Indeed, bringing Manafort aboard gives Trumpsters like me a needed boost of confidence. I have been appalled at all of the obvious signs of organizational weaknesses in Trump’s campaign. It is such a relief to learn that Mr. Manafort has hit the ground running in producing delegate gains for Mr. Trump.
However, while I eagerly await many, many more delegate achievements, I would like to pose a note of CAUTION TO ALL!
As a former journalist, I naturally endeavor to seek out any piece of information I can lay my hands on, but there are circumstances when making details public knowledge can be too risky. To the point, in this age of instant social media and 24/7 MSM, delving into specific delegate stories may undermine Manafort’s strategy. Just think what rival factions might glean from reports describing what he is doing to help Trump; they might then be able to somehow get a few bright ideas as to how to foil his attempts.
I learned how downright dirty politics is from an extremely painful experience in my 20s, that, coupled with my past as in journalism, always forces me to strive for a delicate balance.
It’s dirty because all those except Trump come pre-paid, they’re financed out and owned $. They do what they’re told. These politicians should wear NASCAR style suits so we know who their sponsors are. This is no way to run an election and it reeks bad.
