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.

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.

To coin a phrase from Bro. Dave Garner.........I LOVE YOU, YOU GYPSY SAVAGE!.......LOL

Walsh is right but for the wrong reason.

Trump needs primary challengers because he thrives on challenge. He would come out of the primary ready for the general pumped and chomping at the bit for more raw meat to devour.

The Eagles were pretty lame but the James Gang pretty much kicked ass.

Who? Never heard of them except when they robbed banks and railroads......you mean they sang too?......(snort)
I gotta say I loved me some Eagles, why just yesterday I belted out a few bars of “Take It Easy” for our daughter who happened to come over with an Eagles Tee on and I even danced whilst singing. It’s a fun place here I tell ya......

Trump was swept into office specifically on the backs of voters whose primary concern is sealing the border with no amnesty.

Ousting Trump would require finding a candidate who was more credible on that specific issue.

Who is there.

Bush League Republicans are desperate to save the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA) that they have spent 30 years blocking the citizens from stopping.

I HATE #NeverTrump-tards.

It is also pathetic that our side attacks each other but the left will never speak ill of each other.

Walsh needs a 48-hour enema to cure his diarrhea of the mouth.

Many people don't know that Sen Walsh and Keith Moon were good friends.

Joe played on John Entwistle’s “Too Late The Hero” album, which was a real good album.
