An online communications strategist working for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) campaign-in-waiting resigned late Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, after controversy erupted over disparaging comments she had made disparaging comments about Iowa?

Wasn't she just hired two days ago?

Did Walker change his mind again regarding his new and now former pro-amnesty media/communications consultant?

Disparaging comments about Iowa? But I was told by a dozen people here that the media people controlling the campaigns only say what the candidates wants them to say and do not voice personal policy or comments.

What a circus.

BTW this reeks. Walker received tons angry feedback regarding his pro-amnesty choice, who apparently he's associated closely with for years.

Seems Walker is attempting to save his political butt again by suddenly once again changing his tune.

But media/communications campaign people do not make policy and only say and do things at the direction of the candidate.

Oh yeah...

This is the best the GOP can do for 2016? I’m just not getting excited.

It didn’t take long for Walker’s new communication/media person to blow it.

Of course the massive tsunami of anger directed at Walker for hiring a pro-amnesty supporter had absolutely nothing to do with any of this.

Oh yeah....

They weren’t disparaging remarks about Iowa. They were disparaging remarks about Democrats who claimed to be shocked to learn Iowa families were making money off the ethanol subsidy.

Some of the Walker bandwagoners aren’t going to connect the dots. The only chance Walker has of being elected is being against amnesty.
All his friends and associates want amnesty. He used to want amnesty.
So he changes his mind to get elected.
Then what?

Some of the bandwagoners don’t care, as long as they back a “winner”, even if it means losing their country.

Not only waffles, but he is always quick to throw his staff under the bus when media-drive controversies erupt. He’s a great governor but I don’t care for him as a presidential candidate.

This is interesting.

According to a 2009 study by the UW-Madison Program on Agricultural Technology Studies, illegal invaders now make up about 40 percent of the Wisconsin's dairy labor force, up from 5 percent a decade ago. Many of these illegal invaders are in the United States illegally.

Walker now has almost as many political endorsements by comprehensive-immigration-supporting dairy associations than there are attorneys who represent victims killed by illegals driving drunk on the backroads of Wisconsin.

She should not have been hired in the first place. It was not a secret what her politics was, and also the tweets about Iowa were not helpful.

Pro-amnesty, pro-gay marriage and pro-abort means not someone who I would want to help me communicate my policies if I am a conservative candidate.

Either it is poor judgment in hiring decisions, or they are birds of a feather.

I remember back during the G.W. Bush administration, news was leaked that his staffers treated social conservatives with contempt. That is what you get when you hire far left liberals into a supposedly conservative administration. How did that make Bush's social conservative voters feel?

I do not know how it happened that she got the job in the first place, but she clearly did not belong on the team and now Walker gets it too. All i can say is good riddance.

According to a 2009

Walker wasn't Governor in 2009.

Wait a minute now.

I was just told 3 hours ago most in Wisconsin do not see millions entering illegally with conga-lines of Muslims being allowed in, to be a significant issue in Wisconsin.

He has repeatedly made recent statements opposing amnesty.

Disparaging comments about Iowa?

Basically, she questioned why is Iowa always first and politicians should stop kissing her ass.

How is that disparaging?
