Walker has to be the most classless, backstabbing, childish of all the Republican primary contestants.
As President Obama arrived in Wisconsin on Thursday, Gov. Scott Walker warmly welcomed him with applause, a friendly smile and some laughing banter. Don't be fooled. These two are not as chummy as they briefly appeared.
Walker spent the rest of the day essentially trolling the president on social media. First, he published a column critical of the "presidents big-government policies," and then fired off a series of anti-Obama tweets...

Here are a couple of examples of Walker's barrage of immature, dickish, trashy tweets. He's desperate for attention.

Tweets are worth a look. I found them stunning. Walker is kind of strange:
