Skimming a couple of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wbur.org\/news\/2019\/02\/15\/weld-president-bid-republican-trump\">news stories<\/a> and headlines on the Internet it appears that one of my my last remaining Republican heroes, William Weld, will be challenging Donald Trump. I just found a twitterfeed (I think that&#8217;s what it was) and donated $100.00 to his campaign. If he ends up running as a third party candidate I&#8217;ll wish him well but support a Democrat instead. But as a fellow who recently forced myself back into the GOP as a anti-Putin candidate for Congress I will be happy to help Bill Weld.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been out of circulation for years.

I&#8217;ve mentioned Weld a few times on the blog.
