Paul Manafort Exits Through the Trump Campaign Revolving Door

Now he’ll have more time to focus on his Ukrainian problem
Politics • Views: 38,867

Remember how the Trump campaign was saying yesterday that even though they’ve hired a new manager and a new alt-right chief executive, former campaign manager Paul Manafort was not leaving?

Well, that was yesterday, and yesterday’s gone, and so is Paul Manafort.

Many people are saying this is the most stable presidential campaign they’ve ever seen in all of recorded history. Bigly!

Here’s hoping the IRS finds a few moments to … ah… ponder some questions about the money in that Ukrainian ledger as I doubt he was claiming the income on his 1040 ;)

So, the news of Trump’s pivot to the General, complete with nonspecific ‘regrets’, and his photo-op visit to Louisiana, totally displaced in the News Cycle by more evidence of his atrocious management skills, hiring a Russian agent as his campaign manager and then having to fire him before the Feds caught up with him.

Classic.

Corey on CNN just mentioned the overseas “issues” for Manafort.

Thought that was something they wouldn’t say out loud.

The Trump shit show continues to sink even further into the GOP outhouse. The only question left is: Will Hillary win all 50 states or perhaps only 48 or 49?

i predict they wont find the actual dollars. if they payments were in fact made, they were never in the country

doesnt make it less taxable. just not provable. unless they get help from the other end

She won’t win most of the south, nor a number of the mountain states.

lawhawk  Aug 19, 2016 • 10:11:16am

What else is there really to say about Manafort?

He’s been exiled/dumped by Trump. This reveals more about Trump than anyone else. Trump’s a piss poor judge of character and experience since he’s now canned/dumped 2 campaign managers in less than a year and continues flailing about thinking that if only we bring in someone even more extreme to be above the guy we want to push out that it’ll go over well? His notion of how to administer a campaign shows he doesn’t understand how it works, and that is a good indication of how he might fill out various positions in a future administration.

Consider that Trump would have a chief of staff doing much of what a campaign manager does. He’d first bring in a new guy to be above chief of staff, give them a new title, let the CoS go, and then when that doesn’t work, bring in someone to be above the new guy. Rinse and repeat.

That’s not how to govern. That’s a recipe for disaster.

But back to Manafort. What is it about Manafort that you have to count your fingers after shaking hands with him? Is it Manafort’s slim shady dealings with Ukraine that are going to come out?

Or that Manafort might end up getting perp walked for criminal violations of lobbying and election law?

Or that Trump will drive the Trump Train directly into the fever swamp he relishes and the only thing that kept this from happening sooner was actually Manafort trying to do the best with the crap sandwich he was given?

Wake County went to Obama by 11 percentage points or 56,000 votes in 2012. Raising that to 25-30 percentage points even if turnout is the same means Hillary’s margin increases to 120,000-160,000 votes. That erases virtually all of Romney’s victory margin in the state (92,004 votes).

And then there’s Mecklenburg County, and Orange, Durham, Guildford, Buncombe…

If Clinton (or Sanders) had a Holocaust denier as a top foreign policy adviser, it would cripple their campaign, and it would be a crisis of epic proportions.

For Trump, it’s just another day at the office, and no one seems to be bothered, least of all Trump himself. No one demanding that Trump dump the guy, or repudiate his statements.

News from the Feline Overlord front. The apartment building office staff found a small stray cat in the building lobby. (The one front door doesn’t quite close during humid weather due to the door and/or frame swelling.) After checking to verify it did not belong to any of the building residents I was contacted since I was a known cat person they trusted.

So now I have taken up temporary foster care of a silver tabby. Vet appointment set for tomorrow and I am keeping her separate from the two resident Overlords for both health reasons and as the first step in potentially integrating her into the household*. Guess if this keeps up I’ll be Crazy Cat Guy by the time I retire. Tentative assigned name is “Tigerlily”.

No pictures yet due to my iPhone somehow not being able to mail them successfully to my Gmail acct. Odd.

After practicing law, Conway entered the polling business with Wirthlin Group, a GOP polling firm which worked for Ronald Reagan. She also worked for a period for Luntz Research Companies before founding her own firm, The Polling Company, in 1995. Among the political figures Conway has worked for are the late Congressman Jack Kemp; former Vice President Dan Quayle; Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich; Senator Fred Thompson and Congressman (now Indiana Governor) Mike Pence.[2] She worked as the senior advisor to Newt Gingrich during his 2012 United States presidential election campaign.[3] In August 2015, she became the president of the Promise I Super-PAC which supported the 2016 presidential campaign of Ted Cruz and is part of a group of 4 super-PACs supporting Cruz. Its main funding was 11 million dollars from hedgefund manager Robert Mercer.[4]

She won’t win most of the south, nor a number of the mountain states.

I think a reasonable number for an over/under bet on states Clinton will win is probably 28.5. I think best case scenario, she’s probably around 33 states (barring Trump dropping a c-bomb during a debate or Johnson pulling a significant number of votes from Trump, the second of which would probably be the result of the first, in which case I think she could break 40).

Yeah, but

The plan was for supporters to bring hurricane relief supplies to the event and then deliver the bags of canned goods, packages of diapers, and cases of water bottles to the candidate…

But the last-minute nature of the call for donations left some in the campaign concerned that they would end up with an empty truck. So the night before the event, campaign aides went to a local Wal-Mart and spent $5,000 on granola bars, canned food, and diapers to put on display while they waited for donations to come in, according to one staffer…

Empty-handed supporters pled for entrance, with one woman asking, “What if we dropped off our donations up front?” The volunteer gestured toward a pile of groceries conveniently stacked near the candidate. “Just grab something,” he said.

Did Kerry change campaign managers twice in as many months with less than three months to go before the election?

I think he changed managers once and it was before the Iowa Caucuses.

And it was much, much earlier. And there was like one change. Not two in two months just before the general election.

Jim Jordan was Kerry’s first campaign manager. He was fired in December 2003 and replace by Mary Beth Cahill.

re: #305 Sir John Barron

Kerry switched campaign managers in November 2003 because Howard Dean was seen as a threat and he disagreed with how Jordan was handling things. Cahill came in after.

Thought it was December but yeah. The two aren’t very similar situations. Kerry didn’t fire high staff after or even closely before the 2004 DNC.

Different Jim Joedan than the Freedom Caucus guy. No idea what Kerry’s JJ does now. Doubt he has much influence and pull.

The rightwing nut-o-sphere is in their usual towering state of rage. Today it is because President Obama was still on vacation rather than going to Louisiana immediately to disrupt relief operations, take up official time, and pose for some heart-rending photos with carefully vetted victims.
Why, President Bush flew over the Katrina disaster zone and looked out the window with a look of deep, deep concern on his face, never mind that airspace had to be cleared for many miles along his flightpath, at a time when local chopper crews might have had some use for it.

The way we tacitly encourage racial based gang division in our prisons probably played a role here. So while this guy probably didn’t go in as the most well adjusted member of society I’m sure his time in the corrections system helped in shaping or reinforcing his racist views.
