As the results were coming in from the Iowa caucuses on Tuesday night, former Michele Bachmann campaign manager Ed Rollins had some tough words for his former boss — telling her to get out for her own good.
During Fox News Channel’s coverage of the vote, Rollins advised Bachmann to move on because her shot at the GOP nomination looks to be over.
“I feel badly for Michele and her team because she has worked very, very hard,” he said. “Unfortunately she may have peaked too soon and at the end of the day she didn’t pass the muster that you need to be looked as a credible candidate. I think if she goes on she will go into debt.”
Rollins said that after the Iowa caucuses, Bachmann’s prospects will grow even dimmer.
“I think to a certain extent, there is no way — she has no organization in New Hampshire,” he said. “South Carolina is toughest politics that we play. And you’re going to have Perry and Gingrich and others fight. She would be better to endorse somebody today. She won’t take my counsel but at the end of the day, don’t go in debt.”
