Brendan Bordelon has a piece up on the home page on Scott Walker taking a pass on commenting on Trump on grounds that he doesn’t want to discuss other candidates, which strikes me as entirely reasonable.

The conventional wisdom demands that Republicans devote themselves to denouncing Trump, but candidates are foolish to do this unless it serves some other purpose.

Jeb has criticized him repeatedly, even after he said he was done with it. I don’t know why he really needs to get drawn into a war of words with Trump, but at least this accords with Jeb’s orientation toward the general election and emphasis on winning more Latino voters.

Rick Perry has been arguing with Trump, too. This probably makes sense, given that the former Texas governor is on the verge of inclusion in the first debate and needs all the oxygen he can get, as Allahpundit points out.

Finally, there is the other side of the ledger. Ted Cruz has made himself the foremost Trump ally in the field, a completely blatant play for the Trump voters that Cruz needs to inherit if he is going to have any hope of consolidating the right.

All of this is to say, if Walker doesn’t have some angle on Trump, he’s best served by keeping his counsel.
