Battle of the scandal-plagued GOP titans: Behind the Walker-Christie feud


The Wisconsin governor is miffed he’s not getting more cash from the group Christie heads. But who’s sliming who?

.....Whatever their merits, Walker’s claims about Christie are finding a ready audience on the far right, which already hates Christie for not being conservative enough. Many believe he sabotaged Mitt Romney in 2012 by embracing Obama during Hurricane Sandy, in order to further his 2016 ambitions. It’s easy for them to believe he’d do the same to Walker.

Radio host Mark Levin has taken up Walker’s cause, insisting “Christie wants Walker taken down,” and accusing Christie of “sabotaging” his rival from Wisconsin. The folks at Breitbart worry that the New Jersey governor has it in for Walker because “Walker is probably more significant to the Republican Party, both as a symbol of resistance to Democrat corruption in Wisconsin…and as a possible presidential contender.” The wailing on the right may have helped grease a $650,000 donation by Sheldon Adelson to the Wisconsin Republican Party announced yesterday.

Late Monday Walker tried to walk back his nasty remarks about Christie’s visit and welcome his “good friend” to Wisconsin. Democrats in Wisconsin are enjoying the scene. The same day as Christie’s visit, President Obama is campaigning for Mary Burke. Obama was supposed to be the more controversial campaign surrogate, but now all eyes are on Christie and Walker, and Mary Burke just smiles.......

1. Christie thinks that he may still be the GOP 2016 gop nominee

I really hope that Walker loses because Walker could be a viable 2016 candidate given the weak field

2. Walker is trying to set up a plausible reason as to why he is no longer employed by Wisconsin.

He still has deep seated delusions about a presidential run.
