Sources say that Trump wanted more involved people. Apparently Manafort has been phoning it in over the past few weeks.

Trump wanted his top aide to be more hands-on. Manafort spent weekends in the Hamptons. - multiple campaign sources

2 campaign sources describe the Trump/Manafort relationship as "adversarial."

But some are saying that Manafort was the only semblance of sanity left in the campaign.

Letting Trump be Trump:

Tuesday:
Trump: Can I be Mr. Brexit?
Manafort: No!

Thursday:
Trump: Can I be Mr. Brexit?
Bannon: Go for it, brah.

And maybe unleashing the inner Trump might not be the best idea to expand Trump's voting base.

It's like an AA member letting a bunch of drunks override their sponsor. These next two months will be Trump binge drinking his own Kool-Aid

It might be too early to call it, but some people are starting to go there.

It's too early to administer last rites for the Trump campaign. But somebody should call a priest. https://t.co/NdP2liTRJN

Trump can't even run a campaign. How will he run a country??!?!?

But with this crazy-ass election, who knows what will happen?

@MarcACaputo - Waaaaaay too early. This is politics we’re talking about. And we have a couple months to go. All kinds of crazy will happen.
