Former Massachusetts GOP Gov. Bill Weld has launched a committee to explore a 2020 Republican primary challenge against President Trump.

Weld confirmed the move during an address Friday at "Politics and Eggs," a must stop in the first-in-the-nation primary state of New Hampshire for any White House hopeful.

“I think there definitely is a path to victory, but you want to test the market a bit. I look forward to talking to a variety of people. You want to make sure the motion doesn’t fail for lack of a second but it won’t,” Weld said Thursday evening in an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader. “Everyone I have talked to says you are running as an R, count me in.”

The way to primary Trump is to run to his right and challenge him on failures to keep his promises or just not being good enough at it, not running to his left moaning and crying about what a mean bully he is

Shows you how fundamentally unserious it is.

He'll probably get endorsed by the likes of Benedict Romney, lyin' Paul Ryan, and for sure, Johnny "The postman always rings twice" Kasich.

If a republican can beat Trump in a primary, I would put my money on that person getting elected. The Democrats are too unfocused right now, with no clear leadership. A rational republican could win in this climate.

Weld is a RINO because he is a libertarian.

We need more republicans that think like libertarians.

He has no chance but I wish the republicans would adopt many of his ideas.

Nobody could beat Trump in a GOP primary right now. He has like a 90% approval rating from Republicans

Nobody knows who the frick Bill Weld is

I'm not sure anyone could outflank Trump on either end of the spectrum. Trump will change his position daily, going right, then left, then right again. A republican would be better running as a sane conservative, to keep things on generally the right course but without the batshit insanity. That message could win in the general for sure.

There must be a lot of money to be made in running for potus. This guy has as much of a chance to win the nomination as Toddy Smith does.
