Will these whispers turn to shouts? The word behind the word is that Paul Manafort is already earning his keep BIG TIME as he moves to deliver a stunning blow to the Cruz campaign a source describes as a potential “punch to the face” that involves the number 172. Here is a brief summary of what will simply be called the “172 Plan” : **Talks are ongoing and more numerous between Team Trump and a second party over the last 48-hours. **If these talks lead to an agreement, it will be a game-changer in the 2016 Republican nomination process. **Manafort is said to be personally leading the negotiations with Donald Trump’s full approval. In fact, it’s believed Manafort was the first to suggest this scenario last month but did so then more as an observer of the campaign. Now he is a top-ranking operative/adviser for Team Trump. **This ongoing negotiation has sent the Cruz campaign scrambling to block further negotiation from materializing and getting a considerable assist from powerful GOP forces.

It has to be getting Rubio's delegates on board with Trump for a second-ballot vote. You'd expect Rubio would want the VP slot. Or at least SecDef. Of course, all that would only be true if DCWhispers was not a crackpot website. Besides, Politico's delegate tracker sez Rubio only has 171 and he hasn't gotten any new bound delegates lately.

A first ballot vote. Rubio's name would not be placed in nomination. Also possible is a similar deal with Kasich.
