Long-shot Republican presidential primary candidate Bill Weld sees a way to make it through the primaries – News@Northeastern

If the ongoing impeachment inquiry were to result in the early departure of President Donald Trump, how would his absence affect the 2020 election? In that unlikely event, who would be the replacement Republican candidate?

It has suddenly become a relevant issue, argued Bill Weld, the former Massachusetts governor who has emerged as Trumps leadingand entirely long-shotRepublican challenger.

Lets say it happens the day after Super Tuesday, Weld told an audience of on Northeasterns Boston campus on Wednesday. I would become the only guy standing.

On a night when millions of Americans were watching 10 Democratic candidates debate impeachment, immigration, and health care, Weld was offering his vision of a Republican race turned upside-down at the Myra Kraft Open Classroom, which has been holding weekly events to explore the nuanced relationship between the media and the presidential primaries. The series, named after the late philanthropist and wife of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, is organized by the School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs.

Polls show that Trump is facing minimal opposition on the Republican side from his lone opponents, Weld and Joe Walsh, a 57-year-old conservative radio show host and former Tea Party congressman from Illinois. But the race would be thrown into chaos if Trump were to leave office, as unlikely as that seems. Weld said that the deadlines for entering state primaries would be closed by March 3, otherwise known as Super Tuesday, when Republican ballots will have been cast in 17 states overall.

There are legal deadlines for filing, Weld said. People think, oh well, if Trump goes, then [Vice President] Mike Pence becomes the nominee. No. He becomes the acting president. But he does not become the nominee, because you have to have delegates to become the nominee, and he would miss all the deadlines.

Even if Weld ended up winning most of the remaining states in the event of Trumps absence, he acknowledged he would still face huge challenges to become his partys nominee. He envisioned that new candidates would emerge during what would, in this scenario, be a raucous and unpredictable Republican convention next summer.

I think you would see a colossal war around the convention, with a lot of other people popping up, and changes of rules retroactively, Weld said. But in terms of a Ted Cruz or a Marco Rubio getting in even one day after Super Tuesday and saying I want to join Weld as an active candidate in the primaries, its too late. So thats a prospect that actually doesnt cause me any discomfort.

Weld, 74, was known as a social liberal and fiscal conservative during his two popular terms as Massachusetts governor from 1991 to 1997. He launched his career as a junior counsel on the U.S. House Judiciary Committees impeachment inquiry staff during the investigation of Richard Nixon, who resigned as president in 1974 when he realized he was going to be impeached.

Weld ran for vice president in 2016 as a Libertarian alongside presidential nominee Gary Johnson. Together, they received 3.3 percent of the vote.

Weld has been pushing for Trumps removal from office as House Democrats continue with public impeachment hearings involving allegations that the president withheld military funding in order to coerce Ukraine into investigating Democratic candidate Joe Biden. He expressed surprise that a large majority of Republican voters continue to back Trump in this era of polarized politics.

All I can tell you is Im not a member of that party in Washington, D.C., that calls itself the Republican Party, Weld said. Its a stranger to everything I was brought up with or raised to believe in.

Weld spoke on behalf of a number of policies that clash with those of the current administration. He wants the U.S. to issue more visas to provide labor for agriculture, construction, tourism, and other industries. He would seek economic negotiations with China that could help both countries, he would increase funding for mental health, and he would treat addictions as public-health emergencies rather than criminal behaviors. To combat climate change, he favors a fee on carbon users that would be remitted to tax-payerswith the rebates weighted to help lower-income households that have been left behind in this era of increasing wealth disparity.

As the Democrats were preparing for their nationally-televised debate Wednesday night, Weld said he would especially like to challenge Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, whom he characterized as pro-government and anti-business.

You cant take that position to be elected president in the United States of America, Weld said of Warren. Were a slightly right-of-center countryslightly right of center. And that just wont fly.

The Jolt: On God, the devil, and Donald Trump – Atlanta Journal Constitution

Over the weekend,the man who remains secretary of energy reported that he has assured Donald Trump that the president was indeed the Chosen One.

Rick Perry was alsoqueried by Fox News about his role as one of three amigos in the current Ukraine saga, but given his membership in the Cabinet, his theological views are also important.Said the former Texas governor:

God has used imperfect people all through history. King David wasnt perfect. Saul wasnt perfect. Solomon wasnt perfect. And I actually gave the president a little one-pager on those Old Testament kings about a month ago.

