The Spin: GOP Ex-Illinois congressman Joe Walsh vs. Donald Trump
Chicago Tribune ^ | Aug 15 2019 | Lisa Donovan

Pot-stirring, flame-throwing former Republican U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh hasn’t ruled out running against President Donald Trump next year, a CNN reporter shared on social media this morning. Walsh was on the cable news station earlier in the day echoing a New York Times op-ed he penned about why a GOP challenger should get in there and push out Trump, calling the sitting president “a racial arsonist who encourages bigotry and xenophobia to rouse his base and advance his electoral prospects.” Walsh has faced some similar accusations.

When faced with pressure, Walsh caved even though he was right on the facts.

We the people have no use for such a politician.

An Illinois GOP is like a Eugene McCarthy democrat. Maybe even like a Maxist out of the old Soviet Union.

Not a shot at you Rin, but this crap about ‘running against Trump’ is so damn silly that it’s laughable...and it’s getting old.

With Trump at 90% Republican approval, how, exactly, does Mr. Walsh, or any other clown, think they lay a finger on him.

...and if they’re hoping to get Democrats to support them, that’s just as hopeless. First, because not that many people, of either party, play those kinds of games (crossing over to muck up the other side), only political junkies, of which there are relatively few, and far fewer than needed to offset the Republican base in any noticeable way. And second, because the Democrats have a contested primary of their own, so even if they wanted to vote in the Republican primary to muddy up our side, they won’t.

Tap dancing on a landmine will get him to the White House quicker.

I can’t stand to listen to Walsh’s radio program. It is abrasive on the ears. He is a nasty person, and lately he’s been throwing bombs at Trump. I happened to catch his Friday broadcast because I didn’t feel like getting up to change the station when it came on. He was saying that Bibi made a mistake barring entry to the two Daughters of Destruction, etc. Since I think Bibi did the right thing slamming the door to these 2 NoGoodNiks, I took issue with the rest of Walsh’s justification for his statement. I think he’s a hothead and I hope he stays far away from the election, much less oppose Trump. We have enough dummocrap idiots to shove off, we don’t need someone supposedly on the same side. Because Walsh is out for Walsh, not for us.

Joe is about to go through his ‘Glenn Beck’ phase.
Scaramucci may want to use him first though, maybe to primary the president.

Walsh is a severe headbanger-impossible to stay tuned in for more than two minutes. Amazing he hasn’t been canned for excessive dead air alone. Why is he so slow- is it the crystal meth or some new designer drug?

He is not a conservative, and he is all about himself!

All he would be doing, is trying to get his name out there.

It won’t be Walsh. I’m getting some vague whiffs from the ether that Romney is going to be the spoiler.

Oh I agree. He is one of the most unlikable people I’ve ever listened to before.
