Donald Trump unloaded on Scott Walker over the weekend while in Iowa:
He went down a list of criticisms that seemed the result of an overnight opposition-research effort. “Wisconsin is doing terribly,’’ he said. “The roads are a disaster because they don’t have any money to rebuild them, and they’re borrowing money like crazy.’’
He cited figures for the state’s budget deficit. “I wrote this stuff all down but I don’t need it because I have a really good memory,” he said.
He also accused Mr. Walker of flip-flopping on the Common Core education standards, having once supported them. “Scott Walker changed when he saw he was getting creamed, so now he’s not in favor,’’ he said.
By the way, for once, everything The Donald said about Walker was true.
What set Trump off was some adolescent name-calling by a Walker ally in a fundraiser email:
A fundraiser for Scott Walker’s presidential campaign called Donald Trump “DumbDumb” in a fundraising invitation and said electing the New York developer would be “a total and complete disaster for the country.”
“As you’ve seen Gov Walker is now well ahead of everyone not named DumbDumb (aka Trump) in the national polls,” wrote Walker fundraiser Gregory Slayton, a New Hampshire venture capitalist who served as consul general to Bermuda during the George W. Bush administration. “He’s also a plain spoken member of the 99% (as opposed to someone pretending to be so)…and that will be a KSF in 2016.”
Walker's campaign, took its sweet time to respond to this kerfuffle, but did not denounce the name calling:
Walker spokeswoman Kirsten Kukowski said: “Americans are frustrated with the direction of our country and we owe them a positive conversation about how we move forward together. With that in mind, the governor is going to talk about what he is for and not against and would encourage others to do the same.”
Team Walker is probably feeling pretty nervous for good reason. In New Hampshire, Walker is in a distant third place behind Trump and Jeb Bush. In Iowa, where Walker was a shining star, he's seen his remarkable lead dwindle to just two points ahead of Trump, who keeps climbing in the polls despite - or maybe because - of his outrageous ongoing commentary.
While Trump might be nothing more than a flash in the pan, if he can make Walker's campaign crash and burn, that's perfectly all right by me.
Scott Herbert WALKER Bush.
Exactly!

How gracious of you.
Re: “debt of 2 Trillion dollars” - This is a lie, and the folks that originate it knew it was a lie at the time. The truth is “At the start of the budget process last year all the state organizations were asked what they wanted, and if the budget funded them all, there would have been a 2 billion dollar deficit. The budget, which was signed few days ago, is balanced. Everybody did not get what they asked for.”
Most Americans THINK Moochelle is a babe, because Vogue spends 3 hours in makeup and 5 hours in Photoshop for every cover.
I'm a Cruz supporter, actually. But unfortunately, the average AMERICAN is shallow -- as two election wins for Obama have proven. The America you knew before 1990 is gone forever. We are going down the drain to Third World status. The only hope is radical, forceful, painful purge of liberalism. Cruz would be ideal, but he sits at 4% (at best). Trump would be D.C.'s worst enemy -- someone who actually knows how to read a balance sheet.
Are you asserting that Scott Walker is as well-known nationally as was Lincoln in 1859? Love ya, 2DV, but Walker is no Lincoln. And his wife is a commie lib, and that is a DEAL BREAKER for me.
In the process of the primaries it is diverting and self defeating. It leaves a smooth path for the Democrat to reach November unsullied while the conservatives eat each other up and leave the field to Bush. The gopes are better ignored no matter how much Bush spends on trashing the leading conservative lights as they come up. It doesn’t do him any good except where it gets the conservatives throwing mud at each other, which is what happened the last two cycles and has apparently begun this cycle already. The bright spot is Cruz has stayed out of the circular firing squad so far.
You are as shallow and nasty as the average Trump supporter.

OK, “nasty”..... you are probably right. But, “shallow”... nah; I don’t think so. If that’s the case, there’s a whole, heck of a lot of shallow folks tuned in to this Election. I’m a Cruz guy, but, I love what Trump is doing. He has the GOPe and the DemocRATS, both, shared scitless.
Open borders/Amnesty Walker=RINO no thanks.
Love your accurate description of Mrs. Obama’s style of dress.
‘16 is going to be a Republican Year for the Presidency. The Democrats are almost moribund and the people sheeple are tired of them. To much change to fast, socially, economically and foreign policy. The sheeple are over loaded. They want a “Republican normal guy” for a while because they are scared.
...his liberal wife and kids are enthusiastically pro-gay marriage.

Can anyone verify that to be a “fo sho”? If that’s true, then Walker ranks down with Bush, Christie and Graham on my sheet.
To me, Michelle Obama looks like a dude who had a sex change.

Scott Walker’s Same Sex Marriage Dilemma
http://6abc.com/news/scott-walkers-same-sex-marriage-dilemma/848520/
It’s primary season and ever one of them started it.
"Walker says, she doesn’t agree with her husband all the time, “but most of the time things work out a lot better than I think they will.” Gay marriage in particular is an issue where the family has clear differences."
Sorry...deal breaker. Why would she even tell the press this? Trouble.
Oh...you were talking about Cruz. He is a legal giant who has argued before the SCOTUS numerous times. Totally agree. And a master debater as well.
Not that there's anything wrong with that!!!
