Walker’s silence leads me to believe that at best Walker agrees with the slam and at worst sent the donor out to make it. That is Romney’s style. Since early hires are GOPe I’d say Walker is getting some bad advice.

“Walker’s silence leads me to believe that at best Walker agrees with the slam and at worst sent the donor out to make it. That is Romney’s style. Since early hires are GOPe I’d say Walker is getting some bad advice.”
I think you’ve nailed it. Walker’s campaign is overflowing GOP INSIDERS, and it’s very likely they told walker to have the “little guys” do the attacking, and maybe Trump wouldn’t respond. And they DEFINITELY advised Walker not to apologize, but rather “stay above the fray”.
Oh well, that didn’t work, too.
So, you assume:
1. Walker didn’t call Trump on the matter.
2. Walker agreed with the criticism.
3. Walker would have put it in that crude form.
4. Walker sent the fundraiser out to say it (in a private email, by the way)
5. The private email would go public.
6. Romney would have done the above.
7. Walker hired the same sort of people Romney did.
8. Walker got the above advice from them.
That’s one hell of a pile of assumptions you’ve got there.
Here’s a couple of assumptions of my own:
1. Walker had nothing to do with the email
2. Walker is trying to be positive rather than negative.
3. Walker is standing back waiting to see if Trump makes a fool of himself yet again.
4. Walker is now preparing a measured response to Trump’s criticisms (Wisconsin has damned good roads despite being in the frozen north, great ACT scores, and fantastic medical care.) and will deliver them in a measured way to a responsible news source should he be asked to respond.
5. Walker has no intention of dropping to Trump’s level and responding in kind.
We’ll see whose assumptions pan out.
