What the hell is wrong with Manafort?

[piechartking]

Watching MTP on MSNBC right now and he's a big old mess, fumbling for words, getting names wrong ("President Clinton and Secretary Obama started ISIS&quot ("Clinton" when he means "Trump&quot

Is he ok?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He works for Trump. Of course he's not OK.

[Fast Walker 52]

19. exactly!

and it's not even funny

[DemonGoddess]

2. He's Frankentrump's

primary henchman.

[rjsquirrel]

3. His real boss Putin warned him

he had better not lose this thing now that the Kremlin is all in on Comrade Donald or he will be drinking a polonium milkshake?

Make any henchman nervous.

[MH1]

14. LOL, "polonium milkshake" is along the lines of what I was thinking.

People who cross Putin seem to have a habit of accidentally consuming polonium.

[Tal Vez]

4. I don't know that there is anything wrong with Manafort, but I sincerely believe

that Trump presents with symptoms that one sees in tweakers. No one in the press will likely have the guts to ask about chemical tests.

[Peregrine Took]

5. Elvis wannabe?

He and Trump are both lost in the '50's. Mentally and physically.

[Blanks]

6. I noticed that last weekend...

He seems to get tongue tied easily.

Stammers and pauses, not a very eloquent spokesperson.

Probably nervous about getting throwed in the gulag if trump loses.

I'd be nervous too.

[NCTraveler]

7. He is ruining his political management future and knows it.

He needs to eat crow and go work for a se egotism campaign.

[Koinos]

8. Manafort is worried about those loans to Trump that he assured the oligarchs would be repaid.

[emulatorloo]

9. Paid liar who also has a thing for Eastern European pro-Putin dictators.

[Lisa D]

10. It's hard for him to keep all the lies straight.

Here's a good riff on Manafort from Trevor Noah.

[underpants]

16. Hilarious

[AgadorSparticus]

24. "Dancing with the tsars". Omg. Trevor is hilarious. I love it!!

[mainstreetonce]

11. I heard him mix up those names.

He got some other names wrong too. He was stuttering and incoherent. Then he was making excuses and changing the subject.

He was a blubbering cross between Trump and Palin.


He should be fired.

[TeamPooka]

12. Manafort's a professional liar and Todd let;'s him getaway with it. Chuck Todd has never heard of

the term "follow-up question"
Manafort ignores his question and says whatever he wants and Todd lets him roll.

[Kathy M]

21. Agree ....

Reading a few articles through google on Manafort he has been around a log time , mostly works in the shadow . Manafort has worked on Rep campaigns on and off for over 30 plus years Roger Stone also , on Nixon , Reagan Bush campaigns . This trio of DT , manafort , Stone have known each other a long time . Do not forget Manafort has also worked on dictator campaigns

[beachbum bob]

27. to be expected...as media has to keep the game going

even at their own experience of appearing as nothing more than tools of trump....

[beachbumbob]

13. Being around trump I expect osmosis of losing brain cells...

[unitedwethrive]

15. Can you imagine having to go on national tv and defend Trump?

Anyone who takes that job deserves what they get.

[HipChick]

17. Coke..

[UCmeNdc]

18. He sounds just as messed up as Loser Donald Trump

Trump said on Stephanopoulos (ABC) that Putin will not go into Ukraine. George Stephanopoulos had to tell Dumb Donald Trump that Russia already had invaded the Ukraine.

[calguy]

20. He has the unenviable task of defending the indefensible

Anyone would have difficulty doing it. The only reason he is doing it is because he is being paid a lot of money to run the campaign. His challenge is to run the campaign without ruining his career.

[0rganism]

22. can you imagine what meds he must be on to do what he's doing?

or he might be a vampire. that thought sometimes occurs to me when i see him on TV.

[MichiganVote]

23. I think the guy's a drunk. Has the paunchy look of someone who's lost it.

[glennward]

25. Or on drugs. Scared his pay check from Russia will be cut off. nt

[MichiganVote]

32. Oh he looks like a guy who has imbibed just about everything.

[jberryhill]

26. What's right with him?

Someone has something on him and Trump.

[RKP5637]

28. One has to be on drugs or something to promote a POS like Trump! n/t

[Thinkingabout]

29. He may be suffering from FOX Lying Talking Points, he did state ISIS

Started in 2009, truth is it had early beginnings in 1999 but really organized in October 2003 after working with the insurgents in Iraq when Bush invaded Iraq. They can rewrite history and get the FOX viewers to believe it but we need to jump on this and get it corrected.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

33. +100% Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld created ISIS by taking eye of Afghanistan ball & starting phony Iraq war

[Thinkingabout]

34. Well, W could not allow Saddam to "threaten his Daddy", ergo reason to invade.

[renie408]

30. His life is a living hell and his candidate is straight up batshit nuts? n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Trump phones or texts him at 3 am, seeking re-assurance or to crow about his latest tweet.

He's sleep deprived, most likely.

[Maru Kitteh]

35. He seemed deeply panicked, VERY uncomfortable.

Like a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

[KingCharlemagne]

37. OT but an awesome simile - very imagistic! - nt

[dubyadiprecession]

36. He's not too quick witted or swift..

Manafort is a perfect fit for donald dumbf*%#.
