Delegate Hunter Paul Manafort: “Backroom Deals” are “Hallmark” of Cruz Campaign

Paul Manafort, the Trump convention manager and delegate hunter, slammed the “backroom tactics” that he said is now “the hallmark” of the Cruz campaign.

Mr. Manafort, who said there is a pattern of abuse, made the comments during an interview on “Hannity” interview and after a convoluted insider system in Colorado resulted in Sen. Ted Cruz sweeping the delegates without a single vote.

“He’s not winning delegates,” he said. “He’s winning bodies. He not turning Trump delegates, he’s trying to put Cruz delegates in their place. The whole premise of the Cruz campaign misses the point. There’s not going to be a second ballot.”
