Ally of Trump staffer Paul Manafort: The staff is suicidal, he's mailing it in - CNCB

[Native]

Donald Trump's behavior in recent days - from criticizing the parents of a fallen American soldier to declining to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan- has strained the nerves of his campaign staff as he falls behind in the polls.

I exchanged messages this evening with a longtime ally of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort, who I asked about who was calling the shots in the campaign. The response indicated that Manafort, a veteran of Republican politics brought in this spring for the transition from primaries to the general election, has lost control over his candidate.

"Manafort not challenging (Trump) anymore," Manafort's ally wrote. "Mailing it in. Staff suicidal."

2. I do believe the dirtbag manafort could be looking out for his own

reputation - be what it may....if true - I wouldn't be surprised if he jumped ship - he has so much more to gain in the USSR..(on purpose) - or if drumpf loses he will never be able to "get back to the USSR" (McCartney - hahahahah)

The man seriously doesn't have a fucking clue.
