Follow the money.

Looks like Biggie Wall St Hedge Fund money guy is looking to jump the sinking [early favorite] Walker ship.
Anthony Scaramucci's first bet looks wrong, and now he (and friends) may want onto the SS Trump hoping he will Maintain the Incredible Tax Break they get.
A 15% rate no matter what they make.
and the top 25 average about $1 Billion PER Year Each and get that pfd rate.
Trump isn't biting.
In fact, he's still attacking the planet's biggest Bribers tonight in Boston... as I post.

One of Scott Walker’s top fundraisers met with Donald Trump on Monday and discussed the possibility of leaving the Wisconsin governor’s camp to work for the GOP presidential front-runner’s campaign, the fundraiser and Mr. Trump said.

Anthony Scaramucci, a national finance co-chairman for Mr. Walker’s campaign, said in a phone interview that the two discussed the possibility of his defecting to Mr. Trump but that he told the businessman it wasn’t possible.

“He wants to drop Walker and go with me,” Mr. Trump said in a phone interview. “He wants to endorse me. He said, ‘I want to drop Walker and endorse you.’ ”

The meeting between Mr. Trump and Mr. Scaramucci, managing partner of New York-based investment firm SkyBridge Capital, came after the celebrity businessman attacked hedge-fund operators, saying Sunday that they are “getting away with murder.” Each man said the other requested the meeting.

Mr. Scaramucci said that in the meeting, at the Trump Tower in New York, he asked Mr. Trump to stop his rhetorical attacks against hedge funds.

“What I said to him again today is that I love him as a guy, but I’m loyal to Scott Walker,” Mr. Scaramucci said. “That does not detract from my friendship with him, but can he please stop railing on the hedge-fund industry?”

Mr. Trump said he didn’t agree to do that and won’t ease off the industry. “Politics is a dirty and disgusting business and we’re going to clean it up,” he said.

A Walker spokeswoman said: “Gov. Walker is focused on proposing substantive solutions, like his health-care plan last week, to improve the lives of all Americans.”

In an interview Sunday on CBS, Mr. Trump said “the hedge-fund guys didn’t build this country. These are guys that shift paper around and they get lucky.”
