I worked on his campaign in 2010 when he won. He never shuts his mouth. Always thinks he is right.

Joe Walsh is a poseur and an attention seeking faker. He has lost three races for Congress and one for state representative. His current wife lost a state representative race after being appointed to fill a vacancy in what had been a reliable Republican district.

Walsh narrowly won a single term in Congress in a wave election when he moved to a new district. The political chameleon reinvented himself as a conservative after running three races as a liberal Republican in a different region.

Walsh has been sued repeatedly by former campaign staffers and his ex-wife who exposed him as a deadbeat dad. The man is a nickel plated phony and a joke.

Well then stop writing him letters that tell him he is great.

good way to raise cash for all of that unpaid child support.
Dead beat dad Walsh has a better shot of seeing God than the white house.

I'll bet Democrat War Rooms churned out a host of lovely letters from people who wanted him to run... each more fake then the one before.... That's what they do - if this guy's for real he needs to go talk to some of those people who wrote him the fawning letters.

Not just look them up = anyone can register as a Republican - but GO AND TALK TO A RANDOM NUMBER OF THE PEOPLE WHO WROTE THE FAWNING LETTERS..

I think the Democrats are going to run stalking goats as independent campaigns and perhaps siphon off and split the conservative vote.

I think Trump’s support is solid and the max he’ll lose is 2-3% and such a candidate could actually siphon off from liberal progressive candidates.

Joe would get no vote for me. I can’t listen to him any more and I live in Chicago. He hates Trump but says its because he holds his standards. Joes only standard is that he hates Trump. All other standards go away under the NeverTrump standard.

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

When he was in congress he was our congressman and a good tea party guy. However, he’s changed dramatically such that myself and a host of others have sent him a ton of emails during his show telling him what an asshole he is. I’m thinking he’s looking for a more lucrative gig on CNN or NBC. I just heard a short clip of him calling Trump a coward, bully and liar in one or two sentences. A thorough hyper ambitious rotter.

The nitwittery is strong with this one. This doofus has as much chance of defeating President Trump as does what my dogs left on my neighbor’s lawn this morning.
