It doesn't sound like he's quitting.  It just sounds like he's given up.

Hopefully Trump drops out and lets Pence run the show.

I can dream, right?

If Trump quits by September, and Pence is the nominee, and picks Walker, Ryan, Kasich, Pence could beat Clinton by a close margin because he is very focused and on message.

However, he could lose because the Trump supporters may not turn out in November, feeling disenfranchised.

Translation: Clinton is up double digits nationally and/or Trump is in an unrecoverable position according to Trump's internal polls. That's the only thing which would cause someone as cynical as Manafort to throw in the towel

I guess we can see some people kill themselves, per the suggestion of left-wing NBC News.

Yeah OK. Complete and utter nonsense.

Oh I forgot, it must be opposite day. MSNBC and NBC News are magically bastions of conservatism and Republicanism today... Right?

He is heading down the same path Politico did four years ago.....I fear for his sanity.

Not a "news organization" that roots for the Democrats, that's for sure.

Not the "news organization" that has a reporter that lies about his experience as a war correspondent, like a certain Presidential candidate did about her trip to Bosnia.

But I digress. NBC "News" is a partisan joke.

If NBC news is a joke, Trump is an whole comedy night.

Is it really nonsense that Trump wouldn't listen to his campaign manager and do whatever in the heck he wants to do.

From the outside looking in that seems to be pretty much what is going on.

About this time last week I was worried Trump would stay competitive, and then Manafort and his Russian goons would rig voting machines. I guess Manafort realized it's not worth the effort anymore.

I wonder if Trump will actually pay him when he loses considering his history with contractors who don't get the job done.

I interpreted "mailing it in" to mean he doesn't give a crap, and just collecting a paycheck... But if he quits, that would be ironic since he's been the one firing...
