Hmmmm?
That leaves on Bill Weld on the record against Trump….
Amash could be thinking of making a go and I just posted up on a possible Nikkie Haley run…
Stay tuned…
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, who was considering an insurgent White House bid that would have championed traditional GOP values, will not challenge President Trump for the Republican Party’s 2020 nomination.
“I’m not going to be a candidate for president in 2020,” Hogan said in an interview.
Hogan’s choice dashes the political hopes of Trump’s leading GOP critics, who have wooed the popular Maryland governor for months and connected him with key players in early voting states. The decision also comes as other top Republicans are shying away from jumping into the presidential fray.
While Hogan acknowledged that Trump’s enduring popularity with most Republicans would have been difficult to overcome, he said his decision was driven by his desire to govern without being pulled into an unpredictable political maelstrom that would keep him away from Annapolis….

With Hogan and Kasich both staying out it looks like Bill Weld will be the only GOP challenger to Trump.
Unless Justin Amash gets in, but my guess is he runs for the Libertarian nomination instead.
Someone SERIOUSLY challenging Trump will be a long shot un less Trump’s trade war begins to hurt things….
His illegality seems untouchable for now….
I agree.
Weld will be the sacrificial lamb.The anti Trump Republicans (what few there are) can cast their symbolic protest votes
I don’t See Amash running for the GOP nomination. If he was going to do that, his impeachment talk would have been less emphatic – at least for now.
I agree that odds are high he runs for the Libertarian nomination. If he does do that I would guess he will announce soon to give more time to get his message out.
Amash might take enough votes away from Trump for the Democrats to win Michigan. Last time Trump won there by something like 30,000 votes.
We’ll take THAT Z!
