A fundraiser for Scott Walkers presidential campaign called Donald Trump DumbDumb in a fundraising invitation and said electing the New York developer would be a total and complete disaster for the country.
As youve seen Gov Walker is now well ahead of everyone not named DumbDumb (aka Trump) in the national polls, wrote Walker fundraiser Gregory Slayton, a New Hampshire venture capitalist who served as consul general to Bermuda during the George W. Bush administration.....
[SNIP]
Mr. Slayton added: To elect someone who alienates his friends, the guy would be a total and complete disaster for the country and I think everybody admits that.
Mr. Slaytons characterization of Mr. Trump as DumbDumb comes after his candidate has spent recent weeks carefully avoiding criticizing the New York developers incendiary language about Mexican immigrants. The Wisconsin governor did denounce Mr. Trumps suggestion that Sen. John McCain, who served five years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam, was not a war hero.
Mr. Trumps campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, predicted Mr. Walker will not stand for his supporters questioning Mr. Trumps intellect.
Gov. Walker is a good guy and he would not condone such type of negative thinking about the leading presidential candidate in the GOP field, Mr. Lewandowski said. Im sure he will quickly denounce Mr. Slayton and his rhetoric.
The Walker campaign didnt comment on Mr. Slaytons remarks.

What is this guy, five years old?
a New Hampshire venture capitalist
Now I understand.
Six months from now people will vote in the early states. Right now a declared Republican candidate has Americans in large numbers cheering for him.
If Cruz is on my ballot next June he gets my vote.
Today Trump is setting the agenda in a way nobody else seems able to. Trump is making tactical gains for our side every day. Until it is voting day, tell everybody Trump is The One.
Vote your conscience next year.
UGH OH... Walker is out of the closet... He’s a statist..
in a masquerade... as a serious conservative..
Else; he would keep quiet about the Trump dog and pony show..
BUT NO..... he HAD to come out and reveal himself..
Sorry Scott... I noticed.. you’re playing games..
And I’m not amused.. you’re outted..
The title General Council is assigned by the State Department to those officials who are to act as a representative of the US like a Ambassador to areas which are in territories (Bermuda) of another country (the UK) that have sizeable American commercial interests. BTW Alexander Hamilton was I believe born there.
As far as Trump is concerned there is much talk about excluding him from any debate. Big Mistake if Walker agrees to this because if anything it would appear shares “the cartel’s” fear of the conservative base.
When a guy is leading your guy 2 to 1 or more in the polls, it’s not a real great idea to call him dumb.
What’s that make the guy that couldn’t out poll the dumb person?
Walker didn’t make those snarky remarks but someone working for him made them in his name. I think Trump fired a warning shot over Scotty’s bow
The Republican Party is self-destructing right before our very eyes.
Should Trump drop out/be eliminated, how many Trump supporters does this clown think Walker will pick up now?
This article will not do Walker a damn bit of good - why bother posting it?
Well it’s a fundraiser guy, and it’s not even worth Trump’s commenting on it. Walker can associate with whomever he wants. If his followers insist on tearing down the one candidate driving the agenda toward Conservative issues, that’s not going to help him any.
I’ll stick with following the lead of Cruz.
Top Scott Walker Fundraiser Calls Donald Trump DumbDumb
Couple more comments like this and Trump will have about a 60% rating among Independents and Conservative voters.
what are they thinking?
This just proves how out of touch these guys are... they think we are a sliver of the electorate. We are, in fact, Conservatives, Independents, Perotistas,
and ... drum roll... disaffected Democrats. My family is filled with Clinton hating Dems... They like Bernie Sanders because he wants tariffs [sound like anybody else?]
they like Bernie Sanders because he’s against the big banks... [do I hear an echo?]
they like Bernie Sanders because he hates Wall ST and off shoring.. [again, these are cross over voters who will vote Trump when Sanders is defeated]
He will run third party if the Republican party won’t allow him to represent it.
Hard to believe they would accept the McCain of the McCain/Kennedy immigration bill, but they did.
Now Trump is a problem for them?
LOL
Exactly right, lol.
Beware of Trump. He donated money to Hillary Clinton and backed many of her policy positions. He also was once for amnesty.
However, I do oppose any moves by the RNC to exclude Trump, Cruz, or Walker from any debates.
Thanks for your responses Mr. Apple. You’re a peach. LOL
The politicians are usually the ones out of touch. not the voters.
“incendiary language about Mexican immigrants”
Trump “comments” were modified and lied about repeatedly, how does that make them “incendiary”?
I get so tired of cheap subjective inaccurate reporting.
Either the reporter is corrupt or too lazy to get it right. At this point, my default assumption is corrupt.
