Gov. Walker shouts down protesters at Iowa State Fair

“Unintimidated, I am not intimidated by you sir or anyone else out there, I will fight for the American people over and over and over again”, Walker told a heckler in the front row.

Clinton’s tour of the fairgrounds was a spectacle, but Trump’s raucous, roving mosh pit – featuring helicopter fly-overs – was on an entirely different level. Trump arrived at the fair aboard his $7-million helicopter where he let Iowa kids ride for fun. ‘This is the real deal, right?’ Trump said.

Beck said Walker could’ve been “weasely” and tiptoed around the issue, but he had a clear answer when Beck asked: “Will you go so far as saying that there are people in the GOP that are part of the establishment, like Mitch McConnell, that are part of the problem?”

“I got pushed into a disabled woman”, Desmond said in an interview with CNN.

“I think at some point that’s ultimately going to happen”. And if these kinds of issues can be addressed in Wisconsin, they can be fixed in Washington, D.C., he said.

The protesters also refused to back down, trailing Walker as he took questions from reporters and following him as he walked out into the fair.

It’s also hard to know from these polls how candidates like Trump and Walker are actually trending since the August 6 debate, because it’s the first time that either CNN/ORC or Suffolk/USA Today has polled in Iowa this year.

Walker, who said he will release a blueprint for his healthcare reform proposal Tuesday, told the crowd he will be ramping up his efforts in Iowa.

Here are five takeaways from the Hawkeye State’s summer draw, less than six months before voters will head to Iowa’s caucuses. Unlike Jeb Bush, who wore trying-hard-to-fit-in khakis under a red apron as he flipped pork chops on a grill, Trump waded into the fair sporting a navy blazer, cream-colored slacks, a starched french-cuff shirt, and tidy white dress shoes.

Look, if unions want to sent people to disrupt a Scott Walker speech, they should have learned by now that this is not a one-person job.

Donald Trump made a suitably splashy entrance to the Iowa State Fair.

“The inspector general isn’t partisan, neither one of the them”.

But once up in the sky, William decided to capture his entire exchange with Donald Trump on a GoPro camera, which later appeared on YouTube.

On the Democratic side, Bernie Sanders – the Vermont senator who has generated enthusiasm on the populist left and set tongues wagging when he placed ahead of Mrs Clinton in a recent New Hampshire poll – regularly condemns what he views as the undue influence of the “billionaire class” on US politics.

“Mr. Trump”, he said, aiming the camera at his benefactor.

“I am Batman“, he responded, winning his first vote for the 2028 presidential election.

If you ask fans, the only Batman is Michael Keaton, a statement to which he subscribes.

But what most appeals to one undecided voter in the crowd is the way Sanders has financed his campaign: without the big-money donors. It felt just like a video game.
