I also saw that Number USA did not give Cruz any credit for wanting to decrease legal immigration.

Well I’m glad you admit you would Trust someone who made 10 Billion in the private sector vs. pretty much a lifetime Establishment politician.

Don’t you think we need a politician that is not “politically correct”. Sorry but Walker IS “politically correct”.

The fact that Walker takes Jeb’s Establishment RINO position against Trump should alarm you.

Unlike Cruz, who is the most conservative, backs up Trump.

Government is not about “Finances” only. I don’t trust someone who is 69 years old and has “never thought about abortion before”. The selling of baby parts, trannys in the military, gay marriage, what’s financially expedient in those issues?

I am sorry this fundraiser, “Gregory Slayton” seems to be his name said this about Trump, ill-advised.

Still, if one contributes to Hillary Clinton, then one is contributing to someone who won the Margaret Sanger award, Planned Parenthood’s highest honor.

Right now, Trump has a lot of momentum and I support what he says, but contributing to Hillary still can be seen as contributing to the Pro-Choice movement.

Who is Gregory Slayton?

“Trump was referring to a Wall Street Journal report in which Gregory Slayton, a New York venture capitalist and Walker fundraiser, dismissed his candidacy.”

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-going-war-scott-135027502.html

Walker is a bit removed from a New York venture capitalist; but here, respectfully to all, what is worse? Having this fellow Slayton said this or contributing to a woman who Planned Parenthood honors?? Just being consistent.

Let alone, other causes the Clintons may be involved with, it’s too bad lobbies account for so much and in that, I do like it that Cruz seems to largely be his own man.

You are like Cult follower of Walker! Put down the Kool-Aid.

You say Walker is a conservative? Why because the Communist at MSNBC told you that?

Walker was for Common Core before he was against it.
Walker is for Open Borders
Walker was for Amnesty before he was against it.
Walker is for Rigid Trade Deals

All the above positions are NOT conservative.

Hilary is more of a republican than McConnell

Jeb Bush, Mitch McConnell, John Boenher, Mitt Romney, John McCain, etc.

All well established card carrying Republicans.

Enough said.

Gregoy Slayton, from New York, as far as we know, Slayton may know Trump and vice versa. Though Slayton should have been careful of his words, I’m not reading this as really being Walker’s fight, Walker did not say this.

Enlightened1 cult follower,

Supports someone who said very pro-amnesty things in Trump, has different standards for others.

Walker was and is pro-life, not giving to pro-abortion politicians like Hillary Clinton.

Walker defunded Planned Parenthood, Trump gave money to pro-choicers like Hillary and who knows what other politicians.

Walker has demonstratable pro-life actions, signed the ultra-sound bill.

Stared down the unions.

Why does anyone even WANT a Republican president? Look how they’ve morphed into Democrats. I want an American president; party does not matter.

Some points:

1. Trump is articulating MORE Republican positions then MOST republicans in political power ever articulate. He's more republican than most republicans.

2. Yes, he attacked Scott Walker's success AFTER Scott Walker's campaign attacked him.

3. Trump got where he is in by beat the competition. He understands that to win the nomination he has to beat the competition. That's what he's doing.

I think most people (90 plus %) agree the selling of baby parts is horrible. I even mentioned this to some pro abortionist and they were freaked out.

Here is Walker’s position on gay marriage.

Scott Walker is an ideological conservative, of that there in no real debate except for silly posts like yours. Walker took on the most powerful force in the Democrat Party, public sector unions, and won. He is now taking on teacher tenure, liberal academia, etc. He may not get every issue right, but he is most definitely a conservative.

Now Trump on the other hand is......well....ideologically nothing. He is a chameleon, simply for or against whatever is useful at the moment. Amnesty? Who says Trump is against that? I just watched him waffle and vomit up a bunch of mush about how he will secure the border first (as they all pretty much say now) and send the “bad ones” home. That means leaving the rest here. Trump has no plans to send 11+ illegal aliens home, his position is the same as the rest.

Good. We should be insulted that Juan McCainez, Lindsay Lograham, Miotch McConnell and others like them DO pretend to be Republicans when they seek our vote every election cycle.

I don’t either but I do believe his nova will fade.

In the meantime, he is providing a HUGE service by keeping the jackals of the press occupied and preventing them from tearing down GOP candidates as early as the Dems would like. Hillary’s invisible campaign is even more invisible now, except for the bad parts like her nasty persona and litany of criminality. Jeb Bush’s sideline-sitting waiting for the ‘electable’ PR to begin is being marginalized, thank God.

“So why would Donald Trump attack them? Because 1) he is not a Republican, and 2) he is not a conservative. Trump went after Walker yesterday”

1. Trump is as much a conservative and more so than the majority of the Republican caucus. Notice what happened Sunday. Republicans justified their sellout by attacking Cruz.

2. Trump has mentioned Hillary has donors and says she is a criminal. Not quite as bad as calling someone a “cancer”.

3. Walker attacked Trump last week.

4. In politics, except for Obama, all failings of the CEO are the leader’s responsibility.

5. Does attacking Trump establish one as being solid conservative. If so, wait for Boehner and McConnell.

Donald Trump is the Jesse Ventura of this race...except most of the “pox on both of your houses” is directed at the side he purports to be on the side of. It behooves neither of the candidates I support 1. Walker 2. Cruz to personally speak out against his flip flops until Trump ends up on stage behind a podium.

The supporters of Trump are no different than the supporters of Jesse Ventura in MN or of Obama in 2008. Even with all of the evidence of their past their new savior in politics isn’t going to be anything like he always has been and then they’ll scream about how they were deceived in their vote when they show those stripes that the voters chose to wholly ignore.

’ Trump is 69 years old and “has never thought about abortion” before. Sorry, I don’t buy it.’

Perhaps he’s never been pregnant.

My brother invited me to go with him to the RNC Convention in 1992 to see Bush. I think it was in July and Clinton was already campaigning. During his speech, Bush mentioned that after Labor Day he would start getting his message out, etc. On the way home I told my brother that if Bush waits that long to start, he will lose the election. He did and he did.
