Joe Walsh couldn't stop Trump. |
William Joseph Walsh has decided that to end his campaign to oust Trump as the party's de facto nominee.
"I am ending my candidacy for President of the United States," he said to CNN. "I got into this because I thought it was really important that there was a Republican -- a Republican -- out there everyday calling out this president for how unfit he is."
He said Trump "literally is the greatest threat to this country right now. Any Democrat would be better than Trump in the White House."
He accused the Republican Party of being a "cult" and said that Trump can't be beat in the GOP primary "so there's no reason for me, or any [Republican] really to be in there."
He was upset that Ronna Romney McDaniel and state party leaders changed the rules to keep Republican challengers off the ballot. They cancelled primaries and caucuses. It harmed Walsh, Bill Weld and Mark Sanford. These were the three candidates who officially ran for president as the Republican nominee.
Walsh ran third in the Iowa Caucuses. Even though Trump carried 95% of the state, Walsh said there's no way he could oust the controversial jackass. Republicans approve of his actions.
Trump had strong armed donors and party leaders. They quickly got the message.
George Conway, the husband of Kellyanne Conway has been very critical of Trump and has vowed to find ways to stop Trump. He and many anti-Trump Republicans are working to find ways to damage him going into the campaign season.
Walsh said that he's considering running for the Libertarian Party.
Walsh, a one-term Congressman from Illinois was a controversial figure. He often appeared on Fox News and was once buddies with Sean "Softball" Hannity. He often appeared on cable news trashing Barack Obama with racially coded attacks. Walsh was also hammered for being a negligent father. He owes child support and faced scrutiny for using campaign funds for unauthorized spending. He was defeated by Tammy Duckworth. Duckworth went to serve one term as a Congresswoman before she eventaully got elected as the Democratic senator from Illinois.
Walsh said that he thinks Obama did a great job and apologized for the years of agitating.
