I've never heard of Liz Mair until now and consider myself pretty well informed. Another Chamber of Commerce flunky?

I fail to see why the RINO wing is so upset with Trump. Most of his views mirror the stated views of Mitt Romney. He just has the backbone to actually sell them.

I guess in the world of RINOland, actually fighting for your stated positions is not a good thing. It is better to fold like a cheap tent.

She was fired from the Scott Walker campaign shortly after being hired for tweets that insult Iowans.

She's an idiot...and unemployed.

“...actually fighting for your stated positions is not a good thing.”

Actually, that’s not it all. RINO’s lie about what they what they intend to do until they get elected. After they are in office they do the exact opposite of what they promised and instead do the will of the big donors that financed their campaigns. They are already bought and paid for before they get elected. But Trump will do exactly what he says. They can’t buy and then control him. That’s what this is all about.

Under fire, Walker aide Liz Mair resigns



By Niall Stanage
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 about Iowa.

The news agency said that Liz Mair's resignation -- only a day after news broke that she had been hired -- would be immediate, quoting a statement from her.

The statement said, "The tone of some of my tweets concerning Iowa was at odds with that which Gov. Walker has always encouraged in political discourse."

Mair was, for the moment, affiliated with Walker's political action committee, but it was widely expected that she would play a role in his official campaign if he entered the 2016 race for the White House.

She had worked for Walker previously, when he faced a recall election in 2012. In 2008, she worked as online communications director for the Republican National Committee.

The controversy that engulfed her was focused primarily upon tweets she sent during the Iowa Freedom Summit in January, an event where Walker was seen to have shone.

At one point, she tweeted, "In other news, I see Iowa is once again embarrassing itself, and the GOP, this morning. Thanks, guys."

Shortly afterward, she added, also on Twitter, "The sooner we remove Iowa’s frontrunning status, the better off American politics and policy will be."

Mair's views of Iowa appalled GOP activists in the state, which holds the first contest in the presidential nominating calendar.

A co-chairman of the state GOP, Cody Hoefert, told The New York Times that he found the remarks, which also included criticisms of ethanol subsidies beloved by Iowa farmers, "disgusting and repulsive."

Opinions about Mair did not break along neat lines, even among conservatives, however. Erick Erickson, the activist and commentator behind RedState.com, wrote a defense of Mair earlier on Tuesday evening, before news of her resignation broke.

Erickson asserted that Mair was "very competent at her job" and suggested there was an orchestrated campaign to force her out.

"I think an early test for Scott Walker is going to be if he is willing to stand up to the sound and fury of people outraged by a staffer's tweet in the way he stood up to union activists," Erickson wrote.

He updated the post in light of the news of Mair's resignation. "Team Walker has botched this," he wrote, adding that it "plays into the 'not ready for prime time' theme already developing around Team Walker."

The initial Associated Press report also quoted Rick Wiley, one of Walker's closest aides, saying of Mair, "We accept those who have a variety of viewpoints on issue[s], but what we ultimately must have is absolute respect for people across the country."

Except for the wall and forced deportation.

And that is ALL THAT MATTERS in this election.

Because Trump committed the cardinal liberal sin of appearing racist in his introductory speech. To the irreligious left and the Beltway RINOs, who agree in lockstep with the far-left positions on all on social issues as taught by all the leading universities, anything that might or could be seen as racist is an unforgivable sin punishable by anything up to and including being burned at the stake.

Liz Mair worked for Walker briefly, had to leave quickly because she was outed as a Cheap Labor Express operative, hurting Walker’s stealth amnesty campaign.

She is pro-gay RINO who worked for Walker campaign tho I think Walker got rid of her due to the outcry of his conservative base.

Sheesh. She makes me embarrassed to say I ever was a Republican.

Whether one likes Trump or not, this is disgusting. Shame on her and her funding sources for stooping to such low-brow tactics!!!
