Things he got wrong: Misunderstanding the GOP base, its priorities and stances. Pandering. Flip-flopping.

Becoming so invested in winning, no matter what it took, that he lost sight of his real identity as a political leader.

Treating Iowa as locked down, boasting early of the ability to win even in states like Nevada where winning always looked improbable.

Allowing certain staff (ahem) to marginalize and cut off people in Walker's orbit who had got him to the governorship and kept him there. — Liz Mair (@LizMair) September 21, 2015
Hiring people who spent a lot to build out a massive operation that would not be sustainable unless financing remained amazing forever. — Liz Mair (@LizMair) September 21, 2015
Minor things that didn't help: Key staff spending their time on, uh, stuff other than work when campaign was flailing. — Liz Mair (@LizMair) September 21, 2015
Not educating himself fast enough on issues outside governor's remit. Educating himself on some things by talking to the wrong people. — Liz Mair (@LizMair) September 21, 2015
One last thought: Walker's timing is good. Word is he just avoided getting tied to a very bad story that could well have been coming. — Liz Mair (@LizMair) September 21, 2015
Those are right on. I really liked Walker but I could tell the donor money started to affect him and weaken his views. He’s just another weak RINO now. Good riddance.
BOL!

why did you skip the last tweet that he bailed ahead of scandal ready to break?
Don’t forget this nugget:

Losers do that a lot. Liberals too. Same people really.
I think some people mentioned that fairly often...
As a sucessful campaign advisor to several candidates at state and local level in Illimois during the 60s through 80’s and a campaign designer contributer to the Reagan campaign on the state level. That marerial I’m told is in the Reagan library .
I find it a violation of a code of honor never to reflect badly on those who have hired me during any race and never spoke out even when the race was abandonded completely. Until that race is well over and the victor declared .
In Walker’s case he suspended campaigning and if I were advising him I’d suggest he do this because of the way it’s going. And announce withdrawal in exactly the same manner I would have advised he’s done which amazed me . Which means as Mark Levin speculated about this announcement “he could be back”.
Liz Mair, drunk tweeting isn’t pretty or lucrative. Plus, BI, the “business” news source for Democrat talking points. A double win.
