States have to balance their budgets. He spent too much and therefore had a huge deficit and needs to raise taxes and cut spending to clear that monster deficit.

There’s no defense or whining here. All I’m saying is that Trump is already running a national campaign and he’s simply playing smart politics by getting Dem voters to cross over.


By lying about Walker’s record?

I hear alot of this from Trumpers on how he’s going to get all these Democrats to vote for him. Well, he’s certainly adopting alot of their talking points whether it’s 9/11, WMDs in Iraq, healthcare..

Which tells me, if elected, he’ll govern closer to the left

So he is just your typical lying scumbag politician that will say anything to fool voters and get himself elected.

But like I said, Trump was never a check-the-box conservative to begin with anyway. As long as he's positioned on key issues such as Islam, trade, immigration, and the 2nd Amendment, I have no issue with him going after Dem voters and exposing Walker's soft underbelly of support.

Look at what Deal just did in GA. Caving to the homonazis. Haley in SC over the Confederate flag. Kasich in OH expanding Obamacare. Scott in FL doing the same. These Governors had their chance to step up but continued to push the GOPe agenda. That lack of leadership is now emboldening leftist groups and activists. I guarantee you most of these Governors are not going to win re-election.

Trump is wrong on this one. I think he got bad info — maybe even on purpose — I wouldn’t put anything past the Hillary supporting GOPe.

He hit me first, momma. He hit me first.

Everyone who has been attacked by Trump attacked him first. Trump merely gave a speech announcing his entry into the race and everyone crapped bricks.

That’s Trump’s lying defense for everything.

Please, get real.

He still maintains that Cruz attack his wife first which is a blatant lie and something he cannot prove.

Cruz PAC did and it was addressed on dozens of threads.

What you don’t seem to understand is if he gets elected, NOTHING HE TOLD YOU MAY OCCUR. NOTHING. And he has no problem with that. That would take someone who believe that lying is immoral and bad. He is not that person. Pathological liars don’t see lying as a bad thing. To them it is as normal and natural as breathing.

Property taxes are plenty high in WI, and are only coming down in recent years.

Hey pal, I've been lied to by Republicans since 1932, who promised to reign in the federal government. Instead, they cut deals with Democrats and then beat their chests in the elections bragging about how much less this or that unconstitutional program is now costing taxpayers thanks to them.

So excuse me if I've decided to go on a bender and support the one candidate who's running on a middle finger platform.

“Walker is a stooge of the GOPe.
I cannot believe all of the GOPe defending going on around here.”


It’s not “GOPe” to point out Trump’s lies. Walker has been a godsend for that state.

He is not a conservative in any meaningful sense of the word.

A better description: New York City liberal.

Good list of bad things. Justifies a lot of outrage from all of us.

However, it does not justify a conservative supporting Trump.

I could support Trump if I knew for a fact he would nominate Ted Cruz to the open seat on the SC.

Trump already burned that bridge. How could "President" Trump nominate Cruz for SC after publically going on and on and on about what a liar Cruz is? Who in either party would want such a liar sitting on the bench? Trump burned the wrong bridge.

Just so you know you can find Trumps position on his site ,Trump Tax Policy That is Trumps federal policy on taxes. He is committed to that policy.

State taxes are a different matter. States have different needs based on their financial condition. Some states have balanced budgets and do not need any new taxes or can actually reduce taxes. Apparently Trump feels that Walker was unable to balance the Wisconsin budget without a tax increase. Walker took tax increases off the table and consequently did not balance the budget.

Trump received the information on Walkers state financial record from trusted sources and he only mentioned them to explain that all was not peachy keen with the state of financial affairs in Wisconsin.

Walker is a stooge of the GOPe.

He's not, but even if he were, his record as governor is NOT what you attack him over. Those of us who lived there no what he did and who his enemies were.

Trump has his good points, but attacking a tax-cutting, budget-cutting, Public union reforming governor like Scott Walker is just wrong.
