With a candidate like Donald Trump, a little disorganization is no big problem — at least that's what Trump's new campaign chair, Paul Manafort, said Sunday on Meet the Press. "The good thing is, we have a candidate who doesn't need to figure out what's going on in order to say what he wants to do," Manafort said, admitting that Team Trump is still "getting organized."

Though it may seem like Trump lags far behind rival Hillary Clinton in terms of fundraising and operation size, Manafort insisted that was not the case. "They're muscle-bound. We're not," Manafort said, pointing out that the Trump campaign actually has "thousands of people in the battleground states, political organizers who are now in place, we have state organizations that are in place, we have our campaign plans in place, we have our budgets in place."
