Ex-GOP Rep. Joe Walsh Reportedly Set to Announce Primary Challenge to Trump
https://www.mediaite.com/trump/ex-gop-rep-joe-walsh-reportedly-set-to-announce-primary-challenge-to-trump/According to The New York Times, Joe Walsh — a former Republican congressman from Illinois who currently hosts a syndicated radio show — is set to announce that he is mounting a primary challenge to the president. The official declaration could come as soon as this weekend.
The conservative talk show host would be the second challenger to Trump on the Republican side. Former Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld, who ran for vice president as a libertarian in 2016, has already thrown his hat in the ring.
In response to a comment request from the Times about Walsh’s entry into the race, Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said simply: “Certain failure.”
Walsh has been a vocal critic of the president, frequently appearing on cable news to slam his positions on a host of issues. Walsh said he voted for Trump in 2016 but has become disenchanted with the president. The summit with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki served as something of a final straw for Walsh, according to the Times.

Yeah, JW is no good.. not quite as bad as trump.. I just thought it would be interesting to have him out there exposing trump to repubs from a repub.
Thanks for the info on his stupidly trashing Sen Duckworth, she. That's what repubs do.. they have nothing so they attempt to trash those who are honorable.
Dead beat dad as well, Cha.
I hate these people. I am tired of seeing the 'menz' going after strong women. 
The same Joe Walsh that disrespected Tammy Duckworth?
“I don’t mind if he attacks me personally,” said Duckworth. “But when he says a veteran is not a true hero if they speak about their military service he’s now discouraging 23 million veterans across this great nation from speaking about their service at a time when young vets coming home need to be talking about the leadership skills they developed in the military.” Watch more here.
