Trump takes aim at @ScottWalker's leadership: "Wisconsin is doing terribly"
I was driving home a bit ago and tuned into a Scott Walker radio interview in which this was being discussed (I missed the beginning and end of the interview). Anyway Walker was being asked about the Donald's smackdown of Wisconsin and his "leadership" Walker dived into his talking points about his being re-elected 3 times in a Blue state how our schools and hosipitals have improved-how property taxes have Decreased ....bla bla Bla. Then the host challenged him on his low approval and walker went on to say something about the only day that counts is election day and how great his state was doing under his "leadship" and went into his talking points again (repeat of above). Also the host mention Huckabee and his viral comment about how the Iran deal would sent the Israelis to the oven.
The host asked Walker if he would condemn those comments and Walker would not!!

..........."Wisconsin is doing terribly," Trump said. The tycoon, who is leading the Republican pack of 16 in several national polls, said Wisconsin had seen budget deficits and high borrowing which led to poor infrastructure under Walker. "The hospitals and education is a disaster."
Trump also pointed out that Walker, who has repeatedly visited neighboring Iowa and was the first choice of 22 percent of likely Republican caucus-goers there in a recent poll, had supported the Common Core education standards that much of the GOP base now derides. Trump received support from 13 percent of people in the poll, putting him in second place.
The attacks, which focused on the record of a strong rival, contrasted with Trump's personal attacks on a past candidate and a low-polling candidate, respectively, in the past week. He told an Iowa audience on July 18 that Arizona Senator John McCain, a former prisoner of war who was the Republican presidential nominee in 2008 and who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, was a war hero only because he had been captured. On July 21, he gave out the personal phone number of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who attacked Trump over the McCain comments and statements on immigration, but who hardly registers in polls.
Trump said that he had been holding back on Walker, whom he called "a nice guy," until he read that an ally of the governor had insulted the businessman. A Walker fundraiser had called Trump "DumbDumb" in an event invitation, according to the Wall Street Journal..........................
