Trump summarized it precisely.

Quote:
The Republican presidential candidate criticized Walker's handling of the Wisconsin budget, saying the state is "doing terribly" and "in turmoil."

"The roads are a disaster because they don't have any money to rebuild them. They're borrowing money like crazy," Trump said. "They projected a one billion dollar surplus and it turns out to be a deficit of 2.2 billion dollars. And money all over the place."

Trump's figures -- which are accurate -- also led him to charge that when it comes to the interest accrued on those debts, Wisconsin "borrowed so much money that a big portion of their budget now is paying for it." What Walker was doing with the financial pitfalls in Wisconsin, Trump said, was "kicking it down the road."
Quote:
The real estate mogul also attacked that the state of Wisconsin schools, calling them a "disaster" and saying that "they're fighting like crazy because there's no money for the schools." He additionally accused Walker of flip-flopping on his disapproval of Common Core education standards "when he saw he was getting creamed."

Who cares what Wisconsin thinks? In the RCP polls Walker lags Trump by 2 percentage points and leads all other serious candidates.

Are you supporting the repeal of Walker's tax cuts in order to get the state's finances under control?

It's good to see Trump not calling people names and instead focusing on their lousy records and bankrupt ideas.

Indeed. It seems that the other candidates are dumbing down to name calling, "dumbdumb," "jackass," "crazies," etc....


Whereas Trump discusses their accomplishments, or lack thereof.

I swear, Walker and Christie, everyone in their home states hates their guts. None of those residents wish their destruction on the rest of the country.
