This is why I'm not sure that Trump is the best diplomat for the most important office on earth. Walker is already starting to slowly fade away, and Trump is wasting time on unneeded attacks. Giving Walker the attention and opportunity to find a comeback is simply foolish. Trump knows how to defeat economic opponents, and how to deal deal with the attack dog media, but he does not know how to be a diplomat. We don't actually need a President who is in attack-and-defend mode 24-7. Many things take tact, a delicate hand, and a patient and measured response. I'm not sure that Trump has that in his toolbox.

(Yes, he is by far the most eager and willing candidate to "get things done", and there is a LOT to be undone after the Marxist Mullah leaves office... and with a weak Congress, he is the most likely to succeed at making fast and huge changes... and hopefully they will be the changes that we want and need... but that is not what our Founders wanted, nor what they built. "Things" were supposed to get done slowly, with great deliberation, and without knee-jerk emotionalism.)

Agreed. Trump is likely to cement in place Commander Xero's disrespect for the Constitutional separation of powers.

“Walker is already starting to slowly fade away ...” as is Perry, Christy, Fiorina, and others. This is Trump’s function - pound, lie and so on about the other candidates until he get’s the nomination, then lose in the general. The Hillary fix may be in.

Agreed. This is where Trump has to now demonstrate he can pick up on stuff like this and make cogent arguments. He could have easily just said that Walker doesn’t understand where he stands on immigration and blasted him that way.

The fact a “businessman” like Trump isn’t aware of how well a conservative like Walker has done fixing massive fiscal problems doesn’t speak well of Trump. Wisconsin had a higher debt per capita than California before Walker took over. Unlike Jerry Brown, Walker balanced the budget by cutting government spending and actually lowering taxes.

It was an amazing feat that no one else in the US has done to my knowledge.

Trump kinda reminds me of Obama somewhat. He wants what he wants everybody be damned. He might try executive orders or memo’s to try to get his way, he is used to getting his way, he will not play nice with our representatives. We don’t need another unconstitutional dictator.
