Weld It Shut, Bill!

Temporary LibertarianNoteworthy un-conservative erstwhile Republican and temporary Libertarian, Bill Weld, is shape-shifting again, in an attempt to remain in the news this election season. According to The Boston Globe, Weld has dedicated himself to stopping Trump for the balance of the 2016 election season.

All about himself:

The Libertarian vice presidential candidate, William F. Weld, said Tuesday that he plans to focus exclusively on blasting Donald Trump over the next five weeks, a strategic pivot aimed at denying Trump the White House and giving himself a key role in helping to rebuild the GOP[e].

What is a Leppo?

[Libertarian nominee Gary] Johnson has committed several high-profile gaffes in recent weeks that revealed apparent weak spots in his foreign-policy knowledge……..

At one point, Weld strategists researched Libertarian Party rules to see if it were possible for him to take over the top of the ticket. The rules state the vice presidential nominee automatically assumes the presidential spot if there is a vacancy. But Johnson, peeved at the suggestion, flatly rejected the idea.

(Picked yourself a great partner there, Gary!)

Sore Losers club together?

While Weld insisted he still supports Johnson, he said he is now interested primarily in blocking Trump from winning the presidency and then potentially working with longtime Republican leaders such as Mitt Romney and Haley Barbour to create a new path for the party after the election.

In other words, yet another attempt by the “proper people” to banish conservatives from the party, and consign themselves to minority status as long as they get to share in the spoils of government right up to the final implosion!

Yup, Weld it shut, Bill!
