how do these other candidates prepare for trump and what is trump hoping to accomplish on thursday? i think each of them has to have a strategy. i think jeb bush or scott walker hoping that one of the other guys takes him on in a full frontal way and see if they get under donald trump s skin undermine the points. but, you know, i don t think it s a collective response. i think ideally for republicans, donald trump will show himself to be less appealing to republican voters than been so far. john, we heard from the jeb camp over the weekend that they love donald trump staying in the news because it allows them they say to not have to deal with the rise of a challenger like a scott walker or perhaps marco rubio going to challenge from the right. now, there s another side the walker people say, look donald trump is good for us showing that there s an angry conservative part of our primary electorate that we are in much better position to take than jeb bush is. who do you think he bene
and every single one battling for an edge. peter doocy as a closer look from washington. governor scott walker will be one of the last republicans to make his presidential ambitions official. he was the first one to have his big announcement nearly blown by his own social media account. what the message displaying a fancy new logo and text reading scott is in are you? twitter says the walker camp did not jump the gun, explaining to us late last night. we re looking into today s issue and we ve determined the walker team was not at fault. in las vegas this afternoon, donald trump who has already made an official announcement and leads the republican pack in some polls now was joined once again by the father of a young man who was killed by a person who entered the united states illegally. to help him try to make the point that immigrants who come into this country and commit violent crimes have a horrible
