Democrats are excellent judges of character, as evidenced by the fact that Wendy Davis chose this guy as her communications director:
Here's the guy who decided attacking Abbott's wheelchair situation was a good idea -> @Zac_Petkanas

Zac’s as loyal as they come, pimping that noxious attack ad like a real pro:
Greg Abbott even argued against an amputee in court, saying she wasn't disabled b/c she had a prosthetic limb http://t.co/FDmKNvCCFA #TXlege

Davis ad says Abbott got rich off his tree-limb case, then resists other victims' suits; Abbott calls ad "disgusting" http://t.co/EhVodwoTKb

He’s so proud!
@Zac_Petkanas do you welcome the backlash?
— Christopher Hooks (@cd_hooks) October 10, 2014
@cd_hooks I'm not following. Voters shown this ad ask a simple question: how can Greg Abbott deny victims the justice he sought himself?
— Zac Petkanas (@Zac_Petkanas) October 10, 2014
@Zac_Petkanas @cd_hooks my straw poll suggests that voters shown this ad are asking "wtf, Wendy Davis?"
— EricaGrieder (@EricaGrieder) October 10, 2014
@EricaGrieder @cd_hooks Sounds scientific.
— Zac Petkanas (@Zac_Petkanas) October 10, 2014
Even Chuck Todd couldn’t convince him that the ad might’ve gone too far:
In football terms, this is what we would call a "Hail Mary" from the Davis campaign. https://t.co/qWSXOuKiD7 // very risky
— Chuck Todd (@chucktodd) October 10, 2014
.@chucktodd You wouldn't think it was so risky if you talked to the voters who've seen this ad.
— Zac Petkanas (@Zac_Petkanas) October 10, 2014
It was a huge hit with the voters, guys!
"What? We showed this to rabid leftists and they LOVED this ad!" https://t.co/Qeq2fUydVw
— RB (@RBPundit) October 10, 2014
"We had a balanced panel. It was 50% people who hate Abbott and 50% people who only disliked him!!" https://t.co/Qeq2fUydVw
— RB (@RBPundit) October 10, 2014
Shorter @Zac_Petkanas: You don't understand. The Davis supporters we polled LOVE when we pick on crippled people. https://t.co/IY0MvAbFvz

@JustEric “All the Davis supporters LOVE us for attacking a disabled guy! What’s your damage, dude?!” @RBPundit @Zac_Petkanas
— Heather (@hboulware) October 10, 2014
You need a new focus group. @Zac_Petkanas @chucktodd You wouldn't think it was so risky if you talked to the voters who've seen this ad.
— JG (@JohnG405) October 10, 2014
Focus groups are the least of his problems now.
Bro, my advice would be to lay low for a while. This can only end badly for you. @Zac_Petkanas
— RB (@RBPundit) October 10, 2014
Too late. He’s already getting pummeled — and rightly so:
I am a voter that has seen the ad. I am a native Texan. And I am also disabled. You people are sick. @Zac_Petkanas @chucktodd
— Mav #Southbound (@TheMaverick21) October 10, 2014
I'm a TX voter. It's trash. RT @Zac_Petkanas: .@chucktodd You wouldn't think it was so risky if you talked to the voters who've seen this ad

@Zac_Petkanas @cd_hooks Ask yourself this simple question: Where are you being such a dick about it?
— Ryan Gustafson (@RyanLGustafson) October 10, 2014
@Cameron_Gray @Zac_Petkanas Desperation stinks badly
— Jim Hawkins (@jimdwrench) October 10, 2014
@Zac_Petkanas people like you disgust me. @politico

@Zac_Petkanas Sell your soul much playa?

@Zac_Petkanas @WendyDavisTexas horrible ad about Greg Abbott. Yall that desperate?? #notcool #txlege
— Dixon Steel (@dixonsteel) October 10, 2014
@Zac_Petkanas @chucktodd There's no way you're getting undecided voters with this ad. If you're undecided or conservative, highly offensive.
— Keep Texas Red (@myanof) October 10, 2014
@Zac_Petkanas Yes, keep shining up that turd, bro! https://t.co/IfvdO5NemA

You should be ashamed RT @Zac_Petkanas: .@chucktodd You wouldn’t think it was so risky if you talked to the voters who’ve seen this ad.
— Jay Caruso (@JayCaruso) October 10, 2014
You really think "voters" approve of your ad subliminally targeting the disabled? Mandatory drug testing –> @Zac_Petkanas @chucktodd

Possibly biggest douche in politics MT @RBPundit: My advice would be to lay low for a while. This can only end badly for you. @Zac_Petkanas
— Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) October 10, 2014
Exit flashback:
Recall that @Zac_Petkanas also tried to portray #GregAbbott as white nationalist-friendly http://t.co/pJi9bw9CtF – Great hire, #WendyDavis
— Cameron Gray (@Cameron_Gray) October 10, 2014
Hell of a guy.
Democrats, please pay this man to run all your campaigns @Zac_Petkanas
