Trump convention manager (Manafort): 'Winning isn't enough'
CNN ^ | 4/8/2016 | Julia Manchester

Posted on 04/08/2016 8:00:52 AM PDT by GilGil

Manafort joins the Trump campaign as a contested Republican convention becomes more likely. Trump suffered a critical loss to Texas Sen. Ted Cruz Tuesday in the Wisconsin primary. However, the strategist says he is confident the Cruz campaign will hit a rough patch, allowing Trump to win the 1,237 delegates needed to win the nomination outright.

"Utah and New York are two different states," he said. "By the time we get to California, the momentum is going to be clear, and Ted Cruz's path to victory will be in shambles."

Boy! This guy looks like he is more of an enforcer who breaks people at the kneecaps.

Manafort states Trump gets the 1237 by June and before the convention!

Here's the bottom line:
Manafort told CNN, "I work directly for the boss," a notable departure from the usual workflow at Trump's 2016 operation, where most campaign staff answer to campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

I LIKE THIS!

He’s got the chops and he’s got the confidence to MAKE IT SO.

All Trump needs to do is crack open the checkbook and make Manafort very happy over the next few months. It’s been an amazing trip thus far and the Trump Train is rolling, but now it’s time for a professional convention manager to take across the finish line with all delegates aboard.

If anyone has the ability to communicate with the Trump Campalgn, please echo that We The People are 110% behind Trump and there are millions and millions of us — please do what it takes to STOP THE STEAL, play the game at the higest level, and WIN for us all so we can MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

I don’t think I’ve ever heard any of Trump’s employees call him “Donald” in an interview before, rather than “Mr. Trump”.

I have to wonder who lead him to Trump? Or Trump to him? He is a no nonsense guy thankfully. I am so excited Trump finally has his ducks in a row or will soon! Learning the war of politics is dirty as Donald says.

Sometimes even overwhelming is not enough, and with vastly deeper pockets than almost anybody else around, a little sugar passed out in the right places can do wonders.

And in The Donald’s case, it is not even government sugar.

Code words from the Russian mafia system to "make sure" Cruz hits a rough patch with something nasty being thrown in his way.

Now it's really going to get interesting.........

Cruz will come in a lonely distant 3rd in a very important state. That will set the expectation and reality for the rest of his fail.

It would help a lot if states like Colorado actually let people VOTE, instead of having GOPe insiders choose their golden boy Raphael in back rooms. I know, I know....voting...what a quaint little concept.

This Manafort guy sounds like one of those guys that Trump talks about in his rallies and speeches : “You wouldn’t want to go to dinner with him, but he’ll get the job done”....

GO.TRUMP.GO!!!

Roger Stone. Manafort and Stone were partners. Manafort also lives in Trump Tower.
