Walker Fires Political Director As Campaign Suffocates From Abortion Scandal

I think it’s time to send in Walker’s backup. Or maybe a fullback. Or maybe just an empty backfield. No candidate at all.

Sounds like Dems should be hiring this Crowe guy to manage all GA GOP campaigns

Crowe previously served as the political director of ex-Sen. David Perdue’s (R-GA) disastrous gubernatorial campaign against incumbent governor and Trump punching bag Brian Kemp (R), who defeated Perdue by more than 50 points in the primaries.

Walker: This Crowe guy looks good. Let’s hire him.

Walker’s Political Director was a moron Taylor Crowe is a total moron, not surprising talking into to account he graduated from Liberty U.

I hate to give the GOP any ideas, but perhaps the best strategy would be for Walker to announce that if he is elected he will resign just after he is sworn in, allowing Kemp to appoint a replacement.

On the other hand, would anyone believe it if he said that?

It’s not clear what exactly he was suspected of leaking and if there were other reasons for his ouster.

The other reason… Walker’s leaky peepee in 2009.

To be fair, Walker probably read about it and thought Crowe had played wide receiver for Purdue.

Here’s a chance for an up-and-coming fascist poobah wannabe to make a name him/herself in the lofty realm of miracle workers by leading the campaign to victory in November. Really, there’s only one such godlike fascist capable of such a feat, but tfg is presently busy trying to keep his own ass out of the clink.

And that godlike fascist, tfg, created this mess in the first place.

The internal polling must be really bad for Walker.

I wonder if Crowe is the guy who told Walker he had to come out in favor of a complete, no exceptions, abortion ban.

For so many GOP’ers in Georgia, it really doesn’t mater who the candidate is, if they are GOP, they will vote and say “We need the Senate!” Qualifications are not a requirement, only of DJT likes you. UGH! We are in serious trouble and may not survive this assault on democracy, very sad :disappointed_relieved:.
