Scott just went full RINO.
Scott Walker just dropped off my list of acceptable candidates. I like a lot about Governor Walker but people are policy. And his decision to hire Brad Dayspring, an unprincipled political operative who combines viciousness and incompetence in equal measures tells us a lot.
Congrats to @BDayspring on joining Team Walker! Huge get– one of the best communications strategists in the game. $$

As we have documented here on RedState, Brad Dayspring was on of the loudest lying voices in the dishonest, dishonorable, and disreputable campaign the NRSC waged on behalf of the mildly profoundly senile, corrupt, and adulterous Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) 46%. In this campaign Dayspring was front and center in lying about challenger Chris McDaniel. In fact, the scorched earth campaign waged by Dayspring against McDaniel exceeded any campaign the NRSC has ever run against a Democrat.
Candidates who associate with white nationalists & segregationists events give away #GOP seats to Democrats. http://t.co/06KN8ittuG #MSsen — Brad Dayspring (@BDayspring) April 3, 2014
He was also instrumental in launching attacks on the challenger to Sen. Pat Roberts (R-KS) 70%, Dr. Milton Wolf. In Arkansas, he attacked the GOP nominee, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) 85% for attacking Democrat Mark Pryor.
Though there is no monetary teat, or other appendage, Dayspring won’t pull to extract cash, he routinely accuses conservatives, like Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100%, and conservative organizations like the Family Research Council of putting fund raising ahead of principle– which to Dayspring equates with whatever Establishment corruptocrat he’s being paid to support. At a time when the best man for his wedding was under arrest for child pornography (and favoriting pornographic tweets) he accused Mark Levin and the Senate Conservative Fund of pay-to-play purchases of Levin’s book. This is simply another of the lies Dayspring has told, knowing them to be lies. And then he moves along to yet another lie.
If you want to read Dayspring’s sordid history in GOP politics, we have it here.
We need to move away from this revolving door of GOP establishment apparatchiks affixing themselves like barnacles to candidates. Walker is not the only candidate with this problem. The equally odious Austin Barbour is working on Rick Perry’s campaign.
There is no way I will support Governor Walker so long as Dayspring is affiliated in any way, no matter how tangential, with his campaign. This hiring of a casual liar, of a man who sets about to destroy the reputations of anyone he is told to attack speaks ill of Governor Walker. If he keeps Dayspring it also tells you that Governor Walker is no conservative. He has now become the designated establishment candidate. If Dayspring stays with the campaign, conservatives must oppose him no matter the cost.
Scott was never on my list of top candidates, but this just reinforces what I knew about where he stands...that will be with the establishment.
I stand with Ted
I like Walker but hiring anyone from the Thad Cochran campaign is tone-deaf.
It’s amazing how, one by one, they all do or say some stupid sh*t to snatch defeat right out of thin air.
Walker is a career politician...and a squish. Walker needs to stay in his cushy little WI where he can play around with other RINO’s like Paul Ryan.
Red State slams Walker for hiring Brad Dayspring.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this wisconsin interest ping list.
I hate to say that I have called Walker a nothing burger but that’s what he is.
(I like Walker but hiring anyone from the Thad Cochran campaign is tone-deaf.)
I like Government Walker’s track record. However, people are known by their actions, and I no longer give politicians the benefit of the doubt. This decision is just unacceptable.
This doesn’t surprise me. Birds of a feather. As juvenile as it sounds, Walker has been cheating and using dirty tricks in campaigns since college. Marquette cited his campaign when he ran for office for cheating.
He is still under campaign finance investigation for illegal coordination between fundraisers from his last two campaigns.
It’s worse than tone deaf, it’s a tip off that he’s O.K. with using Democrats in a Republican primary to keep out a conservative.
I’ve have suspicions about Walker, he fired an open borders consultant after it became known who she was. We’ll see how long this guy lasts.
Nobody other than political junkies is going to care about any of this inside baseball stuff, and it will have no impact on anything.
It is and will be... Cruz or Lose(BADLY)...
That is IF Huckaby or Lindsey Graham is not CHOSEN.. or even Trump..
by voter fraud or some other kind of fraud.. (Romney re-mix)..
Sounds a bit over the top to me, to walk away from a guy because of one of his advisors.
I am betting the author already had Walker on his s*** list, and was looking for an excuse.
I am looking at Walker’s record and stance on policy. I like him.
Wisconsin has been anything but cushy for Walker.
I like him too....but this was a bad hire.....bad bad hire...
I support Cruz. But, anyone who would cite to the completely trumped up, phony, illegal campaign finance investigation as grounds for rejecting Walker is no conservative.
Yup, Mitt Walker isn’t ready for prime time or maybe never will be...his staffing decisions are telling us exactly who HE is...it’s not who most of us are...conservatives. Walker is over-hyped and needs a thorough vetting.
Except for the name, there is no evidence of conservative from that poster.
This very poor decision of Mr. Walker is a deal breaker for me.
More than hiring one creep, this regrettable choice destroys his credibility for a campaign as a conservative. Mr. Dayspring would be an excellent adviser for a Democrat, which, at times, he seems to be.
Remember being shilled to vote for the Romney and McCain failures and after the but kicking losses, finding out that they had very highly paid advisers who had never ran a successful campaign for a Republican.
Mr. Walker would be an ok Senator representing only big multinational corporations and other traditional RINO values.
