Wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which one fills up first.

How utterly bereft of common sense does someone such as Joe Walsh have to be, to imagine, even in the middle of the most potent roach, that he could unseat a man with the positive record the current POTUS has? This is delusions of grandeur off the charts.

Once the average person gets a taste of fame or even of infamy, it’s hard to go back just ‘being a regular Joe’.

Meaning, I’m not too surprised at Walsh being a turncoat.
He always seemed more interested in making news vs making sense. Right now, any former Trump Team members who disavow the president are ‘hot property’ for the main stream.
That may not last for very long though.

“Well he is a great guitar player musician.”

I like a lot of his music. Unfortunately the one to whom you refer has a seriously fried brain.

Rumor has it that he goes to to parties sometimes until four and then finds it hard to find the door.

‘Once the average person gets a taste of fame or even of infamy, it’s hard to go back just ‘being a regular Joe’.’

Joe even said, “It’s tough to handle this fortune and fame
Everybody’s so different, I haven’t changed.”

He also has people that send him letters that tell him that he is great.

Seems to me he should just turn his pretty head and walk away . . .

Running for Pres. is a good way to raise money and your name recognition, free PR. His slogan can be “The Other Joe Walsh”.
