After a bit of a build-up, former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh has made it official and announced he’s running for president . He will challenge Donald Trump for the Republican nomination in 2020. “I’m going to run for president,” Walsh said on ABC’s This Week. “I’m running because he’s unfit; somebody needs to step up and there needs to be an alternative. The country is sick of this guy’s tantrum—he’s a child.”
The announcement wasn’t exactly surprising considering the controversial radio host known for his incendiary remarks has been saying for days that Trump needed a challenger from the right. But it now officially makes Walsh, a former Trump supporter, the second Republican to launch a primary campaign against the president after former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld. Walsh’s candidacy will be an uphill climb considering Trump enjoys a high approval rating among Republicans. But the one-term congressman says he will focus his efforts on Iowa and New Hampshire in the hopes of gaining momentum.

Who? LOL!
Yet another idiot ahole or whore for soroznazi
The RNC should have some say to prevent vanity runs like this. He can count on the media doing their thing. .
Good. Let Trump beat his ass.
“and we don’t need the ladies crying ‘cause the story’s sad....” I have had Rocky Mountain Way in my ear since I heard this news. This Joe Walsh cleans up better!
I imagine a loose-knit coterie of Never-Trumpers, mischievous Democrats, and maybe even some Libertarians will sustain him through the primary.
Not taking on anyone.
Going nowhere.
I hope he burns more of the Cheap Labor Express’ money than Yeb! did.
Pretty hard to burn more than $150 million.
Lead guitar for the Eagles isn't he?
The only ones paying attention are TDS Democrats.
He knows this.
Which is why he picked George StuffinEnvelopes (as some FReeper once called him).
It’s ‘little people’!
There is money to be made running for president.
Even if you bomb out, you can keep much of the money if you do not spend it on the campaign.
Hell,uncle Bernie was able to purchase a third home.
A nice lake frontcabin by running and campaigning for 15 months last time.
How many YEARs do you have to work to pay off one house?
Is he on the ballot anywhere? Has he filed federal paperwork???
He’s not “taking on” Trump just like no Democrat could “take on” Obama in the 2012 Primaries. What Walsh is doing is signing up for a bunch of media interview to BASH TRUMP.
That’s all.
Ooooooo - Trump is so scared!
If you’re a self-centered moron
And getting caught up in the strain
Of taking on your betters
Then you have only half a brain.
If you like trashing Trump at midnight
And the country you betray
You’re not the guy that we want, no
Please just go and crawl away!
The other one is a musician. Born 1947.
This jerk is Joe “P.O.S.” Walsh. Born 1961.
Seriously, he should be forced to use a middle initial like the guy in Office Space was told to do so he wouldn’t be mistaken for the singer Michael Bolton. The guy did like Bolton’s entire catalog, though.
Maybe Joe X Walsh.
And?
