Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Sunday turned his attack on rival Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, in his soaring and often unpredictable campaign that has largely targeted frontrunners but spared essentially nobody.
“His state has not performed well,” Trump, the billionaire businessman who now leads in most polls, told ABC’s “This Week.” “We need someone who’s going to make it perform well, this country perform well. … I’m the one to do it.”
Like many political candidates, Trump is spending the early part of the election cycle trying to downgrade the early favorites -- in this case Republican Jeb Bush, a former Florida governor, and Democrat Hillary Clinton, a former secretary of state.
Still, Walker, another early favorite who remains a top-tier contender, was more than willing to block and tackle, telling ABC later in the morning that Trump sounds like a Democrat when attack his record as a two-term governor.

Trump attacks Walker. Mistates record. (Wisconsin operates on a 2 year budget; Where there might be a shortage i the 1st year, we will catch up and show a surplus in the 2nd year. That is how it works. Always.)
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
So, Trump criticizes Walker for not raising taxes, yet FReepers will swear Trump is the real conservative in this race.
Morons.
Bears repeating!!! This is like his third or fourth attack on Walker FROM THE LEFT. Did you catch that Trump drones? FROM THE LEFT. Your great conservative hero is attacking a governor...one YOU say is too centrist....FROM EVEN FURTHER LEFT.
I'm surprised how many freepers are fooled by Trump, especially those who usually see through con artists and should know better.
Tell Governor Walker he needs to stop weaseling around on immigration and ‘birthright citizenship’ and quit listening to RINO consultants like Mrs. George Will.
That would be a good start.
Sorry if Trump is eating your boy’s lunch, but like Finley Peter Dunne said, “politics ain’t beanbag”.
He attacks everyone but Democrats.
Walker is GOPe. Think Priebus, Ryan, Rove, and Romney.
The GOPe is dead set on stamping out True Conservatism. The GOPe HATES, absolutely HATES, Tea Party, Constitutional, and Evangelical Conservatives. The GOPe is more alligned with Hillary than with conservatism.
So, if Donald Trump is willing to stick it to GOPe’ers, I say full speed ahead.
This is where I'm at thousands of feet higher than you, circling in a realm you cannot understand. I am not a Walker guy....he's on my list...but not "my guy." In fact, I do not excuse or support his struggles on birthright citizenship. In fact, why didn't Trump go there?
I know this is way way way above your head, but I criticized Trump for attacking Walker FROM THE LEFT.....NOT NOT NOT FOR ATTACKING WALKER PERIOD.
Politics ain't beanbag aint got anything to do with it. Your boy is a long time knee jerk reflexive liberal, and he proves it almost every day. Trump using union goon thug talking points is not going to get any conservative elected.
Call him Donald Trumpka. Also, great minds focus on ideas...like the idea that attacking any Republican from the LEFT is stupid....tiny minds are fan bois focused on people. Like you.
Only in his dreams is Walker a top tier national candidate.
See my post #8.
As for attacking from the left, the right, or up the middle, as long as the attack is being made, that is what counts, and Trump’s attack certainly got everyone’s attention didn’t it?
Trump attacks Rick Perry, Perry stopped paying his staff, will be dropping out anytime now.
Trump attacks Rand Paul, his numbers are plummeting.
Trump attacks Lindsey Graham, his numbers stayed the same, at ‘zero’. (LOL)
Hey, enjoy the air ‘way up there thousands of feet’ CEW, it’s a long way down, and have a nice day. :)
So, Hillary is not a Democrat?
Really? Have they actually endorsed him for President? Or is this an example like when the Perrybots pretended that "Sarah Palin supports him" for President in 2012, merely because she preferred him over a socialist Democrat running for Texas Governor in 2010?
Anything to bring down the GOPe is worth it. Politics ain’t bean bag.
Senator Jeff Sessions embraced Trump at that huge rally in Mobile Alabama with 20,000 people (maybe you missed that), Senator Ted Cruz has had nothing but good things to say about Trump and has refused to jump on the ‘bash Trump’ bandwagon like the RINO-GOPe is encouraging, and Sarah Palin said “Thank God Trump is running!” which is as close to an endorsement as one can get in this PRE-primary season.
Work on that case of premature exasperation there BillyBoy, it’s a long way to Iowa and New Hampshire.
Not completely true. He is attacking fellow Republicans because that is his competition today. Hillary or her replacement will get his attention once it is time for the national election. Walker is a walking disaster, maybe good on state level, but sure a loser on national level. And all this BS about who is more conservative is just that, BS. Everyone one of them has flaws from each of our perspectives. Which one can win is the real challenge. So far, the only one that can win is Trump.
I like Trump's 'where's the beef comment', who would we like representing the US with Iran, Russia, etc. Of all of the candidates in both parties, the only answer is Trump. He knows how to win and has a record of success. Everyone else seems to PC-concerned to accomplish anything.
It's not about being bean bag - what a childish and profoundly stupid argument. It's about being a DAMNED LIBERAL!!!! I thought that's what you hated about the GOPe? It's what I hate about them. I don't think going TO THE LEFT of them is really the prescription. Bean bag. Sheesh. Grow up. Think, and quit feeling so much.
Trump supporters need to make sure he tells the truth and save his vaunted "integrity," especially now that he's proclaimed that contributing to his campaign is a "moral investment," while everyone else is "bought and paid for."
