A caucus is nothing at all like a primary.

“One voter mistook him for Marco Rubio.”

That doesn’t say very much for Walker or Rubio.

That is a very interesting article, Vet. It’s really quite a stark comparison between what seems just a man who is a face in the crowd and a skyrocketing superstar.

Trump is a very unusual phenomenon. I have never seen anything like this in national politics in my lifetime. I was not expecting this to happen at all.

"Well I think Gov. Walker's a nice man," Trump said, when asked why he thought Walker had fallen in Iowa. "I know it's a big tumble, but he's certainly a nice man, I respect him, I like him."

Trump gave Walker the "nice" tag.

I like Trump, but his candidacy reminds me a lot of the campaign Schwarzenegger ran in California. A lot of talk about turning the things around and tossing out the girly-men. They schooled him instead and eventually coopted him. Rush warned folks but the Golden State got the man they wanted.

Trump says all the right things, seems to have all the right enemies, and acts as if he has everything to gain and nothing to lose. A compelling combination in a candidate! But...

I want a proven foe of the Dems for President. Walker and Cruz were it for me. Walker seems to be quietly talking himself out of the job. Cruz and perhaps Kasich are about all we have left.

Overall, I think Trump proves the weakness of the GOP. We wouldn’t need a guy like him if there weren’t already two or three confident, plain-speaking, and proven candidates out there.

It’s interesting to see the coordination of Politico and Hillary in trying to demean Walker.

And interesting as well, it is done to build up Trump at Walker’s expense.

Trump likes unions. Walker fought and won against unions who were bankrupting his state and bleeding the tax payers dry.

Walker loses to Trump in the Battle of the Tailgates at Iowa State football game. Faulty speakers are partly to blame.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

These Trump fawners are reminding me of the Obama ones and it is starting to worry me.

You know the ol saying, threes a charm........may be a harbinger, good or bad.

Interesting, a Walker hit piece promoting Trump by the lefty Politico’s Katie Glueck. Whenever I see this kind of stuff comming from the left no matter who they promote I allways ask; What are they up to ?

Good thing for Trump to say. mainly because it’s probably true.
