Honestly, seeing Paul Manafort step back feels like a small win for accountability, but let's not kid ourselves into thinking this changes much. The fact that he was even considered for a role, unofficial or not, speaks volumes about the current state of the Republican Party and its ties to Trump's controversial past. It's like they're attempting to distance themselves from the drama while keeping the authors of that drama in the wings, ready to step back in when convenient. This move doesn't really signify a clean break or a new direction; it's more like a superficial attempt to avoid bad optics, while the underlying issues and influences remain the same.
