For the record from Politifact, Trump is lying.

Mixing apples and oranges, Trump said that under Walker, Wisconsin “projected a $1 billion (budget) surplus and it turns out to be a deficit of $2.2 billion.” There was in early 2014 a projection of a $1 billion surplus heading into the 2015-’17 budget period. Late in 2014, there was a projection of a $2.2 billion shortfall — the difference between expected revenues and the amount of money being requested by state agencies. But the shortfall was never a deficit — and some of the surplus was consciously spent by Republicans, as tax cuts. For a statement that contains only an element of truth and ignores critical facts that would give a different impression, our rating is Mostly False.

Just so you know for a fact, the Donald does not lie. He changed his mind and facts were wrong...

But he does have his lawyers looking into it.

T.Rump is like Clinton. You can tell he is lying or evading the truth whenever his jowls are moving.

Also for the record, Politifact is hardly the authority on facts.

Good thing Walker listens to Sheldon Adelson not Trump. Trump doesn’t love his country as much as Adelson.

Walker is a stooge of the GOPe.

I cannot believe all of the GOPe defending going on around here.

We are going to trade a three card monte dealer from Chicago for a NYC Realtor, sounds like an even trade.

If Walker had endorsed Trump, he would still be singing Walker’s praises. But as soon as Walker endorses Cruz, Trump attacks him using LIBERAL talking points just like Trump was channeling Harry Reid when he attacked George Bush and Ted Cruz.I’m sure the FR Trumpets will waste little time in trashing Walker. Maybe you Trumpets can find some pictures of Walker’s wife to attack her appearance, maybe Walker’s kids are ugly, surely trump can get some millage out of that.

Hopefully this latest left-wing notion Trump will help him lose Wisconsin.

But who knows? His supporters are quite fact-resistant.

Hey Dorothy. Do you know that Trump is simply playing politics here?

His objective is to win the state. He is appealing to Dem voters and independents who despise Hillary and are indifferent to Sanders.

Trump is not a check-the-box conservative. Nobody says he was or is trying to say he's the 2nd coming of Reagan. We just know that he's a big-picture leader who will concentrate on key issues and let the states decide the rest.

Go Home Trump and vote for Hillary.

Trashing what Wisconsin Republicans have done within the state to remove the corruption is better than you will ever do.

Trump you are the problem.

You can fool some people, but not Wisconsin.

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.

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.

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

Some possible solutions are just beyond the default process. They want to swill from big spending and robberies against the real problem solvers and makers, then shove the funny money to them. They’re making their bed. Let them lay in it.

Give way like a willow. Then, when the time is right, lash back.

Avoid buying anything that you don’t really need, and treat frugality as an ongoing, personal science. Learn continuously to be more self-sufficient and follow through. Learn to manufacture something as a hobby for now.
