8. I'm hoping this is disastrous move for the campaign

The campaign under Lewandowski may have seemed amateurish, but Corey was very good at doing what Donald Trump wanted, whether it was the right thing to do or not for the ultimate success of the campaign. Lewandowski may have ruffled a lot of feathers in his tenure, but they were never Donald's feathers.

Now Trump has been persuaded to do the "right" thing by letting Manafort run his campaign, which threatens to be much more effective... but what are the chances that Trump will follow the good advice he gets?

Zero. None.

Trump will quickly revert to form and expect his new improved campaign to do things his way, regardless of the consequences. And unlike Corey, the new management will not obey blindly and willingly. There will be discord, conflict, arguments....

And more firings. Because Trump cannot possibly stand anyone who isn't doing exactly what HE wants done.
