CHICAGO — Joe Walsh, the flame-throwing conservative radio show host and former Illinois congressman, is moving toward challenging President Donald Trump in a Republican primary, calling the president an “unfit divider in chief” and claiming the party is craving an alternative.
Walsh told POLITICO on Wednesday he is confident he could secure the resources and support to mount a challenge against the president, and that if he ran, he would announce in short order.(Snip) “I’ve been really surprised by the amount of anxiousness from people across the spectrum who want this president to have a challenge, because there’s just a real concern that he’s absolutely unfit.”

Unqualified or not, name recognition is a must! I never heard of Joe Walsh and I know nothing about him. Right there, he’s got a problem getting out of the starting gate.

“Unfit” is a term thrown around by many. I’d like specifics, please.

Sounds like he's blowing the ol' dog whistle, looking for a mega-donor. In all honesty, I wouldn't be able to pick this guy out of a line-up.

You yourself must be fit to make a comment like that. Talk is cheap but it must not be free of cost for jerks like this.

We recognize his name here in Illinois because he was a surprise winner of a Congressional seat for one 2-year term. He wasn't able to hold onto it, especially after negative publicity about how he owed his ex-wife over $100,000 in back child-support payments. His radio show is funded by a rich patron. I don't think many people listen to it. I switch the channel when he comes on. He hates Trump for some unknown reason, since he claims to be a conservative Republican. I don't think Trump will be losing much sleep over this "challenge."

This moron was my Representative for his brief stint in Congress. He lost his seat to a very weak Democrat in a firmly Republican district. An absolute clown.

Well, with Bill Weld and Joe Walsh dividing up the anti-Trumper votes, that makes Donald Trump the winner by breaking up the opposition. The whole 3% of RINO never-Trumpers.

I held my nose and voted for Trump in '16. He's more than earned my vote in '20.
Trump, unfit for office, is better than anyone else that's thrown their hat, crystals or furry costume into the ring.

I see from the comments that I'm not the only one that had to do a search on the name Joe Walsh.

Didn't he used to be a mediocre rock singer?
We recently had eight years of an absolutely unfit president and those who saw it did not dare say it, at least not outside of flyover country, because he was, you know, exempt and protected. Feel free to challenge Trump and get trounced, Joe, we could use the entertainment and you could use a good ego trimming.

Joe Walsh? I thought he played for the James Gang and later in the Eagles?

At first glance I thought it was the great guitar master and super rock star musician Joe Walsh fixin to do a dirty deed on DJT. Glad I was wrong and never heard of this loathsome gutter trash. He can team up with Romney and Flake and put on a real $-hit show.

If he had a Maserati that did 185 then PDJT should worry. Nope, wrong Joe.
Trump can keep singing: "Life's Been Good To Me So Far"

I loved Joe Walsh when he played with the Eagles. He must have sobered up and dried out some so he could get into politics. :)

Trump will be unaware Walsh is in the race--and so will we.

He lost his license. He's not allowed to drive. How could anyone vote for someone like that? He's also crazy and lazy.

Just another never-Trump, aka, Democrat making noise in the peanut gallery.
I thought Joe Walsh was a guitar player.

I listen to a good radio show out of Chicago every weekday morning -- Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson on WIND. They are informative and entertaining. Ads for Joe Walsh's radio show are broadcast during Dan and Amy's show. When I can, I turn off the radio station -- just for his very short ads. Joe Walsh is really THAT annoying. I can't even stand his brief ads!

#22 I wish that were true, but you can bet the MSM will give Joke Walsh 5 times as much coverage as they give Trump. The more anti-Trump he is, the more they will cover him.

Poor joe. The Saudis aren’t hiring lackeys right now so he’s signed up hurl insults at The President for minimum wage. Gotta respect that he does what he has to to pay all that back child support. Maybe he should do a paternity test and be relieved of the duty to pay.

By mistake I listened to his program for a few minutes. Used to be Mark Levin's spot. I thought I had reached someone from outer space. The man cannot speak clearly to begin with in his midwestern or whatever accent, but that alone was grating. The nonsense he proceeded with came from someone truly unhinged, he will do well with the left main stream media. His grammar, paucity of words, the man sounds as if he never finished High School. He was a one termer congress critter, and how he got this time slot on a radio show is beyond me. People will laugh their heads of if and when he challenges the President!
