Manafort is a good man. Sad to see him make bad decisions.

We owe Paul Manafort a debt of gratitude for his services at the GOP convention and the VP selection process.

He did a fantastic job beating the Never Trumpers and their bullshite down and squashing any potential steal of the nomination. He really knew how to wrangle the delegates. And he also got Trump to select Pence as VP and that brought tons of traditional and mainstream republicans home and that was enough to get good margins in suburbia in the rust belt.

If not for his services, while Trump may have still likely won the nomination, the convention would've been a full blown disaster and enough republicans would've stayed home had Trump picked someone like Christie as VP and we would be dealing Crooked Hillary in the Oval right now.
