"..........Trump clearly said in 2009 he identified more as a Democrat on the economic crash--and he doubled down on the sentiment this weekend.
There’s more. He took the liberal union thug talking points book and aimed many of those same arguments right at Scott Walker, saying that “Wisconsin is in turmoil.” He went on to clarify, telling a boisterous crowd in Iowa that the state’s “roads, schools and hospitals, which he said were all a disaster.” Let me translate: Scott Walker screwed up Wisconsin by going after the unions.
So is Trump working for Richard Trumka or the SEIU now? I mean, this is right out of the union hall. It’s going after Walker from the left. So Trump was angry for some comments made by a Walker fundraiser? That’s no excuse for firing from the liberal flank, and frankly, a bit childish too. But my main concern is the liberalism thing, which has been exposed again.
So how will this play out? Will Trump’s legion of fans take note? Will talkers like Rush and Laura Ingraham mention this? They seem singularly focused on just Trumps good points. That’s a valid, but incomplete focus. It is not contradictory to support and enjoy his stabs at Washington -- while also realizing in the sober moment that he is not the conservative answer.
Donald Trump is gifted. He is passionate. He has a finger on the pulse at the moment. It’s doubtful that conservatives need to nominate someone who has been pro Obama and pro Universal Care as recently as a few years ago--and to the left of George W. Bush this weekend."
He said nice things about Huckabee. He’s run a perfect campaign in my eyes, but I think going after Walker, a truly gutsy and effective leader, was wrong. Lost points on that one.
If Walker loses in Iowa by even 1 point, he is finished. He is not running well in any other early primaries.
