Trump takes aim at Walker in Iowa

[brooklynite]

Donald Trump has spent much of the early days of his presidential campaign taking on Jeb Bush.

But in Iowa on Saturday, the real estate mogul took shots at Scott Walker, who's long stood atop polls in the Hawkeye State, home to the critical first-in-the-nation caucuses.

Trump -- who is in second place in Iowa polls behind Walker -- slammed the Wisconsin governor's leadership.

"Wisconsin is doing terribly. It's in turmoil," Trump said at Oskaloosa High School in Oskaloosa. "The roads are a disaster because they don't have money to rebuild them."

He also accused Walker's administration of borrowing due to a budget deficit, and painted him as a supporter of Common Core education standards, which are opposed by much of the Republican base.

1. Go Clown Car! nt

[villager]

2. Raise the ante, Donald! Call him "beady-eyed!"

[Greybnk48]

10. Beads have a shine to them. He's got dead-eyes

like a shark (sorry sharks), and as an added bonus, they're slightly crossed.

[roamer65]

3. Go tRump!!!

This is an utter nightmare for the Rethuglicans. I am loving every minute of it. tRump is playing the populist card on them.

[House of Roberts]

4. That's it for the Thom Hartmann theory.

Trump isn't in with the Kochs to get Walker elected.

[hlthe2b]

5. Now this is one Trump-delivered attack I can get behind!

Knock that slimy little creep out of the race and expose all of his Koch-delivered failures.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

6. If Scott Walker can guess Trumplestilskin's real name he'll stop spinning straw into hair

and bow out.

[vlyons]

7. Trump is saying, "The emperor has no clothes!"

Of course, we've known all along that republicans are just empty suits with no ideas, no policies that work, and devastation to everything they touch. haha You go Donald! Call out the hypocrites.

[katmondoo]

8. Finally I was hoping and waiting for the Donald to go after this clown

[Shrike47]

9. Cummon, tRump! I think Walker has never held a non-government 'real job." Fodder to work with.

Pukes kept saying that about Obama (untrue; do they really think practicing law isn't working?) as a slam, so get with it on Walker.

[Plucketeer]

11. This is GREAT!

Who'll be the next clown to feel the wrath of tRump's Billy Club???

[BlueStater]

12. LOL.

Trump is a buffoon but if he's going to go after a weasel like Walker, I'm certainly not going to complain. Go, Donald, go!

[cosmicone]

13. I'm so supporting Donald Trump

(in the Repuke primaries only)

This guy is single-handedly totaling the clown-mobile, kicking one clown out after another before driving it off the cliff.

[Sunlei]

24. I also may give Mr. Trump my primary vote. I would be disappointed in Donald Trump if he quit.

He shows total Leadership ability over all the other Republican contenders.

Trump still seems to go to easy on Bush & Walker, #2 and #3 in many polls republicans respect.
He could just be carrying water for them.

[Still In Wisconsin]

14. Can't disagree with much that The Donald is saying here- just one minor point

Walker now publicly opposes common core (he was for it before he was against it) but tRump is spot-on with everything else. This state is an economic train wreck and The Donald would know one when he sees one!

[OhWiseOne]

15. Trump will put Hillary in office

[tavernier]

16. Loving it'

Didn't see Hillary on the bottom at first, and then I cracked up!!

[Cha]

17. Helping the Dems call out Walker's abysmal everything! Gotrump.

[Sunlei]

25. "Trump Kicks Them In The Rump"

[roamer65]

18. tRump is turning the Rethuglican race in to a political demolition derby.

I hope he has all the staying power of a 1969 Pontiac Catalina station wagon.

Go tRump.



To quote Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka, "The suspense is killing me...".

[ChairmanAgnostic]

28. Yup.

I'll even offer to fill his tank for the next session.

[Marie Marie]

19. Donald Trump

The gift that keeps on giving - to the Democrats.

[bluestateguy]

20. hm

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

21. Curious how Thom Hartmann analyzes this

A hole in his pet theory?

Or is this merely a little playacting from Trump?

[Sunlei]

22. "The Donald" steamrolls over those corrupt, incompetent Republicans like Walker.

I wish Mr. Trump would stop going so easy on Walker.

[JoFerret]

23. Liked the stopped clock

Trump nails it twice a day.

[alcibiades_mystery]

26. Trump thinks he's actually going to win

This is possibly the best development in US politics since Obama started trending upwards in polls in late 2007.

Trump os a moron, who will lose badly, but his BELIEF that he will win is fantastic.

[question everything]

27. And... does Walker says that he "liked" Donald Trump?

that he "respects" him?

Can't wait for Ted Cruz to be in the cross hair.

[sadoldgirl]

29. Since Trump's attacks are just

democratic talking points it will not hurt
him in the least. I think that this is a very
minor attack, but then he has to make most
repugs look bad, so that in the end they will
look like very moderate sweethearts, who
care about the people.

It might just work, I am afraid to say.
