Walsh tweeted a string of messages following Trump's overwhelming win in the Iowa caucuses, calling for a new political movement for conservatives such as him, while blasting the modern-day Republican Party as a "cult."

"I spoke in front of 3,000 Iowa Republicans last night. It was like a MAGA rally. I told them we needed a President who doesnt lie all the time. The crowd booed me. I told them we needed a President who wasnt indecent & cruel. The crowd booed me," Walsh tweeted.

"Afterwards, I realized again that my Republican Party isnt a Party, its a cult. I realized again that nobody can beat Trump in a Republican primary. And most importantly and most sadly, I realized again that I dont belong in this party. I have no home in this party," he continued.

"And I realized again that something new needs to begin. Whether its a political party, or a movement, I dont know. But there needs to be a home for conservatives who are decent, principled, and respectful. Conservatives who embrace all Gods children, acknowledge thatclimate change is real, get serious about our debt, abide by our Constitution, and tell the truth. I hope to be a part of this new party. This new movement. But job #1 in 2020 is to stop Trump," Walsh concluded.

to stop Trump. Lets make sure Trump is defeated in 2020, then we get back to respectfully debating issues. Instead of talking about Trump everyday. Lets put aside our differences on certain issues now and understand that Trump is the single greatest threat to this Republic. 9/
