Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld is mulling running for president and has taken a step toward challenging President Trump for the Republican nomination in 2020, according to a report.

Weld, 73, has changed his party registration in the Bay State from Libertarian back to Republican, according to the Associated Press.

A former Republican governor during the 1990s in the strongly blue state, Weld was running mate to 2016 Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson.

Some people that know him and respect him say that he's not done with the philosophy, just the party. I am not sure I believe it, but that's just what I heard.

In the run-up to the 2016 election, Weld described Trump as having “a screw loose.”

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Well considering he's never done anything with the philosophy, he has only done things to the philosophy, that's not very reassuring.

Isn't this guy a clinton-humper?

 

[Superfluous Man]

Let's be honest. Like Bob Barr, he never stopped serving the interests of the GOP throughout his tenure in the LP.

This is terrible for the GOP, Weld is the absolute worst.

There should be a poll on this.

Too depressing, this news is causing me to lose faith in the Grand ol' Party.

What Bill Weld hasn't realized is that his liberal brand of "conservative" politics just isn't selling these days.

 

[euphemia]

He is not being received warmly.

Weld: Oh no, I'm going to stay L.P.

Oh yes, "Libertarian for Life!" is a direct quote. I don't really care about him, really.

Severely conservative Massholes

Severely Conservative GOP voters proved their love for Masshole governors in '12, so Bill Weld has a good shot.

Isn't this guy a clinton-humper?

Yeah he said that back in November 2016 that hes vouching for Clinton.
