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.

I *sort of* liked Walsh until he attacked Trump over Trump defending himself and showing how corrupt the FBI leadership is. Haven’t listened to him since.

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


Yep. Apparently, party loyalty is a one way street. Elites do as they choose and they expect the unwashed serfs on the GOP plantation to follow orders. Why the Party of Lincoln has a political death wish I will never know.

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


LOL. Them’s fightin’ words. The eagles predate me and I have never had a big interest in them but that is funny.

Walsh, a conservative radio host...?

Let me fix it: 'Walsh, who pretends to be a conservative, but is a swamp dwelling Uniparty member...'

That is the truth...you can't be a conservative and a NeverTrumper, so Walsh is a Swamp dweller...not a conservative.

“I think this president needs a challenge," Walsh said

Well, working with a spineless GOP has certainly been a challenge.

One term wonder who has been holding Trumps feet to the fire he claims. Just another shithead trying to make money off of Orange bad man, he’s not long for his gig.

Nope. West suburbs of Chicago. Mrs. L was born and raised in Sonoma County, tho.
