Opinion | Evan Siegfried: “Governor Weld is indeed challenging Trump for the Republican Party’s 2020 presidential nomination, but let’s be honest: He doesn’t stand a chance.” - NBCNewsTHINK
, 31 percent of Americans identified as Republican right after Trump was inaugurated but, in March of 2019, just 26 percent say that they are members of the GOP — an exodus of a few million members.
Had those people stayed in the Republican Party, then they would have made for an ideal target for Weld and his primary campaign — but they did not.Furthermore, Weld’s campaign is constrained by some political realities. The Republican National Committee has made moves tofrom any serious primary challenge in 2020 and all but ensured the president’s renomination.
William Weld’s candidacy, while well-intentioned, is nothing more than tilting at windmills. All that it will achieve is to provide a new storyline for the media while attracting the support of dozens of GOP primary voters.
