Sources: Scott Walker’s Donors Are Circulating Rumor About Campaign Manager
Source: Buzz Feed.com (via Huffington Post)
A number of Walker’s donors and supporters have been circulating a rumor about Wiley in recent days, apparently aimed at discrediting him and bringing about a shakeup in the organization, according to two Republican sources. The sources, neither of whom is affiliated with a presidential campaign, said they heard the rumor from people in Walker’s camp. They also said an anonymous letter about Wiley is circulating in political and donor circles, though it is unclear where it originated.

I don't much care what the rumor pertains to or whether it is true -- when the national news about your campaign is about some insiders trashing other insiders, the campaign is doomed.
More bad news for the already distressed Walker campaign.

What happens when he is no longer useful to his masters. They will abandon him and leave him to the people he has screwed over.
Alone, broke, and without a friend in this world. No tears will be shed here.