I said, Mr. President, I know there are people that say you said you were the Chosen One. I said, You were. I said, if youre a believing Christian, you understand Gods plan for the people who rule and judge over us on this planet in our government.

A Fox News host assured us that Perry believes God to be bipartisan, and that He also chose Barack Obama as a good fit to lead the country from 2009 to 2017.

Perrys more secular message was twofold. First, the interview was a signal that he had no plans to roll on Trump in the ongoing U.S. House inquiry into the presidents alleged pay-to-play scheme aimed at the president of Ukraine -- i.e., trading dirt on Joe Biden in exchange for $400 million in military aid.

Secondly, Perry was explaining to white evangelical Christians yet again why they need not worry about the occasional revelation that Trump has feet of clay.

Theologically speaking,one of the better Twitter reactionscame from Erick Erickson, who has put in some seminary time:

It isn't a controversial opinion to say God chose Trump. It's scriptural. God ultimately gives us our leaders. He also gives us plagues. But God put Obama into leadership and then Trump. He also sends locusts and turns rivers to blood.

In other words, we have the free will to think of Donald Trump as either a King David or a swarm of locusts. Erickson expounds on the topic this morning ina post on The Resurgent.

In fact, if you want to worry about the state of evangelical Christianity as it engages American politics, the video clip that should concern youwas posted on YouTube last Thursday.It was an interview of the Rev. Franklin Graham, son of Billy, by Salem Radio Network host Eric Metaxas.

The pair declared that, not only can one support President Trump and remain godly, but opposition to the president has satanic origins. (Note to Alan Abramowitz at Emory University: This strikes us as the highest form of negative partisanship your past research has outlined.) A rough transcript:

Metaxas: Its a very bizarre situation, to be living in a country where some people seem to exist to undermine the president of the United States. Its just a bizarre time for most Americans.

Graham:I believe its almost a demonic power that is trying.

Metaxas: I would disagree. Its not almost demonic. You know and I know at the heart its a spiritual battle.

Graham: Its a spiritual battle. If you look at what the president has done, just for our country. Regardless of whether youre a Republican or a Democrat, unemployment is at the lowest in 70 years. More African-Americans are working, more Latinos are working, more Asians are working more everybody is working.

We have an economy thats just screaming forward.

Graham then engaged in a little prosperity reasoning:

Heres what that does for churches, for Christians. That means more people are working, so theres more people tithing and giving to the churches.

Theres more money for missions. Theres more money for your building programs. All of this is because Donald Trump said he was going to turn things around and make America great again.

The worried reactionfrom Peter Wehner at The Atlantic:

Graham and Metaxas appear to believe that they, along with Donald Trump, are part of a holy crusade to rid the world of evil, wickedness, and demonic powers. What they are saying in their interview is that you either stand with them, or you stand with the forces of Satan.

There is no middle ground.

This mind-set is not new, but it is dangerous. Among other things, it leaves no room for thedemocratic virtue of compromiseafter all, how can you compromise with those animated by demonic powers?or epistemological humility. It makes learning from others who hold different views almost impossible. It also treats critics of Trump, Christian and non-Christian alike, not as fellow citizens but as agents of Satan.

Tea Party Patriotsco-founder Jenny Beth Martin couldnt have been more blunt: As Governor Kemp finalizes his thoughts on whom he should select to replace Sen. Isakson, we have two words for him: Doug Collins.

With her statement Monday, Martins group became thelatest conservative organization pushing Kemp to appoint the four-term congressman over business executive Kelly Loeffler or some other candidate.

Her statement pointed out, like others, that Loeffler donated to a pro-Mitt Romney super PAC in 2012 but nothing to Donald Trumps 2016 campaign. (Shes since given at least $100,000 to support his re-election.)

Appointing Ms. Loeffler to the U.S. Senate wouldnt just be promoting a liberal to replace a conservative, it would make a mockery of those who cast votes for Sen. Isakson, Gov. Kemp, and President Trump, she said.

