Manafort Out
Politico (cached link; no links for bullies):
Paul Manafort on Friday resigned as Donald Trump’s campaign chairman, after the Republican presidential nominee earlier this week announced a new leadership structure for his campaign.
“This morning Paul Manafort offered, and I accepted, his resignation from the campaign. I am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delegate and convention process. Paul is a true professional and I wish him the greatest success,” Trump said in a statement.
Trump’s campaign on Wednesday announced a shakeup, its second in as many months, with the addition of Breitbart executive Stephen Bannon as campaign CEO and the promotion of pollster Kellyanne Conway to campaign manager.
Bring back Corey! Let Trump Be Trump!!!1!

Patterico (bcf524) — 8/19/2016 @ 7:25 amHe’s out altogether, now? And it has just been reported that he did not collect the secretly disbursed cash in Ukraine, but Vitaly A. Kaluzhev, had signed. He is now either in Rusdsia or the Russian controlled pirtion of Ukraine. the pro-Russian party of Regions had reason to hide the source of the money, bit Manafort no doubt got checks. John G. Podesta, who is now the Chairman of the Hillary Clinton campaign, also got money.

At that time, the Putin crime family had not broken with the Clinton crime family. That only happened in 2014.
Manafort was not being paid fby the way.
Donald Trump named Steve Bannon as the de facto head of his campaign on advce of Robert Mercer, it is reported. Mercer subsidied Breitbart and at first he was for Ted Cruz.

The inquisitive Dana (f6a568) — 8/19/2016 @ 9:47 am12. Texas is already Massachusetts, in the sense that it has become ballot box poison (probably in the same rut that gave the D’s the failed candidacies of Ted Kennedy-Michael Dukakis-John Kerry). Whats interesting is that the GOP may go the Baker-Hogan-Rauner route if Trump doesnt get it done.

Rodney King's Spirit (d28741) — 8/19/2016 @ 11:16 amTrump is running a far superior campaign to Romney at the tactical level, i.e. the daily messages and commercials (if we exclude where Trump goes off script and says something that could be interpreted as assassinating Clinton etc.).

Pinandpuller (928ad9) — 8/19/2016 @ 4:17 pm“Trump is running a far superior campaign to Romney at the tactical level.”
Superior? No GOTV organization, no ground game, no TV ads. Holding a rally in CT, where he’s hopelessly behind. No volunteers going door to door, no campaign underway in swing states. Down at least five points nationally. Lackluster fundraising. Constant attacks on other Republicans, undermining party unity. Idiot spokesmen like Katrina Pierson. UT, AZ, GA, NC, SC in play. No Dem states in play for Trump. Campaign shakeup three months before Election Day.
In tactics and strategy, Romney was Rommel compared to Trump.

narciso (732bc0) — 8/19/2016 @ 6:09 pmThe Trumpinistas say that not voting for Trump is a vote for Hillary. The Hillary fascists say that not voting for her is a vote for Trump. A logical fallacy it is! That would mean by not voting for either one, I am actually getting two votes. Makes no sense to the one man one vote rule.
Yoda will not vote either. I made this vow after reluctantly voting for McCain that you turds forced on me then. Either give me someone that I can vote for and not against the “lesser of two evils”, or I will not vote. The lesser of two evils, still a vote for evil it is!
The next commenter to tell me that a no vote for TehDonald is a vote for Hillary, or calls me a traitor, defector, liberal, etc., etc., etc………. may force Yoda to vote for Fascist Hillary! If one keeps being called or accused falsely of being a Hillary supporter by you numbnut, lying, Trumpbots, then by damnn, I might as well do it!

No, it is Trump worshippers like you that demand we vote for your master instead of not voting for either (quotes; not voting is the same as a vote for Clintoon), that are the true liberals. You support a NY liberal who said that Hillary would make a great president. He did not even claim to be other before he decided to enter the election. He also said that the democrats (liberals like you) would be better than the GOP on the economy and most other things also!
It is you and all of your mind-numbed idiot Trumpinistas, that insist that we vote for your master and lord! AND by attacking, falsely accusing, and lying about the intentions of anyone who voices the least bit of criticism of your lord and master, are the very ones who are driving conservatives and others away.
My vote or non-vote is mine and mine alone to give or withhold, and I will damn well vote or not vote anyway that I see fit! But keep up the slander and you will force me and others to choose to vote for Hillary in order to watch you have fits and keep foaming at the mouth.

First of all, that link of mg’s just above is dangerous. Full of adware and malware. It’s one of those gold digger sites that sprung up ostensibly supporting Trump for the sake of internet ad revenue. Whatever you do, should you go there, do not click on the Mozilla popup. Just shut down your browser.
Second, how is Trump going to keep America safe when he cannot keep his donors at his fundraisers safe?

The Dana who had supported computer manufacturer Carly Fiorina (f6a568) — 8/20/2016 @ 6:37 am“CULTURE OF CORRUPTION: Hacked Soros Documents Reveal Some Big Dark Money Surprises.
The leak reveals Soros’ funding of a wide range of activities: the Black Lives Matter movement, influencing the European elections in 2014, swaying a Supreme Court decision, smearing political activists, and attacking the nation of Israel.
But you likely haven’t heard about these key “dark money” revelations. Soros has given $7 million to the pro-Clinton super PAC Priorities USA and has dedicated $25 million to support Democrats and their causes. His fundraising matters politically, and should be a big story.
But The New York Times, CNN, The Washington Post, CBS News, and other major media outlets did not even report on the leak, much less the stories revealed by it.
To rectify this coverage gap, PJ Media is presenting 5 of the biggest stories released so far. Enjoy!
There’s some big news here.”

“With all the drama that was going on with the Alton Sterling killing,” he said, “they came out with guns and ready to go to war.”’
And now?
“All these people flooded out and truly in need of some help, and you can’t find one of them.”

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 8/20/2016 @ 6:59 amI’ll tell you all what, though. If I could be sure Trump would be as stingy with federal spending as he is with his campaign spending, I’d consider voting for him.
nk (dbc370) — 8/20/2016 @ 7:10 amJust say “NO!” to Goldilocksing.

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 8/20/2016 @ 7:20 amTrump’s problem with attracting black voters is 1) that he cannot possibly out-pander Hillary and 2) if he tries to out-pander Hillary he will lose the alt.right. It’s good that he’s giving an appearance of reaching out but the smart move for him is to let it stay an appearance.
nk (dbc370) — 8/20/2016 @ 7:31 am#57 Yoda,
It sounds cheesy when you keep saying that we’re going to “force” you to vote for Hillary, especially considering you just ranted about how evil she is. I wonder then, if we all asked you to vote for Hillary, would that make you run out and vote for Trump?
How’s that for reverse psychology, huh?
And I don’t even pretend to run around with a light sabre.
May the “force” to vote be with you. (LOL)

“Civil disobedience” is a longstanding liberal weasel word for ‘unprovoked and unanswered violence against people Democrats don’t like, but I have a funny feeling that giving a law-and-order type power over the Federal purse and hiring decisions just might have a teensy, tiny effect on the success of these types of operations.
That and the very, very, VERY likely go-ahead for truncheons-and-jackboots-at-bare-minimum against these ‘protestors’ in the future among the alt-righters who volunteer for security at these events.
Note that we are in fact somewhere to the right of the official NRX position:
