Walker Campaign Manager: ‘It’s A F–ing Bitch, Man’
Rick Wiley unloaded to Politico.
Campaign manager Rick Wiley, in a half-hour phone interview with POLITICO on Tuesday night, said he had an “all-in Iowa” plan that would have moved the headquarters from Madison, Wis., to Des Moines and cut the staff from about 85 to 20 as of Thursday. But Walker, floundering in debates and on the stump, was facing such a sudden drought in donations that even those drastic moves wouldn’t have guaranteed solvency.
We built the machine that we needed to get a governor in just phenomenal shape to take a stage in a presidential debate,” Wiley said. “I think sometimes it’s lost on people the largeness of the job. I think people just look at it and say, ‘Wow! Yeah, you know, it’s like he’s a governor and he was in a recall’ and blah, blah, blah — he’s ready.
“It’s just not like that. It is really, really difficult. … I’m just saying, you know, like it’s a f—ing bitch, man. It really is.”p

Um… the person claiming he was ready as a result of the recall, etc. was Scott Walker. Couldn’t you have leaned over and told him he wasn’t ready?

I guess this is POTUS2B Hillary’s way of thinning the herd sos she can slaughter the dominant ‘wusbull’ in the general? – I’m still thinking it’ll be (sigh!) the flip flopping fish that’s always being thrown back into obscurity.

Hard to get anywhere when your candidate is a sock puppet.

Man, I recon, if I had a squirrel attached to my chin, life would suck where ever I go. But seriously, when you choose to work for criminals you ARE one. Of course lying for a living makes a life a bitch, then you die, I guess. Would be a lot easier to just be honest and above board.

If any political candidate chooses unqualified individuals to run his/her campaign, s/he can’t expect to run a top-notch campaign. I recall that after Romney lost, it was revealed that most of the campaign money he raised went into the pockets of “consultants” and not for setting up a good campaign infrastructure. I also recall that his GOTV infrastructure failed on election day.

I find that a little doubtful. If the machine worked the way it was supposed to, then the operator was an idiot. Most of us don’t think “totally unprepared” would be considered “phenomenal shape.”
