9. Manafort is dangerous.

His job is to make dictators look respectable. And he is Trump's campaign manager, no less. He could be chief of staff or secretary of state in a Trump administration. Think of the international mess he could cause in that role, as he directs Trump to abandon NATO and stand by while Russia moves against the Ukraine as a first step in reconstructing the "Soviet Union." The balance of world power would shift catastrophically with a Trump presidency. Trump's sole talent is his ability to profit personally from breaking things. As president, he could break NATO and just about everything else.

NONE of this is getting adequate coverage in MSM. annabanana Aug 2016 #1
