I hope Walsh doesn't want any sympathy. He was part of the GOP rot that began with Nixon and Reagan. The rot that sold their party to the "Religious Right." He was part and parcel of all of it until it got out of control. He'd be part an parcel of it still if they had Cruz, Pence or Rubio as President.
