Paul Manafort resigns from Trump campaign

By Nolan D. McCaskill

08/19/16 10:05 AM EDT


Paul Manafort on Friday resigned as Donald Trump's campaign chairman, after the Republican 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.

Should have waited about eight hours to announce this, in time for the Friday afternoon news dump.

Granting his many faults, Manafort is nevertheless basically sane and at least tried to keep Trump on-track (with limited success).

The new team wants to "let Trump be Trump."  I can't imagine that's going to turn out well.

Somewhere, Lewandowski is smiling and plotting against Conway...................

I predicted last night Corey would be back in a month.  I was off by three weeks.

Look, Manafort did what he had to do. He got Ukraine stuff out of the GOP platform. Mission accomplished!

More to the point, you can fit a lot more than one clown into a car; but Trump's ego leaves no room for anyone else.

I have the feeling that more resignations are coming.  People working in the campaign that didn't like and were happy to see Corey Lewandowski go are likely not going to like Bannon.

I wonder if Ivanka will be "resigning" soon?

Manafort was brought on to reprise his 1976 convention 'screw the conservatives' performance.

Trump consults with him still.  This short-leash stuff has never worked with Trump and he'll get sick of Conway soon enough.
