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.

If I recall correctly, Weld won the governorship against John Silber - one of the only Democrats ever that I ever considered voting for. If not for Silber's whack-job running mate (Marjorie Claprood), I might have gone for him over Weld.

Also, when Weld was re-elected in 1994, he tied one on pretty good for his victory party. His victory speech was incoherent and sloppy. You used to be able to find that on YouTube but it looks like it's been scrubbed from the Internet for the most part.

Why is this idiot running against our Donald wasting his time? He’s a pathetic joke.

Slick Willie Weld is a Derp State Socialist Clintonista. He was further to the left of his Democrat opponent in 1990 and was pledged to destroy the Republican Party and Conservatives. He’s as much a Republican as his close friend Hillary.

Primary challenges traditionally hurt incumbent Presidents.

He’s hasn’t lost his mind, he’s trying to soften Trump up for Com-Allah Harris, pure and simple. But unlike the most recent primary challengers (Buchanan, to Bush’s right) (Kennedy to Carter’s left) he’s attacking from the direction opposite to the party’s base so the effect won’t be the same.

Slick Willie Weld will inflict as much damage to Trump as a gnat on the windshield of a Buick going at 120 mph. He is an epic left-wing loser and lush who destroys anything and everything he is ever put in charge of. Some poor dopes at a college in Kentucky thought he’d be great at running it, and instead he put them out of business in record time.

Damn, DJ... you just described 98% of the democrat politicians in this country in one short, succinct, sentence.

Bravo!!!
