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.”

I think Trump is not easily fooled. Everyone who underestimates him and thinks they can pull a fast one gets hammered.

Some Wisconsin scuttlebutt says that Wiley was one who helped Walker realize there was no path for him, and to cut his losses. The guy knows his stuff and is a good addition to the team. Trump will hire the best.

At least Trump has complained about real thin gs and yes, Co. insane delegate choosing, though legal, is ridiculous!

OTOH....Cruz whinges and whines about DRUDGE, of all things. That's REALLY stupid and childish.

Glad you’re such a scholar...... and know the full story about why the mighty Caesar hesitated at the shores of the Rubicon.

Heck, he doesn’t have to hire Rick Wiley to know what went wrong in WI. It’s called who counts the votes - aka Diebold machines.

Anyone who has lived or worked in Wisconsin under Walker (I've done both) would know that attacking the Wisconsin economy and Walker's record was politically stupid. It has nothing to do with Diebold machines.

“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 . . .”

Another long, long-time GOP establishment insider recruited by the Trump machine. I wouldn't be surprised to see Rove come on board next for Trump. All that money Trump dumped on the insiders for decades is now paying off it looks like.

“The die is cast.” He could not turn around and go back.....his future was in the hands of fate.

Trump admits he has been a politician for less than a year. But he does know how to hire the right people for the job. Look for his campaign to get better and better not fall apart.
