When you sign up as a new Contract Trump Poster, same with Manafort, your primary “to please” target is the DONEald. Fact and honor is not part of the job description.
“Manfort” (quoting you) will only tell Trump
“Its too late”, just before the last penny is grubable from the DONEald. That is what political consultants do.

The fat lady is clearing her throat. Cruz won the battle in CO, but he lost the war. Shortsightedness and overarching ego will do that.
Another fact: I do not now nor have I ever received a penny from any candidate, PAC or anyone associated with a candidate or PAC. But thanks for the compliment. I must be effective at advocating for my preferred candidate if you’ve got that much butt hurt gong on. Sometimes reality bites.
