Scott Walker Compares Donald Trump to Democrats as Trump Blows Past Him in Iowa Polls
Breitbart ^ | 1 Aug 2015 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 08/02/2015 6:16:21 PM PDT by Red Steel

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

I'm reading Trump's 2011 book, Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again.

He correctly predicted, back in 2011 things that 0bama/Dims/weak Pubbies were doing, that would all but destroy our country. He covers so many important issues, spot on...and, this was four years ago. I'm convinced Trump has the spine, the intelligence, the experience and the passioned ability to get us out of this mess. My brave Sen Cruz will be a great asset to the Trump team.

Looking forward to the debate, next week.

-—Walker tried that stupid Ivana Trump smear.

Yeah, you are saying this but I don’t believe it. If you can’t provide some kind of proof perhaps you are just bs’ing. Maybe Trump did it himself to get some more headlines.

Did Walker ever apologize for his “volunteer’s” smear?

Should have never been hired to begin with. Poor work by Walker.

Fired for appearances sake. Can you prove that Dayspring isn’t advising Walker in an unofficial capacity?

I’ve got no use for a motorcycle enthusiast who pretends to be a biker like Walker does. Having been in the saddle for 35 years, his type makes my skin crawl when they ride in somewhere.

Beware of all politicians, but especially those who use Amercan icons as stage props.

The debate is going to be Hot! I ordered the revised version of “Time To Get Tough”. I understand it has very detailed policy positions. Trump said he worked harder on this book than any of the others. Can’t wait to get it and dig in. :)

Interesting article. I don’t like Dayspring either. Recently there were leaks about Hillary that were traced to Valery Jarrett. Why can’t you provide anything more that a guy was hired? A guy who sounds desperate for a job I might add.

You’re confusing accusations.

Liz Mair of Mair Strategies was fired in March.

You know, after 5 years of investigations for illegal coordinations with PACS, do you think Walker would be stupid enough to have anybody advising him in an unofficial capacity?

I’m sorry, McCain hasn’t been a hero in 40 years. He’s a tool for the left and he doesn’t mind being used. For goodness sakes he married a giant plastic doll.
