Meanwhile, Manafort was the "establishment guy."

If by "establishment" you mean the Kremlin...

Ford, Reagan, Bush 41, Dole, Yanukovych.  Impeccable credentials.

Manafort probably made him say "I'm sorry" and when the whole world did not immediately kneel before God-Emperor TrumpMiller right after, he was out.

Doubtful.  The Kremlin connections are reason enough.

I wonder if he'll dump all the dirt he has on Trump now.  He could end Trump's campaign by saying "yes, I was a Russian agent the whole time, and Trump is a sucker."

The fact that Trump has been totally duped and wrapped up in Putin's spell would not be a great revelation to anyone.  It's not going to sway anyone not already planning on voting for him.

Oh, the irony.. considering that Trump's supporters have been totally duped and wrapped up in his spell.

How many more "shake ups" until Election Day? I'm predicting at least two.

Trump campaign one minute: "The polls are phony, all wrong."
Trump campaign the next minute: Tweets poll "It's a two point race!"
Trump campaign one minute: "Manafort is not demoted, just expanding the team."
Trump campaign the next minute: Manafort gone.

This could just be sour grapes after Manafort threw in the towel in disgust. Manafort could have been fired, but I won't trust anything out of the Trump campaign.

This really steps on Trump's big speech, I kind of wonder if Manafort was angry about what was going on and tried intentionally ruin what should have been a good media cycle about Trump's NC speech.

Expanding it economically. Firing some so they can hire some more.

You know, I don't dislike this speech pattern but, you know, there comes a point when, you know, it's just, you know, too much. You know?

Probably not a bad thing for Trump. Manafort's dirty laundry is about to go public, and it's not like his strategy was working to any degree.

Kellyanne Conway already seems like she's about 1000x better than Manafort at actually running a campaign.
