Manafort gonna have some 'splainin' to do!

[nixonwasbetterthanW]

from Politico:

.... Amid reports suggesting that he and other staffers are beginning to “phone it in,” Manafort subtly shifted blame to his candidate. He admitted that Trump’s comments in response to Khizr and Ghazala Khan were “not smart.” And he made it clear that it’s Trump, not any adviser or ally bending his ear, who is responsible.

This is insubordination! The campaign manager implied that his boss is not perfect!

1. Manafort needs to explain his Russian connections to the FBI

Manafort could be a mole for all we know.

Just saying.

4. Nah, it's not insubordination. He simply said Trump is the boss and the one controlling the message.

He's playing Trump. By saying Trump's the one in charge, he's covering his own ass while playing to Trump's outsize ego. This is nothing new for Manafort. As I understand it, he specializes in difficult candidates.

5. Humpty Drumpty can always fire him.

6. Trump meet bus
