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.

I like this guy already. No retreat, no surrender.
From Rumsfeld’ s Rules: “A’s hire A’s and B’s hire C’s.” 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, “B’s” tend to hire down, not up.
This guy goes Gestapo in his first Sunday Show. A, B, C or worse?
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.
Family value CON-servative Lyin’ Cruz and his supporters think we will vote for this scum Cruz ever.
“After being asked whether threatening delegates is fair game in the hunt for the 1237 “
I’ve heard of bribing and rewarding tactic. What is the threatening?
LOL...cRuz surrogate Beck calls Trump supporters Brown shirts....
.....Trump’s new guy comes out punching - calling out the underhanded methods cRuz is using to grab delegates....since he can’t get the actual votes.
Bwahahaha.
Says those with New York values.
Interesting, the non-GOP advisor who has worked for Reagan, Ford, GHWB, Dole, and GWB, along with Ferdinand Marcos, Viktor Yanukovych, and Lynden Pindling is clueless about national socialism. Gestapo tactics? He’s breathing, so is Trump. Not breathing in Dachau, breathing in freedom. Stupid comment.
This Manafort guy is as cool as a cucumber and he lays out very cogent arguments... no wonder the Cruz-bots are panicking
Saw this scary guy with F. Chuck Todd this morning...my first impression was that he was a Capo from the Cosa Nostra, dark silk suit with medium blue pinstripes...every hair in place...spit polished like Paulie Walnuts without the silver hair wings...Manafort must use the same tailor as another Trump hatchet man, Roger Stone!
Trump’s bringing in an “operative” who looks like a guy who knows guys who break knee-caps! He sounded like a ruthless, win-at-any-cost, enforcer...delegates may have a clear choice in Cleveland, bribes or threats!
