I think he tried an intervention, got Trump to endorse Ryan (which happened right after the rumor about the intervention) and then Trump just decided he had had enough of Manafort

i dont know, but I bet Manafort was becoming a tool for the establishment. That establishment republicans were trying to control Trump through Manafort. Trump had enough... I wonder if Manafort got Trump to back off from Kahn and also from Obama founding ISIS. Both Trump needed to keep going because they were winning moves.

Yep. Manafort worked to get Trump to play nice with the GOPe and in return the GOPe stabbed Trump in the back. Trump does not cotton to bad advice so he brought in people to move him back to what was successful. At that point Manafort became the third wheel and the writing was on the wall. Actually surprised it took him this long to bail.

I think there are some questions regarding Manafort’s money, and Trump needed to clear him out. His association with Russia raises questions regarding Trump’s motives, and Trump can’t have that type of question hanging over his head with regard to Hillary and her accusations of Russia with regard to HER campaign.

I wasn’t surprised when he hired on some new people, and am not surprised to see Manafort go.

Trump is a hard man to work for. Better be on the up and up as certain small slips will find you staring at the pink piece of paper as you hunt your next job.

I wonder if Manafort persuaded Trump to pick Pence, too. That pick was very unconventional of Trump. I saw Trump picking Flynn as his first choice. I admit, I would prefer Flynn too.

It seemed Manafort wanted Trump to morph into Jeb Bush.

Manafort missed what was going on: IF WE THE PEOPLE had wanted Jeb we would have voted for him... we voted for Trump. We wanted Trump the person, Trump's ideas, Trump's solutions, AND Trump's 'tone'...

If this is the guy who persuaded Trump to play footsies with that bastard Ryan, I am very happy to see him thrown under the bus.
