Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld on Friday took the final step before challenging President Trump for the 2020 Republican nomination.


At a New Hampshire event, Weld said he formed an exploratory committee ahead of next year's primary campaign.

"I'm here because our country is in grave peril, and I cannot sit quietly on the sidelines any longer," Weld said. "Because of the many concerns I've talked about today, I have established an exploratory committee to pursue the possibility of my running for the presidency of the United States as a Republican in the 2020 election."

You might want to tap the brakes on that one...

Kasich nor Weld are not worth rallying around. IMO, there's no one on the horizon with the gravitas to dethrone Trump. The Republican Party is bereft of intelligent and moral leaders suitable for the office of the Presidency. They have been coopted by the Chamber of Commerce and K Street.

Forced to come up with a name, I can only think of two: Dave Brat and Ted Cruz.

There is one guy, who if he chose to run, would seriously have a chance,   and that's Greg Abbott.   But he won't do it.  But I sure hope he does run in 2024.