Meanwhile,over at InsiderAdvantage, Phil Kentnotes that when Loeffler was considering a U.S. Senate run in 2013, for the seat eventually won by David Perdue, she expressed a wide spectrum of conservative views ranging from the repeal of Obamacare and control of illegal immigration to a pro-life position. Yet Kent adds this:

But that was then, and this is now. As the governor continues to bide his time in making an appointment, opponents of Collins and Loeffler are attacking one another especially on social media. If the governor is going to maintain Republican unity going into 2020, when the president and Perdue are also running for re-election, he must make up his mind soon.

The political armof the Republicans in the U.S. Senate are using sharp language to describe Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff: Liar. But the GOP group cant point to any outright falsehood from the contender.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee last weekfired off a tweet claiming that Ossoff lied about his resume and lied about his national security clearance.

When asked for proof, the groups spokesman pointed to aWashington Post fact check from the 2017 special election that delved into whether Ossoff inflated his credentials. Exceptthe piece didnt describe a lie.

Instead, it questioned whether he is pushing the envelope by referencing his five years of experience as a national security staffer in Congress in the same sentence as he mentioned his top secret security clearance.From the story:

He appears very careful to not connect the two elements in one sentence, but his statements and ads might leave an impression that the 30-year-old held a security clearance for longer than five months.

It concluded:

We take a reasonable-person approach here at The Fact Checker. Would an ordinary viewer understand that Ossoffs clearance was for less than half a year? Not very likely. Moreover, declaring himself a senior national security staffer is also a bit too much rsum puffery.

Republicans leveled a similar attack against Ossoff in 2017, prompting his campaign to issue a timeline of when he got the clearance. At the time, we couldfind no evidence that he made false claims about how long he had the status.

Our AJC colleagueRodney Ho has a piece outon Stacey Abrams new venture: Shes developing a TV show for CBS based on her 2004 book Never Tell about a linguistics professor and investigative journalist who team up to solve crimes.

A bill decriminalizing marijuana was approved by the U.S. House Judiciary Committee last week. U.S. Rep. Doug Collins voted no on the bill, criticizing Democrats on the process if not the policy itself. Collins said there arealternative proposals that he supports.

The bill is nearly devoid of bipartisan support and it fails to address many critical issues surrounding the cultivation, distribution, sale and use of marijuana, Collins, R-Gainesville, said.

The Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act of 2019, orMORE Act, would remove marijuana from the federal governments list of controlled substances, require federal courts to expunge previous convictions for certain marijuana offenses and authorize a 5% tax on marijuana sales.

Considered to be the first time a congressional committee passed legislation tolegalize marijuana nationally, the panel voted 24-10 to approve. The two Georgia Democrats on the panel -- U.S. Rep. Lucy McBath of Marietta and U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson of Lithonia -- supported the bill.

Johnson is listed as a bill cosponsor. McBath said she supported the MORE Act to encourage more research on the therapeutic uses of marijuana so that additional states can decide if they want to legalize the drug.

The bill is now eligible for a vote on the House floor. However, even if it is approved in the chamber the U.S. Senate is unlikely to take it up.

Two watchdog groups have combined forces and created a third entity focused on the state Public Service Commission.

The Georgia PSC Accountability Project said it will start by publishing videos explaining why more citizen oversight is needed at the PSC, a state body of five elected members that decides what Georgians pay on their energy bills. Lobbyist gifts and campaign contributions to PSC commissioners will also be monitored and publicized.

The project is a joint initiative by the Georgia Conservation Voters and the Georgia Ethics Watchdogs. Their announcement came on the same day the PSC held a public hearing on Georgia Powers request to increase its rates.

Summer is the perfect time to host a tea party for your little girl. Or to host a birthday tea party for the little princess in your life.

I was just telling my oldest granddaughter Hailey how I have always wanted to host a garden tea party for all the grandchildren. I asked her if she would ever want to have a tea party birthday party.

She wasnt too impressed with the idea. Its a good thing I have two other granddaughters to talk into the idea.

If the granddaughters dont warm up to the idea I may just have to host an adult tea party instead. Tea parties arent just for the kids you know.

I bet when I ever get around to hosting my tea party the granddaughters will be highly insulted when they arent invited. Maybe they should have gone along with grammys tea party idea.

Most of these girl tea party menu ideas would work fine for a ladies tea party menu too.
