^ | 04/07/2016 | Trump

Posted on 04/07/2016 10:51:16 AM PDT by GIdget2004

Today Donald J. Trump is announcing that he is consolidating the functions related to the nomination process and assigning them to Convention Manager, Paul Manafort. In this capacity, Mr. Manafort will oversee, manage, and be responsible for all activities that pertain to Mr. Trump's delegate process and the Cleveland Convention.

Working closely with Campaign Manager Corey R. Lewandowski and Deputy Campaign Manager Michael Glassner, Mr. Manafort will direct the campaign's activities in areas including delegate operations, Washington, DC outreach and the DC office opening next week.

Mr. Trump stated, "My campaign continues to receive tremendous support from voters all across the country. We have won far more states, far more delegates, and millions more votes than any other candidate. The nomination process has reached a point that requires someone familiar with the complexities involved in the final stages. I am organizing these responsibilities under someone who has done this job successfully in many campaigns. This will allow the rest of my team to deal with the increasing needs of a national campaign for both the pre-Convention phase and most importantly, the general election. Paul is a well-respected expert in this regard and we are pleased to have him join the efforts to Make America Great Again."

Mr. Manafort commented, "Securing the Republican nomination is an intricate series of steps that requires a comprehensive strategy. As part of the campaign team, my job is to secure and protect Mr. Trump's nomination and that is what we will do. In this regard, I will be working closely with Mr. Lewandowski and Mr. Glassner to ensure Mr. Trump's nomination. I am honored that he has allowed me to join him in this effort. Mr. Trump has created a historic campaign that has moved the American people."

From the description of his job, I'd say he's the new campaign manager, without the title.

Trump is not a professional politician. He did not realize other candidates would already be trying to steal his delegates. Cruz couldn’t win at the ballot box and so now he tries to steal Trump’s delegates.

There issomething deeply dishonest about Ted Cruz. Cruz saying “we must respect the will of voters” at the exact moment he is trying to subvert the votes they cast is disgusting. Nothing principled or conservative about him.

Paul Manafort reputedly has ties to the Russian oligarchs going back twenty years. But if it comes down to choosing between that association and Hillary Clinton being in bed with an agent of the Muslim Sisterhood (?) the scale measuring lesser evils tips very much in his favor.

If The Donald makes it to the convention and effortlessly seals the deal on his way in then it is proof of his competence.

Go for it Trump! I am hoping to see it happen.

Looks as if Donald Trump is working on #2 and #3 right now.

Here are Donald J. Trump’s core principles, published in 1987.

1. Think Big
2. Protect the Downside and the Upside Will Take Care of Itself
3. Maximize Your Options
4. Know Your Market
5. Use Your Leverage
6. Enhance Your Location
7. Get the Word Out
8. Fight Back
9, Deliver the Goods
10. Contain the Costs
11. Have Fun

Now, if any of the Consistent Conservatives had applied even part of this over the past 30 years the country would not be in the shape it is in today. Instead Consistent Conservatives have stood, marched, and yammered for “family values”, “small government”, “lower taxes”, etc., all while just the opposite happened, over and over again. One betrayal of principle after another.

Ha ha. Good thing you’re on the Trump campaign - to get this *news* out to us, first.

If its Legal to buy off delegates, as Cruzdavidians have pretty much bragged about, then start buying, Donald.

ketamineKruz doesn't have a ground game, the GOPe does.

The only real grass roots game Raphael had was in Iowa. He did a good job corraling those snake fondlers.

Since then, the GOPe has done anything and everything to stop Trump. Count Copulot is their last hope.

I think Trump has been stunned by the dirtiness of it all. And Ted’s lies, it’s like Donald Jr said, people like Ted couldn’t survive for five minutes in a real business like Trump’s where 22K paychecks are signed on the front.

Hey Ted how about writing a check like this instead of ones to Carly and ones to pay off Walker’s campaign debt??

Anybody with trigger time in American Corporate Life will sense what this most likely is. Corey Lewandowski is being shown the door. Not as abrupt as "Your Fired!", but it is what it is. Not only that, Trump is way late to rush and learn the delegate game. He as a leader should have forseem this over a year ago, and strategically planned for it accordingly--rather than suffer embarrassment state after state as the Cruz Team gets it done. But then again, the lower-downs on the totem pole will have to fall on their swords. Yep. Classic velvet-carpeted executive suite CYA ethics.
