...if nobody else steps up?
The former Republican, appearing on Reverend Al's Politics Nation, still called himself a "conservative", but did not consider Trump a conservative. He was very critical of Trump and said no one should accept the lying and the cruelty of Donald Trump as the head of the Party, paraphrasing.
He mentioned that William Weld was running against Trump, and former Rep. Mark Sanford was seriously contemplating running. He expected that there would be more challengers to Trump.
It looks like Trump's political world is going to get much more interesting?
Walsh also said that we need someone that can look Trump in the eye. He did not believe the issues that the Democrats are talking about was the best way to fight back against Trump.
If he feels that strongly about it, I would encourage Mr. Walsh to throw his hat in the ring.

(25,224 posts)he doesn't have Trump-like money.
We couldn't wait to vote him out of office in Illinois. I can't believe MSNBC puts him on the air like he knows anything or he has something to say.

(25,224 posts)They made fun of him. Later after the parade he walked around the grounds where the food and entertainment was. People actually went out of their way to ignore and avoid him. He was totally embarrassed. He left with his tail between his legs.
He was way over his head as a Congressman.
His district constituents didn't think he was qualified as a Congressman. In no way is he qualified to be president.
Trump would eat this guy alive.
We all know that Trump is not qualified to be president.
I'd rather have a Dem than any Repug.
