Conservative firebrand former Illinois Rep. Joe Walsh announced Sunday with ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week" that he's launching a long-shot Republican presidential primary challenge against President Donald Trump. https://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/exc ... d=65122073

"We've got a guy in the White House who is completely unfit to be president and it stuns me that nobody stepped up. The country is sick of this guy's tantrum, he's a child... he's nuts, he's erratic, he's cruel, he stokes bigotry,"

"I helped create Trump and that's not an easy thing to say... I went beyond the policy and the idea differences and I got personal and I got hateful. I said some ugly things about Pres. Obama that I regret"

I wonder if his statements will reach the other half of America

I don’t know much about this guy’s politics but I don’t see anything wrong with this. I’d be open to voting Republican or any other politician who can hold his/her party accountable.

Isn't he the Tea Party guy who advocated to teach kinder kids how to shoot a gun?
He won't beat trump. He'll probably just get more publicity and run for a different public office.

I won't lie, I initially thought this was talking about the Eagles guitarist. 🤣 I need more caffeine.

I honestly don't know why Republicans are sticking with trump so hard. Surely there is another anti-immigrant, pro-rich people, anti-abortion, climate change denier out there who wouldn't be such a goddamn tiresome embarrassment that they could primary.

Damn! I think of him as a solo artist. I didn’t even know he was in The Eagles until a few years ago. The same with Don Henley.

I've been following Joe Walsh for awhile so saw this coming. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. He has a conservative following - especially in the tea party. Could he defeat Trump? Hardly. But IMO, Trump does not have the capacity to attack multiple fronts and it will be interesting to see how he deals with a primary challenge from a Tea Party "friend".
