(I'm a back bencher in the Trump 757, which has just taken off)
Trump:
"When is the last time Karl Rove got something right? Did you know that he never graduated college? It shows in this article about how hard it will be for the Republicans to unite behind me.
Really? How many Republicans will go to Hillary? How many Republicans are fine with her picking the next 5 Supreme Court justices?"
Manafort:
"He has no credibility. The rich Texas guys - Bob Perry, Robert Rowland, Trevor Rees-Jones - won't talk to him. He took $100 million for American Crossroads and another $70 for Crossroads Generation and invested in the great Mitt Romney. Jesus, $170 million pissed away.":
(Trump and Manafort laugh)
Trump:
"It's hard for me to get upset with Rove because he's such a loser and everyone knows it. I'm still laughing about him telling Fox that they were wrong, that Ohio was going for Romney, even after it was called for Obama."
(Trump and Manafort laugh again)
Manafort:
"Rove has a contract to write a column each Thursday for the Journal. You can be sure they will not renew that contract."
Trump:
"Kimberley Strassel is just as bad. She writes a column saying the delegates don't need to vote for the candidate who won the primary, Stupid."
Manafort:
"The Journal is pro-business, that's why they exist. They should endorse Trump. Hell, Cruz has never met a payroll."
Trump:
"The Journal disappoints me. They fight me everyday, in every article. I have millions of votes more than Cruz and Strassel says, 'Ignore that, pick who you want.' That's a big reason why I ran; to give the people a chance."
"Paul, I'm thinking about putting many my meetings on live tv as Presidentr. I want to televise my meetings with the VA management team because I'm going to give them an ass kicking and I like the idea of the regular American people watching."
Manafort:
"Donald, I like it. Let's call it government in action."
Trump:
"Let's not call it anything. But I can't wait. The same thing for the meetings with Senators. We're going on record. We're on live television when we discuss closing down Obamacare." And if a Senator has an objection, I'll tell him to turn to the camera and tell the American people why he thinks Obamacare should stay. When I take office, accountability starts on day one and live tv is the way to get accountability."
Manafort:
"And let's put together a program each night at 8 eastern with the highlights of your meetings. The American people can see you pushing to bring about the changes we proposed during the election."
Trump:
"Done. And I'll bring it up in the debates with Hillary. She will never live broadcast her meetings."
Manafort:
"No. She would not want America to see her in action - or should I say see her in-inaction."
(Trump and Manafort laugh one more time before Trump takes a call from Tim Clark)
