Ex-Scott Walker campaign manager Rick Wiley told Politico “he had an ‘all-in Iowa’ plan that would have moved the headquarters from Madison, Wis., to Des Moines and cut the staff from about 85 to 20 as of Thursday. But Walker, floundering in debates and on the stump, was facing such a sudden drought in donations that even those drastic moves wouldn’t have guaranteed solvency.”
