Manafort added:

Securing the Republican nomination is an intricate series of steps that requires a comprehensive strategy. As part of the campaign team, my job is to secure and protect Mr. Trump’s nomination and that is what we will do. In this regard, I will be working closely with Mr. Lewandowski and Mr. Glassner to ensure Mr. Trump’s nomination. I am honored that he has allowed me to join him in this effort. Mr. Trump has created a historic campaign that has moved the American people. He is on the verge of an incredible victory.

Wikipedia: "Paul J. Manafort is an American lobbyist and political consultant. He was an adviser to the presidential campaigns of Republicans Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bob Dole, and George W. Bush, and is currently employed by the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, as well as being a senior partner in the firm Davis, Manafort and Freedman."

So Trump is not only accepting help from the GOPe, he's HIRING them.

I guess the ‘girl beater’ will be out of a job?

Someone needs to keep Mr Manafort away from “accident-prone” “journalists”...

Seems Trump figured out he needed some establishment help...

But but but HOW can THIS be? Manafort we were told, was leaving the Trump campaign. Did the media lie to us? Who woulda thunk that?
