Bill Weld to challenge DT in 2020?

[kadee79]

William F. Weld, the former two-term governor of Massachusetts, said Friday he is launching a presidential exploratory committee, taking a formal step to become the first Republican to directly challenge President Trump in the 2020 GOP primary. 


“I think our country is in grave peril and I cannot sit quietly on the sidelines anymore,” Weld said in a lacerating anti-Trump speech at the Politics & Eggs breakfast in Bedford, a traditional stop for would-be presidential candidates.



Accusing Trump of denigrating the free press, humiliating foreign allies, and heaping praise on authoritarian leaders, Weld said the president is a “schoolyard bully” and “simply too unstable to carry out the duties of the highest executive office in the land.” 


Trump’s “priorities are skewed toward the promotion of himself, rather than to the good of the country,” Weld said.



“We don’t need six more years of the antics we’ve seen,” he added. “We need to install leaders who know character counts.”

I don’t know how much influence Weld had on the 16 Libertarian campaign but it was a cluster f of epic proportion. In an election where the two major party candidates were vomit worthy the Libertarians couldn’t even crack 5%.

I still like Kasich although admit he sucks on women's issues. As the Dubettes are 24 and 26 that is huge for me. Donnadub can take care of herself. No doubt.

I wonder how much it isn't a challenge to Trump as much as a head start in case there ends up not being a Trump 2020 campaign (for whatever reason that might happen).
