The relevant part of the article:
Behind the scenes, Lewandowski is fighting to preserve his own power and to box out Paul Manafort, who was hired last month to lead the campaign's delegate corralling effort. "Corey and his people know the knives are out for them," said one source close to the campaign, referring to Manafort as a "pretty experienced in-fighter."
On Saturday, Lewandowski went as far as to fire a young operative named James Baker, who'd been recently put in charge of its Colorado campaign--he'd arrived in the state less than 48 hours earlier--because he'd been communicating with Manafort after Lewandowski instructed him not to do so, two sources with direct knowledge of the situation confirmed.
Manafort is scheduled to meet with Trump in New York Wednesday morning and likely to threaten to quit if he doesn't see more cooperation, according to one source. "If Manafort walks, this thing comes apart," they said. "And some of the people close to him are ready to walk."
The landslide loss in Wisconsin could finally prompt Trump to make changes in the campaign structure, even if Lewandowski retains his title as campaign manager. "This campaign has outgrown the team," one high-level Trump supporter said. "Hopefully this wakes up the candidate, because Lewandowski can't handle it from here."

Memory failed me, it was Hamilton Jordan, not Pat Caddell. Reasoning otherwise applies.
If it’s a meltdown to have over 250 Delegates going into New York...okay, then a meltdown it is!

Clarification:
I meant Trump has a 250 Delegate LEAD over Cruz! But you folks already knew that! ;-)
This is a Talking Point straight from the GOPe.
GO TED CRUZ!!
It ain’t time to close the deal.
Timing is everything.
See ya in New York!
Truer words were neve spoken:
The WI Democrat voting machine put its thumb on the scales in the Milwaukee area counties.
The numbers are clear - I just looked up the primary numbers on both sides for the 2008, 2012 & 2016 Wisconsin primaries.
See my posts #1490, #1565 & #1573 on the thread Live Thread--Wisconsin Primary--Tuesday, April 5, 2016
Your tagline......it shines !
That said, these kerfuffles are typical for a campaign that is evolving and maturing.
I know, right? The media and Cruz supporters act like Wisconsin was make or break it for Trump when in reality it was only a must win for Cruz to stay alive. Trump only needed 9 delegates to stay exactly on track, he won 6, and going into NY with a huge lead.
Plus Rudy Guiliani has been holding back his Trump endorsement until closer to the NY primary, and that’s sure to give Trump an edge.
FiveThirtyEight, {Nate Silver} has it at Trump with 758 to Cruz at 499.
I dunno at how they arrive at the numbers.
Then you don't understand the game. That's OK, your "daddy" doesn't either.
That pretty much makes him a user.
Now when we need to hear him debate he is a no-show.
Mine are from the NY Times.
Some are more, some less.
Regardless, give Cruz an extra 100 and he still won’t make it.
Here are some facts for you arlie...:
Trump praises Planned Parenthood that does great conservative work...
Trump thought Dreamer Amensty was a great idea 2 years ago...
Trump was for the war before he was against it...
Trump gave money to stalwart conservative Al Sharpton...
Trump gave money to stalwart conservative Hillary...
Trump backed TARP and thought bailouts were the correct thing...
Trump brags about bedding other mens wives, that is very conservative position don't you think arlie??
A huge victory in New York puts Trump back on track for the 1237 and the majority of delegates!
But he is supposed to win that good old conservative state of “New York”.
It seemed to me they did not act like they expected to win Wisconsin. I doubt that would cause a “meltdown” but it is sensational headline.
Oh, I’ve been around long enough to know the game.
Little ones like you come and go every four years.
“Daddy”
Wow you are weird
Enjoy your liberal
