Tension flares between Scott Walker and Chris Christie
American Thinker ^ | 10/28/2014 | Thomas Lifson

Scott Walker, the champion of the right of employees to not be forced into unions, has a massive bull’s-eye on his back, as the labor movement is engaged in an all-out spending spree to knock him out of office next Tuesday.  Walker and his supporters have been subjected to the dirtiest political retaliation imaginable, and he has already survived a union-funded recall campaign that tried to end his political career mid-term.

As we noted Sunday, it appears that the Republican Governors Association, headed by Chris Christie, is pulling back on financial support for television ads in the home stretch.

Yesterday, Gov. Walker made it evident that he does not appreciate the limited help he is getting from the Christie forces.  Alexander Burns reports in Politico:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he needs more help from the national GOP in his reelection fight — and an upcoming visit from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie isn’t going to cut it.

Speaking with reporters after a morning campaign stop here, Walker said he is getting outspent on television and faces overwhelming hostility from national Democratic groups and labor unions.

Asked if he was satisfied with the support he’s received from national Republicans, Walker indicated he hopes to get more backup from the Republican Governors Association. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who chairs the RGA, is coming to campaign for Walker this week — but the Wisconsin Republican said he’s “not looking for surrogates.”

“[Christie] is coming because he asked if he could come and we weren’t going to say no,” Walker said. “But we’re not looking for surrogates. The people that have been campaigning with me are by and large from Wisconsin.”

It’s looking like Christie is secretly wishing that his powerful potential competitor for the 2016 nomination will flame out.

Yep.

Christie would brutalize his primary opponents and then fold like a cheap camera in the general. Typical RINO, typical politician. Replay of the Romney campaign.

Replay of the Romney campaign.


Romney was 10x better than Christie. Anyone would be at least 10x better.

Lots of similarities between these two!

The one on the right though is still the champion in the Benedict Arnold department.
