Yep. Taya Kyle was on board with Rick Perry but tweeted this the night that Perry dropped out. Its a good indicator of how treating people with respect can pay off in the long run.

Julianne Thompson and Rachel Little Join Previously Announced Louie Hunter To Bolster Cruz’s GA Campaign
HOUSTON, Texas — Today, the Cruz for President campaign announced that two key leaders in Georgia would be joining the Cruz campaign after being previously allied with Governor Scott Walker. The addition of Julianne Thompson and Rachel Little, along with Louie Hunter who previously announced his support for Cruz, means that all three of Walker’s former state co-chairs will now be helping to organize the state for Cruz.
Thompson is one of Georgia’s most active Republican leaders. She is the former co-chairman of the Atlanta Tea Party and co-founder of the Capitol Coalition of Conservative Leaders, Georgia’s largest political coalition, and a former press secretary of the Georgia Republican Party.
Little is the immediate past Chairman of the Gwinnett County Republican Party and recently received the Georgia Republican Party Chairman of the Year Award. She was recognized as the Woman of the Year by the Conservative Republican Women of North Atlanta and served as Mitt Romney and Herman Cain’s Georgia state co-chair in 2012.
Louie Hunter is a former Cobb County Commissioner and the Director of the Georgia Center-Right Coalition.
“We are encouraged and excited to see the caliber of support flowing to the Cruz campaign,” said Cruz national political director Mark Campbell. “It’s evidence that Cruz’s record of being the only consistent conservative in the race is having a significant impact on the grassroots. Julianne, Rachel and Louie’s experience, knowledge, and network will give our team a sizeable advantage in Georgia and we are thrilled to have them on board.”

Why not, they did such a good job for Walker...

They aren't being put "in charge", they are just joining the team.
Hell you don’t let the enemy inside the wire for God sakes.
This shit pisses me off! Walker's supporters are NOT the enemy of Cruz!
For God's sake, think! We want to draw people to vote for Cruz, not piss them off and make them go elsewhere!
People like napscoordinator drove people away from Walker with his venom and bile toward every other candidate.
Now stop it!
We should be welcoming more support, not trying to stop more supporters from joining Cruz!
That is the way you lose elections while pretending you are being morally superior!
I not sure that getting Walker people is the right choice.
Hell, I’m not sure getting ANY repubbie “veterans” is the right choice. They’ve failed in everything else they do. (Not that they’ve attempted much.)
Trust factor??? I don’t know...
Am I the only one that caught that?
Who was Walker's biggest competitor? Trump? Cruz?
Cruz may have been too clever by half here.
Walker can come back in once these guys have worked their magic.
Walker supporters are the enemy of freaking AMERICA. Their hero is a USCOC amnesty backer.
This is how it has always worked. Its why Trump rushed out to say something nice about Walker yesterday in hopes of grabbing some people from the campaign.
Running a non attack campaign is one of the great advantages Cruz has. I’ve picked up more than 2 dozen former Walker supporters as followers on twitter today alone.
I don’t think that they’re in charge of anything except getting Cruz votes in Georgia, certainly not overall strategy or finance.
And you don’t see that as a problem considering votes are what actually matter? Come on TR, think it through.
Building the important infrastructure. Anybody who can’t see that doesn’t understand the process. Go Cruz!
yeah....stay away from the failure mode that shot down Walker.
Building it with GOPe handmaidens is suicidal.
You are a moron. You know how you lose elections? By telling people that your candidate is too good for their votes.
This moron has been right about all of this so far. ALL of it.
You want people in your org that fought you tooth and nail 2 days ago? Really? You call that sound strategy?
Buy a mirror. Look in it. Moron is what you will find looking back.
I don’t know that I would pick up Walkers leftovers.
I agree. Walker was down just a small fraction above zero in polling. They weren't doing him much good...
So where do these magic supporters of Cruz come from for him to win the election? Tell me, moron. What candidates supporters would be acceptable to you?
SUSPENDING a campaign is common. It enables them to keep the campaign accounts open.
These are the people who work the machinery that gets the right thinking people to the polls on election day. Are you going to go down there and do it?
