Plus there is an easy story to create.
Trump started praising Putin once Manafort was brought on board. Manafort forced them to add the pro-Putin language to the platform in reference to Ukraine. Trump asked Russia to hack into the DNC and attack his political opponent. Manafort was on the payroll of pro-Russian dictators, and we have receipts for this. (Plus more is coming).
Two things can happen:
Trump fires Manafort- This confirms he did something unsavory in relation to Russia, thus adding validation to the aforementioned claims. It's then a great thing to attack Trump with. He was so inept that he hired a Russian agent to run his campaign and OMG what if Manafort would have been Chief of Staff! A compromised agent would have been in the White House OMG!
Trump refuses to fire Manafort-other reports will come out. He will be the news story for a few days. Hillary and her surrogates will continue to push the links between Putin/Manafort who now equals Trump because Trump has decided to own him. This too reinforces that Trump doesn't have the knowledge and experience to be President.
IF this takes root in the media, and I think it will....this could be gooood.

I would absolutely love it if Trump finally turned on Breitbart, especially after how hard they've been shilling for him.
Yes, the Trump campaign is a Shakespearean tragedy. Normally I wouldn't explain my dumb jokes, but you seemed worried.
Did the person behind it get outted? 538 was running a piece on how the people listed didn't seem to actually exist.
Haha, not at all, but thanks !

The only states Trump will win are West Virginia and Denial. And at this rate, I'm honestly not sure about West Virginia.

So far as I can tell, they never confirmed who they were. I can confirm you cannot access the site. It's gone.

If I'm Crooked Hillary, I'm going to do everything in my power to get Trump to react to this story, preferably by standing beside him. The media has latched onto this, and OMG, imagine if something damaging comes out after Trump stands by him and says he's a good guy.
Of course, with Trump being crazy as fuck right now, he might fire him. The only thing that keeps him there is the spawn like him. Which is LOL.
Maybe in the next 2 weeks, Pence will release his tax returns. That'd be good.

The narrative on this is easy. You don't have to paint him as anti-american directly, the media will do that for you.
All Clinton or her surrogates have to do is say: "Look at what Manafort was hiding. If he was hiding that, what is Trump hiding?"
Is this how it felt to be a GOPer in the '70s/80s when the Dems self-immolated going far left?

October surprise coming early? Whew.
Trump is just going to say, "he's a great businessman making all that money! And from Russia! Would it be so bad if we were friends with Russia? Paul is friends with Russia and look at all the money he makes. He's winning! We don't win anymore. I'm going to win with Russia, just like Paul. And be friends. Would that be so bad? Oh, dishonest media btw."
They literally have receipts, now, literal receipts

You all ever feel like Trump is the political equivalent of the millionth-of-a-penny transaction scam from The Office, where all of a sudden they had money pouring out of their ears and would be easily caught?
Like, how many times in this exact thread has one of us said, 'if a writer tried this on House of Cards / Veep they'd get tossed out and laughed at' or something similar?
I know the infamous Bill Clinton convinced Trump to run theory is so passe at this point, but you literally could not script this better if you were an evil psychopath with fingers in every single pie around the world, bent on becoming president of the US, destroying the GOP from within, reclaiming the house, senate, and SCOTUS, while also embarrassing Russia and proving once and for all that the so-called conservative base are really just rabid bigots who don't give a white-sheet shit about tax policy.
MEANWHILE: Ivanka is literally vacationing with Putin's girlfriend. llollolololol you couldn't script this if you tried.

Those receipts are written in Russian and who here actually can read Russian besides me

OK, who had "the week of August 21st" in the "When will Trump fire Manafort and re-hire Lewandowski" pool? I think that you are about to win your prize!
Trumps campaign is the gift that just keeps on giving. I seriously question how many other skeletons we will see unearthed from his and his associate's closet before this is over.
I can read it, but I don't know what it says.

Trump can't dump Manafort. He's the one that bring in the Russian money and support. This is, unfortunately, a 100% serious consideration in a US Presidential election. In 2016.
Oh sweet jesus. They could at least TRY to hide it.

Also, Obama should do a press conference at the same time as Trump's speech announcing the latest victory against ISIS. Announce something, anything, to cut out the legs from under Trump.
Has to be. I wasn't alive, but it's that level of whoopsie it seems like.

No, I know it's real. I mean that they aren't doing all of this intentionally as a way of fucking with us.
Wait wait wait. Rupert Murdoch's ex is dating Putin? What????

I'm sure you all have, but have you watched "The Presidents" on PBS. Been working my way through the ones they have on their website. Currently watching the Jimmy Carter movie right now.
Sadly for everyone those rumours about Wendi dating Putin were bullshit.
I knew something was rotten there

In yet another shot at Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, Trump's "it's not a Muslim test!" will ban people that display homophobia and Antisemitism from the United States.
Trump continues to rub it in.

McMullin's people kept bringing up this idea about suing the states to get a candidate on the ballot but who knows if that could really work.
So much to talk about in that last paragraph.
Oh I bet.
Well.. The Trump name is basically ruined at this point, so no.
Can they just say that Pence is the new candidate? Is that allowed? Or leave Pence as VP and insert Kasich so they would at least have Pence on the ballot?
