You’ll never guess who…
Joe Walsh, a conservative former U.S. congressman turned talk show host, on Sunday became the second Republican to challenge President Donald Trump for the party’s 2020 White House nomination.
Walsh, 57, announced his long-shot bid to unseat Trump, who has strong support among Republicans, after sharply criticizing the Republican president as a liar and a bully who is unfit for office.
“I’m running because he’s unfit,” Walsh told ABC’s “This Week” program. “Somebody needs to step up.”
Former Republican Rep. Joe Walsh will primary Trump: “I’m going to run for president.”
“No surprise: We’ve got a guy in the White House who is unfit, completely unfit to be president and it stuns me that nobody stepped up.”

Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told ABC News a dismissive one-word response to Walsh jumping into the race: “Whatever.”
Walsh has acknowledged there’s little chance his candidacy will result in Trump losing the party nomination, and he is instead focused on offering GOP voters an alternative vision for the party.
While he has argued that he plans to make the moral case for his candidacy, the former Tea Party congressman has a history filled with incendiary and controversial statements ranging from using racist slurs on Twitter to promoting falsehoods around former President Barack Obama’s birth certificate and that he’s Muslim.
Walsh only served one term in Congress, but his candidacy does perhaps bring a more current figure from conservative circles into the long-shot picture compared to Weld, who last held public office over 20 years ago. Walsh’s nationally syndicated radio show and large online following arguably kept him more relevant.
Walsh has spent the past months attacking President Trump on Twitter and on various shows after spending the primary supporting him.

Walsh is a dumb ass motherfucker with shit for brains. Trump will kill him. What an asshole. He should switch parties.
So is he really a “conservative” or is he just a never trumper? Asking for a friend……………
Joe Walsh is just another RINO useful idiot – unfit for office who wants to offer an ALTERNATIVE TO Republican Democracy its called GOP RINO Socialism. Walsh is just another Paul Ryan hater of the Constitution who hopes to sway the undecided in any debate.
We have to choices in life.
Take wasted food and preserve it…or take wasted food and throw it out.
Walsh is a waste of food – make the choice.
Another little person fantasizing that he can fill the shoes of Trump. Does he really think he has the balls to take on Europe, China, Mexico, and Canada to achieve fair trade agreements? How about North Korea and Iran? Trump has done an outstanding job so far with taxes, the economy, jobs, and pulling out of the socialist created Paris Treaty designed to redistribute America’s wealth! Forget it. Yes, Trump has some rough edges, and some of his actions do bother me – but not enough to vote for anyone else! Yes, his approval rating is down to 38%. Who on earth could withstand the crushing, overwelmingly negative news coverage by the socialist controlled media? I’m am surprised that it is as high as it is. NO socialists (Democrats) in 2020, and NO MORE RINO’s like Joe Walsh.
Another dumb fool trying to let the dumb-o-craps win. Might he indeed be from the state of Ill-lee-annoy, or is he just annoying on his own, as most media fools tend to be?
What happened in 2016, when they thought Trump unfit. The only way Trump is unfit, is for their type of criminal back grounds & being a hypocrite, like them. Trump is so far above these liars, they will never touch him. I look at some of these candidates & think, “OMG” there is NO POSSIBLE way they could deal with the internationals, because, they don’t even know themselves. They’ve lied their way into every office & can’t remember how to fix the lies they’ve been telling all these years. It’s called “cover up” & look good to the public…. Trump is a little crude sometimes, but, he tells it just the way it is, & brings out all their lies, taking down their cover-ups. He has nothing to hide & he certainly will never hide their crimes. Each individual who has attempted to ruin him, he finds their crimes & just puts them right out there for the entire world to see. This is what they call unfit, because, it is fitting to show their crimes, lies & hypocritical lives. Keep up to good work Trump & bring all of them to JUSTICE. The USA is tired of lying Presidents & Trump just doesn’t lie.
Blondie,, I agree with your comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with your comment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I agree
Come on now, Bud….WE DON’T WANT YOU.
Walsh is a fly on a horses ass
I’ve listened to Joe Walsh for several years as he was becoming more and more a democrat. I have stopped listening to him because he is an irritating, obnoxious loud mouth. He stands as much of a chance as I would getting a million dollar windfall.
Dream on. Better you save you money.
