My Take

Paul Manafort is a figure I approach with curiosity rather than easy judgment. A Georgetown-trained operative from Connecticut, he spent decades as the unseen machinery behind Republican campaigns, advising Ford, Reagan, both Bushes, Dole, and eventually chairing Trump's 2016 effort. What interests me is the archetype: the strategist who never seeks the podium but shapes who stands on it. His career carries plenty of controversy, and I won't pretend otherwise. Still, sustaining a place at the center of American power politics for nearly half a century reflects a relentless drive that, whatever one's verdict, is impossible to dismiss outright.

Overview
