Bill Weld announces he is challenging Trump for GOP nomination in 2020

[enhanced_deficit]

Better than Trump.

Don't know much about his platform yet but heard he has been only Republican or Libetrian since he was 18, so he may lack some political diversity expereince like MAGA who was Hillary funding democrat for few decades.

That said, if Weld doesn't get funded by foreign-first neoconservatives like MAGA's top current funder Adelson, he does get some key advantages automatically. Will have to see how he rolls out his campaign. MAGA's attack machine is still fierce but bit bloated now as it now includes some prominent liberals like Dershowitz, Lindsey Graham, Lieberman, various professional hacks and neocons tools at Foxnews minus MASNBC's Morning Joe etc but it no longer has the underdog advantages and smart candidate can take it apart.

Ronald Reagan was a loser until he beat Bob Dole & Jimmy Carter in '80.

Because he had True Grit like Bill Weld, and just kept on trying until he won.

Duckie....... you really missed me. The stuff Mister BARR took a magic marker to, is about to get real public.
Duckie..... if there is the whiff of impeachment in the air, you knew i said i'd be back to opine on about 1868.
Duckie......... i just might write a coffee table book about the literacy level ole Andy Johnson has in adulthood.

timosman.... Bill Weld is unlike Donald Trump. Weld is too stupid to steal all the gold in Fort Knox. I think Ex-Gov.Weld is very honest.

I don't think Weld is either stupid or honest. That said, he may still be less terrible than Trump overall. I'm certain that he's closer than Trump to Ron Paul on trade and immigration.

Well, Weld would definitely be the lesser of two evils. Hell, even Bolton or Pompeo is less evil, after all they are just doing what they are told right?

Whatever it takes to keep the 2-party duopoly alive. It makes people feel included in the process and discuss issues that have nothing to do with individual liberty and true freedom.

How many centuries is this now?

So true.

Weld should take a look at what happened the last time somebody tried to primary a Republican president.

I'm referring to Pat Buchanan when he tried to primary Bush SR in 92.

VP Nelson Rockefeller, primaried out

Gerry Ford's sitting VP Nelson Rockefeller got primaried out for Bob Dole, and then they both lost to Jimmy Carter & Walter Mondale.

Isn't he the original libertarian? lol

That's what I heard but still relativelu unknown quantity.

If he wants to to challenge GOP base rock star who's been lately also appealing to many liberals/Dems/moderate socialist crowds, Weld would have to up his game and find a way to get media owners to end blackout of coverage of his campaign.
