"Donald, We Can't Win."

Paul Manafort

"Donald, we getting killed.  We need to back off."

Donald Trump

"Paul, I never back off.  Our team needs to understand that this judge is out to get me. He, Judge Curiel, is against the Mexican wall and he's against me.  Turn up the heat."

Barry Bennett

"Mr. Trump, we can't win this.  Newt called me and made a suggestion."

Trump

"Go ahead, Barry."

Bennett

"Newt suggests that we insist that Trump deserves a fair trial.  He adds that 'While my comments regarding Judge Curiel have been misconstrued, my point is that we deserve a fair trial and I'm very concerned about our ability to receive justice.'"

Manafort

"Donald, that sounds great. Let's get back to showing the real Hillary Clinton."

Trump

"Corey?" "Michael?"

Corey Lewandowski

"Mr. Trump, we've made our point.  Let's declare victory, put out a release along the lines of Newt's suggestion and say that we will no longer address the central issue, which is the need for justice in this case."

Michael Glassner

"Agreed.  There is no more upside.  It's distracting.  Our team is off track.  Let's get back to Hillary's email, which the public is still very confused about."

Trump

"OK. Done. Issue the release and make it clear that we demand justice and that we will no longer address this subject.  Thanks everybody."
