When pressed about his optimistic view of Trump’s chances of arriving at the convention with the magic number of delegates needed, Manafort responded, “I’ve done this a lot” and referenced his role in the 1976 brokered convention, when he helped President Gerald Ford beat out Ronald Reagan in a close race.

Only 40 years ago, like yesterday, he knows what to do…a real pro…

I didn’t realize Bruce Springsteen changed to the Republican Party of bigots and controlling women…the “boss” that I know would never support such things.

Corey will resign to spend more time with Chris Christie.

I think that is what Professor Snape said to people before Voldemort killed him. I’m not sure…might be a paraphrase.

From the NYT article on this guy…Wondering where he came from? Look no further than the odious Roger Stone.

Mr. Manafort is the former business partner and longtime friend of Roger Stone, an informal adviser to Mr. Trump who left the campaign last summer after clashes with Mr. Lewandowski. Mr. Stone introduced Mr. Manafort to Mr. Trump at the 1988 Republican National Convention, as Mr. Stone was squiring the New Yorker around, though the two had known each other since the early 1980s, Mr. Manafort said.

Yeah, so there’s that.

And CNN and MSNBC have both banned Stone from appearing in any way on their networks.

“I’ve done this a lot.” Once. 40 years ago. Apparently I need a new dictionary.
