Ex-GOP lawmaker Joe Walsh says Trump 'needs' a primary challenge
The Hill ^ | April 22, 2019 | Chris Mills Rodrigo

Posted on 04/22/2019 1:55:10 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Former Republican Rep. Joe Walsh (Ill.) said Monday that President Trump "needs" someone to challenge him in the 2020 Republican primary.

“I think this president needs a challenge," Walsh said when asked by CNN's Brooke Baldwin if he would support a challenger to Trump.

Walsh, a conservative radio host and frequent critic of Trump, made the comment while discussing his former colleagues' reaction to special counsel Robert Mueller's report on his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The report was released to the public last week, and Walsh criticized congressional Republicans for staying quiet about what Walsh called Trump's "dishonest" and "unethical" behavior as detailed in the report.

"I don't know how anybody can read this report and think 'this is behavior that we want in our president,'" he said.

Remember when the GOP used to tell us to vote for InSaine and Mutt for the good of the Party?

The Eagles were a crappy band, the Nickleback of the 1970s.

Walsh and his ilk require prison to bring them moral clarity. A good old fashioned brutal a$$ kicking should help too.

These never-Trumpers get a free pass now; they can get their day of fame anytime they want....just bash President Trump and CNN will love you.

Maybe Mitt should take this challenge. He seems to be pretty critical of POTUS (and it would be fun to watch him self-destruct again).

90% approval rating among Republican voters.

Lowest unemployment claims in history.

Highest percentage of Hispanic and black workers in history.

Yet this fricking blubbering idiot runs right to fake news CNN and wants to return to the good old days when Republicans meekly apologized for merely existing and conceded elections.

Go ahead Joe, William Weld, Romney, Max Boot - go ahead and try to primary Trump. Go ahead and chase after libtard voters because there's no way I'm going to the polls to vote for you sorry asses. I will never support you Never Trumpers and I won't contribute a dime to any GOP Congressional or Senatorial committee or to a conservative PAC. I will write Trump in.

If things continue as they’re gong, I don’t even see where we’ll need a convention for the next election.

This gnat thinks Trump hasn’t been sufficiently challenged. I guess he forgets the stage full of Republicans at the 2016 primary debates, not to mention the challenge of being framed by the intelligence community, the MSM, Hillary and the rest of the Rats. He was hung out to dry by the GOPe. Yeb was going to win it all. Ted Cruz was the last to fold.

This guy has to be a moron. . . with a bad memory to boot. . . or on the Rat payroll. Trump won’t break a sweat with this political mite.
