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.
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.
Wiley may also know where all the shenanigans happened in Wisconsin.
Wisconsin was not winnable. The governor there is still popular as a damsel-in-distress figure to the voters who hate the unions and teacher unions more than they want to dump the damsel for an outsider.
The governor was upset with Trump not because of anything Trump said about him. He was angry because he was leading and then as Trump threw his hat into the ring, Walker started to decline as voters gathered to Trump.
So Walker looked at Trump like most ambitious politicians who are displaced by a bigger figure would look. Walker was the ‘cool’ young looking RFK type of candidate and when Trump’s overwhelming message drowned young Walker out of the running, Walker slinked away because his PAC support drifted away leaving him with massive debt.
And Walker blamed all on that NYer who had the resonating message of borders, immigration reform, jobs, trade, banking, healthcare, unabashed 2nd Amendment support and on and on, Trump overwhelmed Walker and everyone else in the ring. But Walker had debts and was abandoned by PACs due to his declining performance.
The only thing Walker had left was the support of his Wisconsinites, especially the college crowd kids. He had support from Madison to Milwaukee all the way up the corridor to Green Bay. That’s all he had left to trade in return for an assist to retire his campaign debt.
So Ted Cruz comes into town and asks Walker’s help to deliver Wisconsin to him. But Walker asks for help to pay off debt. Cruz didn’t have the funds for Walker but made a call to the GOP Establishment aka Romney who is the money wrangler. Romney gets sources to pledge to take out a chunk of Walker’s debt from sources like Mexico to take out Trump, and tells Cruz to hold fundraisers for Walker.
Walker endorsed Cruz, Romney’s anti-Trump MoneyPACs went full throttle on ad buys to whip up Wisconsinites against Trump, and Cruz ended up violating FEC law by coordinating with his PACS that were linked to Romney’s money sources.
Donald Trump saw all of this and was waiting for Walker to make his move. As soon as Walker endorsed Cruz, Donald made the decision to campaign in the outlying areas, small towns, farm belt and win some delegates. Trump’s delegate mathematician Barry Bennett had already mapped the 1237+ delegate path without any delegates from Wisconsin, ZERO were factored in. But Donald wisely plotted a realistic hit and run on areas where Walker was not such a teen icon and he ended up winning 6 delegates, which were actually bonus delegates to the delegate map.
Scott Riley could not have done a thing about Wisonsin. It was lost because an immature governor with a High School education could not see past a petty vindictive fixation on Donald Trump. Like a high school drama queen who was not asked to the prom because another girl was picked, Walker plotted his petty damsel-in-distress revenge,
Walker wouldn’t last two week in Marine Corps bootcamp.
He’s a pussy,
