Donald Trump hires veteran GOP operative Rick Wiley
Washington Post ^ | April 13 at 3:50 PM | By Philip Rucker

Posted on 04/13/2016 1:24:55 PM PDT by dynoman

The Trump campaign said Wednesday that Rick Wiley — who has more than two decades of experience in state and national politics and most recently served as campaign manager for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s presidential bid — is joining the operation as national political director.

“Rick is a seasoned political expert with a very successful career in winning elections,” Trump said in a news release. “He brings decades of experience, and his deep ties to political leaders and activists across the country will be a tremendous asset as we enter the final phase of securing the nomination.”

Wiley said in the same release, “Voters are frustrated with the political status quo in our country and are hungry for an outsider to shake up Washington. Donald Trump has energized millions of hard working people across the country with his no-nonsense straight talk and will bring his record of success to tackle the real problems that face our nation.”

Wiley had a false start for a national campaign last year.

Otherwise, I think this is a good hire by Trump.

Wiley can also explain to Trump (if Trump is interested) what went wrong with him in Wisconsin.

Sounds like he may have taken Giuliani’s advice.

It’s good to see that Trump has now realized that he cannot continue to run his campaign on the cheap. I do have to give him a tremendous amount of credit for having gotten as far as he has with spending only about $36 MILLION. I know, some will counter that he already had 100 percent name recognition, but I’ll counter with so did Hillary and she’s spent about $200 MILLION so far.

Was Wiley the guy that called Trump dumbo or something early on and that precipitated Trump’s lowering the boom on Walker?

I with it was another source.

If I read the Washington Post, I know I’m going to read this news but with a lot of concern trolling.

Its about time. Trump can only get so far with his current campaign. I still lean Cruz (he lost me when he blamed Trump for the violence), but no matter who wins, I want them to have the best chance of saving this Country from what awaits it from the other side.

It might not be those two, but we’re going to get screwed.

I donated to Trump. I think every Trump supporter should donate. I think we should swamp him with donations. Trump didn’t need to do this, he owes us nothing. Yet he wants to pay back for what this country has done for him. Watch the family town hall I linked. It’s unmatched in the recent political history;

“The secret of fortune is joy in our hands. Welcome evermore to gods and men is the self-helping man. For him all doors are flung wide. Him all tongues greet, all honors crown, all eyes follow with desire. Our love goes out to him and embraces him because he did not need it.”
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

It’s about time Mr. Trump started taking this primary seriously. He is WAY behind setting up a national delegate team, convention team, and general election strategy/team.
