“Total state debt is 45-billion dollars…very high, one of the higher ones. Twenty-thousand fewer people in labor force than seven years ago,” even though population has grown, Trump stated as he read aloud statistics about Wisconsin.
Trump noted he was unsure if these statistics were accurate, but went on to say, “He’s not doing a great job.”
“He doesn’t look like a motorcycle guy to me,” Trump mocked of Walker, who rides motorcycles.
Trump continued, “Unemployment rate, they have down 20 percent. That can’t be possible?”
“800,000 food stamp recipients,” Trump listed, “Middle class hit very, very hard due to loss of manufacturing jobs.”
“Wisconsin has lost 15,000 jobs to Mexico since NAFTA,” Trump charged about the North American Free Trade Agreement. “Kasich…he voted for NAFTA.”
“Both of them want TPP,” Trump said, referencing Kasich and Walker, who both support President Obama’s Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal. “That will make NAFTA look like a baby.”
“He’s a nice man,” Trump added about Walker, but then noted, “I gave him a lot of money” when he was fighting to be elected in Wisconsin.
He said Walker later visited Trump and gave him a plaque, “so, I’ll bring it,” Trump told the crowd. He noted that he is spending the week campaigning in Wisconsin, so he’ll bring the plaque when he returns.

Bad sign.
When a Trump crowd, in Wisconsin of all places, boos Scott Walker, it’s a bad crowd.
The only thing about Scott Walker is that he’s the best governor the state has ever had....unless you’re a government worker.
“How do you like Paul Ryan?” Trump asked the audience, who booed in response.
Trump appearing surprised, said, “Wow, I was told be nice to Paul Ryan.”
Towards the end of the town hall, Trump took questions from the audience, but one was a declaration of appreciation rather than a question.
(good article)
“The only thing about Scott Walker is that he’s the best governor the state has ever had”
And the unemployment rate is 20%?
Not bad. Nice crowd.
...
Washington Post’s Dave Weigel noted that at least 4,000 people were in line to get into the venue to hear Trump speak, but it only held about 1,000 people.
“’I’m doing this all for them,” Trump said about his campaign, referencing his grandchildren. “It’s a message of competence.”

We have become so desperate to get rid of the Dims (and I don’t blame us), that we elect moron “conservatives”. THAT will backfire. But with this crop of POTUS candidates I don’t see us learning that lesson.
Intelligent crowd.
Oh my.
Scott Walker is a popular governor among Republicans in Wisconsin. Not a good move on Trump’s part.
Yes.. My sister is a government worker..hates him. Although she doesn’t like any Republicans

“We have become so desperate to get rid of the Dims (and I don’t blame us), that we elect moron “conservatives””
I never met a true conservative who was a moron. I’ve met a few that wouldn’t scare Mensa, but not a dumb one. Can you name one that we elected?
“And the unemployment rate is 20%?”
Wisconsin has a 4.6% unemployment rate, which is under the national average. Trump’s pulling numbers out of his a**.
I actually I like Walker but I thought he wilted in front of bright lights
Has my Trumpwhore status been diluted in the judgement of Cruz Stasi by my being reasonable to Scotty?
I can amp it up a hair
Where, pray tell, from what source do you get your unemployment figures for Wisconsin? From the Democrat sewers?
The figures for 2016 are:
4.9 (Federal bogus published national figure)
4.6 (Federally published figure for Wisconsin)
The only thing Trump forgot to do was tweet unflattering pictures of Tonette Walker. What a moron, picking fights with people he has no reason to.
Thus spake Durbin
Always looking for ol Donnie eh Derby?
God love you I’m genuinely moved by your concern for Trumps campaign well being
It’s kinda hard to miss Trump’s campaign on FR these days. In case you didn’t notice.
