Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker sank to a new low in his effort to fight with real estate mogul billionaire Donald Trump during an interview with Politico’s chief White House correspondent, Mike Allen, at a Koch Brothers-sponsored event in California this weekend. In the interview, Walker accused Trump of acting like a Democrat. ...
”On McCain, Walker said ‘no matter what you think of John McCain’s politics, John McCain is an American hero,’” Strauss continued.
“And then, on fire directed at him from Trump, Walker said that the real estate mogul went after him ‘because of something not me or my staff said but a volunteer said, which I think was unfortunate,’” Strauss wrote, quoting Walker.
“More than a week ago Walker fundraiser Gregory Slayton referred to Trump as a ‘DumbDumb’ in a fundraising invitation. All together, Walker said, Trump was basically taking the same attack route as Democrats,” Strauss continued, before quoting Walker in full.
“But he basically used the talking points that the Democrats used over the last four years,” Walker said. “As many of you know, three times we won because those points aren’t accurate.”
Many establishment Republicans have attacked Trump for having been a Democrat in his past, but the line of criticism is largely ineffective because some of the best conservative Republicans—like Ronald Reagan, the former President, or Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court Justice—are former Democrats.
Walker’s latest attack on Trump came at a Freedom Partners event—an organization funded by the Koch Brothers—in Dana Point, California.
It’s the latest in a brewing bout between the two since a fundraiser for Walker called Trump a “DumbDumb” in an official fundraising invitation sent out by the Walker ...
A new Iowa poll out this week from Gravis Marketing has Walker slipping behind Trump, down 15 points

An example of a hero is Alvin York. McCain got shot down.
Might as well call Kerry a hero.
Iowa is a must win state for Walker. Because his chances of winning in NH & SC are much smaller. His momentum will be seriously hurt if he loses in his neighboring state of Iowa.
A man that runs to the USCOC for funding should not be criticizing anyone for anything until he stops associating with liberals.
Walker apparently SUPPORTS McCain’s use of the
IRS to attack conservatives.
And that makes Walker = scum.
Article has generated thousands of comments on Breitbart “4859” total.
Last week on “Morning Joe” Trump himself said a lot of his views are those of a Democrat.
McSnot lost 4 planes! How many other pilots would have been flying with that kind of loss? He had a big daddy.
Walker is the GOPe backup plan should Jeb wimp out (likely). Cruz is our backup plan should Trump flame out (unlikely).
Walker is the Plan B K street puppet if Jebbie fails.
The IvanaTrump smear was from Team Walker so get ready for more of nasty Gope destroy conservatives at any cost election crap.
Uh, Juan WAS an American Hero. Based on performance over the last 35 years he is a traitor.
I guess Walker is as smart as he looks. He didn’t learn from attacking Trump the first time. Not gonna be pretty for Mr. Walker in the coming week.
Walker is a Govenor from a deeply Socialist state. That’s always worked out so well for us in the past. Wisconsin voted for Walker AND Obama, that tells me all I need to know.
Walker should know by now that walking that path does not work.
McCain has mixed reviews as a POW and even as a pilot. McCain is a hero, but he has used his status to get where he is. McCain has NOT used the power he obtained through his service, to help the military.
McCain will not be re-elected is my prediction.
Walker will sink himself with that kind of boring rhetoric.
I like Walker and wish him the best.
Good observation. Do we really need another Carter? Walker could even be worse.
You are spot on. Dayspring fingerprints all over that.
But as conservative joy has demonstrated in her posts, the Donald IS using Democratic talking points against, though somewhat incomprehensably.
The Donald says....
“Wisconsin’s doing terribly. It’s in turmoil. The roads are a disaster because they don’t have any money to rebuild them. They’re borrowing money like crazy. They projected a $1 billion surplus, and it turns out to be a deficit of $2.2 billion. The schools are a disaster. The hospitals and education was a disaster. And he was totally in favor of Common Core, which I hate.
-—Wisconsin is rebuilding the critical largest interchange in the state for $ 500 million. Our roads are great, but they are spending too much on round abouts.
—Walker has REDUCED WISCONSIN DEBT in the budget by 67 percent!!!

and our Moody’s rating has improved.

—Wisconsin school performance is SECOND IN THE COUNTRY measured by the ACTs. (Walker proposed cuts which were restored by the legislature — any conservatives here think there isn’t some waste in public education?)
— Who knows WTF Trump is talking about regarding hospitals???!?!?
—Walker line item vetoed language promoting Common Core

I’m holding fire on the Donald, but Walker is right these are ALL Democratic talking points. I hope he’s not running to bring Hillary to power.
I am fed up with the DC elite and Walker signing up to be the new Romney Smear machine.candidate.
It's what the Dems want
He never attacked Trump. It was a volunteer.
