Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld announced Monday he is officially entering the race for president, becoming the first Republican to challenge President Donald Trump in the 2020 race.

"Ours is a nation built on courage, resilience, and independence. In these times of great political strife, when both major parties are entrenched in their 'win at all cost' battles, the voices of the American people are being ignored and our nation is suffering," Weld, who had previously formed an exploratory committee, said in a statement.

"It is time for patriotic men and women across our great nation to stand and plant a flag. It is time to return to the principles of Lincoln -- equality, dignity, and opportunity for all.

Weld and Kasich can split the combined 2% support they will get.

If I were Trump I’d just ignore him.

LOL, like that will happen. Trump will make him look more foolish than he is.

He is lucky his announcement was covered by the press in Mas. given it was Patriots Day and there was another small event called The Boston Marathon.. This candidate is a joke from the get go.

I wonder how much did Soros and the Democrats pay him to challenge Trump.

Gov Weld is not entering the race to win but to cause Trump to spend time against this loose and to do as much damage as possible to help the Dem’s 2020 so the Estab like Kristol/Koch/Soros,Will’s can get someone they can control

It’s well known if you pledge a penny monthly or whatever to these campaigns it costs them a shitton more than a penny to maintain.

Weld is a New England Republican. Or, as we call them around here a Democrat.

GEEBUS he looks like a cross between Tipp O’Neill and George Will. Vertical double chins look like a mangina. And he’s wearing his wife’s reading glasses.

I wonder if Hogan of Maryland will be persuaded to run. Is he better known than Weld?

He wasn’t even a Republican last time around. As I said about Romney, any Republican who can win a statewide race in Massholechussetts is a Republican I can’t trust.

As soon as former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld walked into his first New Hampshire diner as an official Republican presidential candidate Tuesday, he spread his arms and proclaimed, “I am back.”

Two people clapped in a nearby booth.

A handful of supporters greeted him at each stop. When he chatted up the other diners, Weld talked about sports, the weather, and tenaciousness of the fishercat, an animal native to the Granite State.

“People are usually like, ‘What is a fishercat? But [they] don’t realize how ferocious they can be, sort of like me and this campaign,” Weld said.

Every Old Country Buffet in NH has been put on notice.

The only “Republicans” that would vote for Weld are “never Trumpers” that wouldn’t vote for Trump anyway.

They voted for Hitlery! the last time. No loss.

Looks like Old Country Buffet closed all of their New England locations.
