What They Are Saying About Scott Walker at the CNN Reagan Library Debate

Washington Examiner: Walker Lands A Solid Punch On Trump: "Walker was having none of it, and at one point simply remarked, pointing at Trump, 'Just because he says it doesn't make it true.' At another point, he remarked: 'You want to talk about balanced budgets? You ran four projects into bankruptcy over and over an over again.'" (David Freddoso – September 16, 2015)

The Weekly Standard: Scott Walker Attacks Donald Trump, Likens Him To Obama: "As Jeb Bush and Donald Trump were arguing, Scott Walker interjected: '[T]his is what is wrong with the debate. We're not talking about real issues. Mr. Trump, we don't need an apprentice in the White House, we have one right now. He told us all the things we wanted to hear back in 2008. We don't know who you are, where you're going—we need someone that can actually get the job done and you've talked about business.'" (Shoshana Weissmann – September 16, 2015)

Politico: The Top Lines And Zingers From The GOP Debate: “’We don’t need an 'Apprentice' in the White House. We have one right now.’ — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, on Trump's lack of government experience.” (Daniel Lippman – September 16, 2015)
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: “With Ronald Reagan's Air Force One as the backdrop, Walker sought to echo his idol's ‘eternal optimism,’ but he also shifted to a more aggressive approach compared to his first debate appearance. Early on, he confronted the moderators saying, ‘We're not talking about real issues.’ Walker also quickly took on real estate mogul Donald Trump. ‘And Mr. Trump, we don't need an apprentice in the White House. We have one right now,’ Walker told him.” (Patrick Marley & Mary Spicuzza – September 16, 2015)

Wisconsin State Journal: “Gov. Scott Walker, who promised a more feisty approach in the second Republican presidential debate, went hard after frontrunner Donald Trump early Wednesday night, slamming his business bankruptcies and even questioning his motives. … About 15 minutes into the three-hour debate, Walker broke into the discussion with a jab that referred to Trump's former reality TV show, The Apprentice, while slamming President Barack Obama. ‘Mr. Trump, we don't need an apprentice in the White House. We have one right now,’ Walker told Trump. ‘We don’t know who you are or what you’re doing. We need someone who can actually get the job done.’… He touted his efforts as Wisconsin governor to restrict collective bargaining and defund Planned Parenthood, while emphasizing his confrontations with protesters at the Wisconsin State Capitol. ‘I would ask the American people: look at who's been tested,’ Walker said.” (Mark Sommerhauser – September 16, 2015)
