You might remember Rick Wiley who was previously serving as a campaign manager for Governor Scott Walker.   Wiley is BIG GOPe, and came under fire for building a campaign apparatus that was too big, too expensive, far too RNC/GOPe, and also way too stupid.

However, despite all that (and there’s much worse), Paul Manafort wanted Wiley hired; he claims now it was a sympathy hire, so the Trump campaign brought on Wiley.
