Rick Wiley, the campaign manager for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s failed 2016 presidential bid, is jumping to the Trump campaign, according to a Wednesday report from The Washington Post.
The Post reported that Wiley will join Trump’s camp as the national political director.
Wiley is seen as a major get for the Trump campaign, which has struggled to build the grassroots infrastructure needed to lock up the Republican nomination. As the Post pointed out, Wiley had played a major role in helping Republicans take back the Senate in 2014.
Wiley is just the most recent addition to the Trump campaign, which also hired Paul Manafort, a well-known Republican strategist, last month to run its delegate-wrangling efforts.
But, Wiley also took blame for Walker’s short-lived candidacy. Some believed he had irresponsibly blew through cash and failed to help the governor build a winning strategy.
I’m pretty sure this guy is completely clueless, so what could go wrong?
It’s the GOP way, failing upwards!
I wonder what the record is for a guy jumping from loser ship to loser ship all in a single campaign season?
He did such a great job for Walker.
They can prop him up on stage between Chris Christie and Megyn Kelly. The three of them can stand right behind the dude with the microphone in the cashmere bicycle helmet.
So what is it that’s left for Corey Lewandowski? Chief food taster?
