I figured, when I heard him use the term “Gestapo tactics,” that this would be the soundbite of choice for many follow-on news reports.
Worth reading the whole exchange. I don't think this particular report is taking anything out of context, but the interview has additional remarks that are worth knowing about. For example, that Manafort believes there is some ground to be had in unbound delegates, and for the reason he thinks Trump becomes the presumptive nominee before Trump locks up 1237 bound delegates, that reason being that the public will come to view Cruz as not electable.

Not eligible either
I like this guy already. No retreat, no surrender.
Its a steep uphill battle against corruption like in Colorado where the official @cologop actually tweets out; We did it. #nevertrump;
Colorado GOP elites are #nevertrump

#nevertrump is more than a simple political statment - its a mission statement. And it was executed by the Colorado GOP as a mission statement. That is not we-the people.

From Rumsfeld’ s Rules: As hire As and Bs hire Cs. You can tell a lot about a manager by observing the people around him. For whatever reason, top talent tends to attract top talent. On the other hand, Bs tend to hire down, not up.
This guy goes Gestapo in his first Sunday Show. A, B, C or worse?
My law is that Godwins law is an internet joke, and invalid as a tool when the comparison is accurate.
Yep.
Amazing how so called self professed conservatives bong the elite establishment kool-aid. Probably take it as an enema too. Drunk on it for sure.
I agree with Jim;

Gestapo tactics indeed.
Trump has gone GOPe as he has hired the usual Republican operatives.As the real conservatives predicted, Trump believes in something with his whole being.
Until he doesn’t anymore
He’s pulling an Alinsky, trying to set a narrative, and deflect from their own incompetence in getting to the delegate selections and caucus intracies way too late in the game. Pathetic. I wouldnt fall for it.
No - he used “tactics” and qualified it with “scorched earth”.
Gestapo Tactics is an apt descriptor.
It’s been evident since Iowa.
“Wasn’t is Manafort and his team who threatened to publicize the hotel room numbers of delegates that didn’t do what the Trump camp wanted them to do?”
No.
Family value CON-servative Lyin’ Cruz and his supporters think we will vote for this scum Cruz ever.
I saw that Tweet. Soon after they erased it and said ‘someone posted it without authorization’ and that they were investigating.
