Walker banks on Iowa to regain momentum
ONAWA, Iowa — Scott Walker’s suggestion that building a wall between Canada and the U.S. might be a “legitimate” idea prompted swift derision from fellow Republicans on Monday and an attempt by his campaign to clarify what he meant.
It was the latest misstep for a 2016 presidential candidate who got off to a strong start but has fallen back into the pack after a series of fumbles and a lackluster performance in the first GOP debate.
The Wisconsin governor was asked on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday whether he thought a wall should be built along the more than 5,000 miles of border with Canada.
“Some people have asked us about that in New Hampshire,” he said.
