A Top Walker Fundraiser Meets With Trump

[Timber Rattler]

Beginning of the end for Walker.

[Catsrus]

I don’t trust this at all. It could be a Trojan Horse - I think Trump needs to be very careful.

[stephenjohnbanker]

It probably is. Trump won’t fall for it.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Walker is in trouble. He is running a very flaccid, by-the-numbers campaign. There is no sense of urgency or passion.

Now I live in WI and Walker has done some amazing things here. No disrespect intended, but Walker is out of his league here. In these turbulent times, we need someone with fire and brimstone. Walker had that fire in 2011. He does not have it today.

[Awgie]

Tony Scaramuchi and The Donald should get along just fine.

[SaraJohnson]

Don’t take his money or his advice, Mr. Trump. He’s one of uniparty.

[RoosterRedux]

Trump has dealt in mob-town forever. Walker is not even a player.

Trump has antennae for all kinds of bullshiite.

[RoosterRedux]

Sara...

Trump is 10 steps ahead of all the other candidates.

Like a shark, he can smell blood a mile away.

Walker couldn't mess with Trump if his life depended on it.

[Wayne07]

I really like Walker, but flaccid is a perfect description of his campaign. What happened to the guy who was a fighter in WI? It reminds of how guys got over coached and over rehearsed them choke in the presidential race (e.g., Kemp, Perry, Ryan)

[stephenjohnbanker]

I’m sure Trump knows.

Top Walker fund raiser meets with Trump with eye to working for him.

FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

Trump is not easily fooled. He recognizes BS because, at one time, he's probably said it, himself.

[ballearthout]

You know, you might be right. But then again, “keep your friends close and your enemies closer” also applies to Trump. Trump is smart enough to figure something like that out, and might want to keep an eye on a GOPe mole. Anything is possible in the internecine war going on in the Republican camp right now.

[hoosiermama]

One by one they start to fall. Like the kings of old they come on their knees to the stronger potentate

[RoosterRedux]

And Trump is smart enough not to be fooled by their false promises.

[Hildy]

And he just gave the basketball team a new stadium which should completely piss you off.

[Black Agnes]

Not sure I’m happy about this. But it does seem like there is an inevitability.

[toddausauras]

I like Walker too. I think he got hit with the high expectations game. I think you’ll agree we expected a much better “performance” than we are getting. Again, what’s hurting everyone is the contrast to Trump. America is looking for a human shark this time.
