Moviebuff001:He should have said, I will win you should ask others this question.
the question was what would you do *if* you lose.. I would say he was bold to address *if* part. Ofcourse what you said portrays confidence but merely as a facade.. in my opinion! |

Rocketk2:Taking a stand . Taking a principle
What is the point in running in primaries if you are not going to respect people and party? He should have said, I will win you should ask others this question. _________________________________________________ Your words will tell others what you think.

Rocketk2:When asked if he would endorse Trump should he lose the primary, Weld deflected. "I find the current president a difficult act to swallow," Weld said, and he suggested that he might support a different Republican or an independent candidate.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/former-massachusetts -governor-bill-weld-announces-plan-to-challenge-president-tr ump-for-republican-nomination/2019/02/15/998671f6-307f-11e9- 86ab-5d02109aeb01_story.html Former Massachusetts governor Bill Weld told an audience in New Hampshire on Friday that he will try to take on President Trump in the 2020 Republican presidential primary, offering the first high-profile challenge to the president's reelection effort. ..... He said he would run on a traditional Republican agenda of fiscal responsibility and provide a stylistic contrast to Trump. .... "I'm here because I think our country is in grave peril, and I cannot sit quietly on the sidelines any longer," he said. ..... Weld outlined an agenda that was far more specific than that laid out by other presidential candidates so far. He advocated simplifying the tax code and reducing taxes across the board. He favored lowering trade barriers and shrinking the government overall, including eliminating the Education Department. While those elements are well within Republican orthodoxy, he also departed from it. He said climate change represented a dire threat to the nation and the United States should reenter the Paris climate agreement. ....... "We have a president whose priorities are skewed toward promotion of himself rather than toward the good of the country," Weld said. "He may have great energy and considerable raw talent, but he does not use them in ways that promote democracy, truth, justice and equal opportunity for all." When asked if he would endorse Trump should he lose the primary, Weld deflected. "I find the current president a difficult act to swallow," Weld said, and he suggested that he might support a different Republican or an independent candidate. Well there you go.. my conservative friends .. if conservatism is what appeals you, now there is an alternative.. |
