As a registered independent in New Hampshire, I intend to pick up a Republican primary ballot and vote for Bill Weld for president. I encourage all independents and Republicans to do the same. I don’t agree with many of his policy positions, but he is at least intelligent, moderate, experienced and, most important, a potential real disrupter of the “Trumplican” party that has abandoned all pretense of governing in any meaningful way.

Trump’s Soviet-style demands that he be the only candidate on Republican primary ballots across the country, and the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld that decision.

A major vote for, or even outright victory for Weld could become a cascading catalyst for the remaining genuine Republicans to abandon the party of Trump in mass and restore some semblance of sanity to the legislative branch of the U.S. government.
