Actually one of the first things that made me realize that Democrats shouldn't attack Trump that he's a feature not a bug-and them some-was his hilarious attacks on Scott Walker.

Walker has mostly tried to avoid mixing it up with Trump. This may be just as well as the record of GOP candidates going after Trump is not that great at this point.

Rand Paul has been hammering Trump since last week's debate. It's understandable in a sense as Rand had a forgettable night. As Howie Carr says:
"Christie and Rand Paul went at it, two losers with a combined 4 percent in the polls at each other’s throats. Like what is said about academic battles — the tinier the pond, the more vicious the fish."
"Only a few dared launch haymakers at Trump. Rand Paul, for one — he was shocked, shocked that the Donald wouldn’t promise not to run third-party next year. Does anyone recall what ticket Rand’s dad ran for president on back in 1988? (Hint: It wasn’t the Republican party.)"

I wonder if this means that Howie and many of his listeners would vote for Trump in a third party run.
Rand's campaign is a flop. But Walker is following him down the same rabbit hole of attacking Trump. Hmm. We'll have to see if it works better for him. Walker is in the same boat as he too has fallen in the polls post debate. He led in Iowa now he's been surpassed by The Donald.
"As his lead slipped in Iowa after the first Republican debate, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker did something new Tuesday: he swung directly at Donald Trump."
"Walker accused Trump of using Democratic talking points and tied him to Hillary Clinton -- a sharp turn from his previous strategy of ignoring the Republican front-runner."
"Donald Trump's just using the same old tired talking points of the Democrats and they didn't work in the past and they're certainly not going to work in Iowa," Walker told Fox News Tuesday.

Yes Democratic talking points that his state is doing poorly. About that:
"Just a few months before announcing his bid for president, at his State of the State address in Madison, Walker told lawmakers that “Wisconsin is more free and prosperous” after his first four years in office, and assured them, “The Wisconsin Comeback is working.”
"But several studies have shown that the governor’s economic agenda — slashing property and corporate taxes, restricting collective bargaining and keeping wages low — has left the state in a precarious position. Data from the Pew Charitable Trusts predicts that Wisconsin will end this fiscal year with less money in reserve than any other state in the country. Walker’s 2011 tax cuts, which largely benefited wealthy landowners and factory owners, will cost the state at least $275 million in additional lost tax revenue over the next two years — twice as much as originally predicted."
"To close the gaping budget deficit exacerbated by those tax cuts, Walker is cutting funding for the state’s famed public universities by $250 million over the next two years. These impending cuts, which are already prompting schools to force out professors and cut entire programs, comes as the campuses are still struggling to absorb the cuts Walker approved in 2011. Faculty members also lost their right to tenure in the budget Governor Walker signed one day before launching his bid for president."
"Wisconsin currently leads the nation in unemployment for African Americans. And Walker hasfailed to deliver on his promise to create 250,000 private sector jobs during his first term in the state. His most recent budget eliminated hundreds of government jobs, especially targeting scientists at the Department of Natural resources."
"Amid these cuts, Governor Walker increased spending on prisons — in keeping with his decades-long record of supporting “tough on crime” policies to give offenders longer and harsher sentences. Now, the state spends more money on prisons than it does on public universities."

So a day after Walker says there's no reason to discuss racial issues as it's divisive, we see that Wisconsin has the highest African-American unemployment rate in the nation. Clearly just not discussing the problem is the answer.
The irony is that Trump's rhetoric may be wild but his policies are better than Walker's. Walker has the worst policies for women in the country where he believes that there must be no abortion exceptions even in life of the mother.
