Former Republican Rep. Joe Walsh is calling for a primary challenger to take on President Donald Trump in 2020, as he is reckoning with his past controversial comments and apologizing for his role in helping elect an "unfit con man" to the presidency.


People are jumping ship faster these days trying to get away from Trump’s sinking ship.

The smarter former Trump voters have to be waking up and saying "Hey... wait a minute. Donald Trump is not what I thought I was voting for, I may have made a mistake ." I know a couple of people in my circle of friends who were completely bullish on Trump in the beginning ........now, you don't get much out of them, and they look a little sheepish when the conversation swings that direction.

As much as we like to come down on Trump voters, not all of them are pickup truck with a dog in the back, low intelligence people. Some are actually nice people and smart. I think those are the people who will not be ashamed to admit they made a mistake. But his core base, some of whom we see daily on here, will never back down, and if he loses, they will be the most vocal and conspiracy believing people on the planet.

I expect that his Twitter account has some sort of silly anti-Trump missive every 1/2 hour or so. Like most of these guys, he'll be worse than the man he claims to hate. I guess it's a way to make the CNN rounds as the 'good' Republican.

That's the FIRST thing that came to mind when I saw his face. Seriously, if they ever need someone for the Epstein flick, they have their guy

Isn't that Jeff Epstein? Weird how much they look alike.

Anyways, America was offered up the perfect boy scout for POTUS in 2012. The economy was a mess, the country was a mess, nothing was going right and the GOP had every expectation that Mitt Romney would win. Romney refused to get into mudslinging personal attacks. He never did drugs, never smoked, never drank, never cheated on his wife, never got a divorce, had a long history of working with Democrats to get stuff done, etc. And ... he lost anyways. Some would say he looked weak. Others said he looked fake. But these were trivial, pathetic, ridiculous complaints against an obvious genuinely good man. He too was accused of being an evil racist, fascist and the rest of the list of buzzwords. Full disclosure, I supported and voted for Ron Paul, so no I'm not a Romney fanboy pining over poor Mitt losing. Just pointing out facts. America probably should have elected Romney because he was a good decent man and Obama was doing a terrible job, particularly at the time.

Fast forward to 2016. The GOP pre-coronated Jeb Bush. The voters weren't having it. Against non-stop haranguing and alarmism from the GOP elites, they nominated Donald Trump anyways. Donald Trump is immoral, irreverent, feisty, angry, rude, obnoxious, etc. He's the polar opposite of Mitt Romney and he's exactly what you get when nice, decent and respectable are spun by the media as weaknesses and flaws. It's a given that any Republican nominee will be called racist and sexist and all the rest, so now you've got a guy who refuses to tip-toe around things apologizing for every non-PC word or deed. He is the direct result of PC cultural backlash and it probably means he wins again in 2020.

At this point, I'm far more pro-Trump than at the election. He's made a good solid effort on mass immigration from the Third World against truly yuge odds.

The thing is, the palace coup that got run on the man even before his policies got started up was a real shot across the bow to a lot of people. There's something malevolent in the middle of the machinery of government and it represents an existential threat to our country. I can forgive Trump a lot if his only superpower is to stand in the way of those people.

Generally, I'd say that Donald Trump, flaws and all, represents the immune system of Western Civilization kicking in.

Did that massive rally in New Hampshire last night make you think that people are defecting from Trump?

LOL
