Joe Walsh ends presidential run

Joe Walsh endured some rocky years, then in an upset in 2010, won a US House race in Illinois. Boss Michael Madigan, the chairman of the Democratic Party, gerrymandered him out of Congress, but he seemed to find his place as afterwards as a Chicago-based afternoon talk radio host.

But then Walsh caught the #NeverTrump bug, made his show unlistenable, then he decided to challenge President Trump for the Republican nomination.

Dumb.

He dropped out of the race today. He says he'll support the Democratic nominee for president this fall.

But now Walsh has to find a job. It will be hard to envision a return to radio, Republicans see him as a joke, Democrats will remember that he claimed that Barack Obama is a Muslim, but he recently backed off that last one.

Walsh is his own worst enemy. When will he learn that?
