2020 presidential candidate Bill Weld laid out his strategy Wednesday to challenge Donald Trump for the Republican nomination, asserting that he's running to "win" and not to "weaken" the President.
"I'm not sure how serious Mr. Trump is about governing, honestly. He has a one-word environmental policy: 'hoax.' A one-word immigration policy: 'wall.' I think sometimes his lack of experience in preparation for the office shows," Weld told CNN's Alisyn Camerota on "New Day."
The former Republican governor of Massachusetts said he'll be focused initially on the New England region, "with particular emphasis on New Hampshire."
Yup, Weld is a long shot, due to Republican tribalism, but he is the only real Conservative Republican running in 2020.

Weld is not a "long shot". He's a "no shot".

Like I said, Republican tribalism, and this guy is the poster boy.

I would say Weld is more in line with the old Rockefeller Republicans, the northeastern liberal Republican wing of long ago yore. I think you have a better chance of winning the power ball and mega millions lottery in the same week or getting struck by lightening three times in a row than Weld has in besting Trump for the GOP nomination.
Weld is an adult though, but the GOP will easily stick with the temper tantrum thrower, name calling, thin skinned egotistical opportunist that acts like a five year old kid whose parents failed to teach him any manners. I was really surprised that the GOP would nominate an eight time party switcher who has no political ideology outside of being for himself and only himself.
Such is life.
Bill Weld should have been the Libertarian Presidential candidate instead of Gary Johnson in 2016. I voted for the pair but realized that Weld was the better of that team.

Bill Weld is almost tolerable. At least between Gary Johnson and Bill Weld running in the 2016 election as Libertarians, he at least knew where and what Aleppo was. Gary Johnson; "Aleppo? What's Aleppo?"

It wasn't their choice really; Trump made the other GOP candidates look like establishment stooges and none of them could switch gears in their campaign to really counter the frustration Trump tapped into. I'm pretty sure the GOP would be glad to be rid of him.
You may have something there. I know until Trump cinched the nomination, he was doing so with approximately 35% of the total vote. When you have 18 or so candidates, 35% is enough to win primary after primary. He ended up with 40% of the total GOP votes cast. Not being able to decide on a single candidate to oppose Trump also helped him out. Then how lucky can one get, he drew Hillary Clinton for the general. Someone as disliked as he was by America as a whole. Hillary did about everything wrong a candidate can do to go along with her laziness on the campaign trail.
Still, Trump will be the GOP nominee unless some major unforeseen event upsets the apple cart. We'll see what happens. With the right candidate, 2018 could be just the tip of the iceberg on how America votes in 2020. The Democrats could still blow it with the wrong nominee as they did in 2016 though.

I'm always reminded of the approval rating poll for both Clinton and Trump which found both of them in the mid-30 range. That GOP field was pretty poor as well; I actually agreed with Trump on his "low energy" comment about Jeb "clap now please" Bush and felt it applied to the others as well. Had the GOP fielded a more passionate candidate closer to its own values I think that candidate would have won the nomination.
Yeah, the GOP's made its deal with the devil and now they're stuck with Trump. Where this is problematic is if that type of candidate (belligerent and crass) becomes the expectation.
Governor Weld should be ashamed of himself.
He should show more respect to His Excellency, the President of the United States of America.
At this time when the Democratic sharks are circling their prey, the governor should not join the feeding frenzy.
His Excellency deserves the support and loyalty of those people who do not want a Democrat in the White House.
Unity among Republicans + fair-minded Independents & fair-minded Democrats is mandatory.
