    Werewolf Joe Walsh expected to announce presidential run



    The New York Times reported Wednesday that Walsh, now a radio host, will announce his candidacy as early as the weekend. Walsh argued in an op-ed for the newspaper last week that the president needed a primary challenge from the right and told the Times in an interview that he would announce his intentions before Labor Day.

    Walsh would join former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld (R), who announced his candidacy earlier this year, as the second Republican challenger to mount the long-shot challenge against Trump, whose approval rating among Republicans has hovered above 50 percent since he took office in 2017.

    The former congressman supported Trump during the 2016 election but has hammered the president for his conduct in the years that followed. Earlier this year, he sharply criticized Trump over behavior outlined in Robert Mueller's report that detailed the results of the special counsel investigation into the Trump campaign.

    "I don't know how anybody can read this report and think, 'This is behavior that we want in our president,'" he told CNN's Brooke Baldwin at the time.

    "Criminal behavior, who knows?" he added. "But, boy, dishonest, immoral, unethical? Heck yes it is. And I’ll tell you, Brooke, every Republican on Capitol Hill agrees with what I just said. They can’t say that publicly."


    Walsh previously served one term in Congress as a Tea Party-aligned Republican and swiped at Weld as a centrist earlier this month in the Times op-ed.

    “The president is more vulnerable to a challenge from the right. I’m on the right, and I’m hugely disappointed that challenge hasn’t yet materialized,” Walsh wrote at the time.
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    By my calculation, as recently as two years ago, 85 percent of Republicans on this board claimed they wanted nothing to do with Trump, they claimed Trump was a liberal Democrat, they claimed they had to hold their nose to even vote for Trump, they claimed only the fact that Hillary Clinton was running "forced" their hand to pull the lever for Trump.

    You want to know how you will be able to tell every single one of those claims were bald-face lies?

    Because Trump will win the GOP nomination with 99 percent of the vote. Even though Walsh presumably is more representative of traditional Republicanism, Trump will blow him out of the water hands down. Trump is the most beloved and popular Republican politician of our generation with the conservative base. Its Trump's party now. And almost every single solitary conservative is not only in the tank for him, but are willing to spend countless hours on obscure message boards pouring their heart and soul into defending him, supporting him, and providing cover for him.

    Prediction; he will garner less than 1% of the votes.

    I think it's more like Walsh said.

    A lot of Republicans are secretly not happy with Trump but just can't say so publicly.

    Walsh could come out and say Trump carries a huge risk of blowing up and/or being impeached, but Walsh represents a far less risky Republican voice.

    The problem for Walsh being that without the deplorable vote, can he muster enough good Republican votes to beat the Dems.

    That's funny. He's the guy who had that huge extramarital scandal with the Argentinian woman, and was almost forced out of his governorship over it, and was publicly divorced by his wife. I guess he figures hey if Trump could get elected after the Access Hollywood video then no problem for him.
