Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld: I'd vote for Joe Biden 'in a heartbeat' against President Trump

One of President Donald Trump’s Republican challengers says he’d vote for Joe Biden “in a heartbeat” against Trump in the 2020 general election.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Bill Weld says, "Could I vote for a Democrat? Hell yes. If it's Trump against Joe Biden, I'm with Biden in a heartbeat."

Weld's comments came during an appearance at the CITIZEN by CNN conference. He was joined onstage by former South Carolina governor and congressman Mark Sanford and former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh. They are also seeking the Republican presidential nomination against Trump.

Weld says he'd never support Trump "for any office under any circumstances" but could "very well" support a third-party candidate.

I got another text from the Sanders campaign asking me to phone bank.

I could not reply. There is only a link to a sign up page,

That is another reason I don’t like Bernie. I have never given my phone number to that campaign.

However he is not the worst one MA ever had. He has a few redeeming qualities. He spoke up for our Sanctuary cities as well and said he would help fund them.

I know, a repuke but somewhere inside him is a small amount of soul.

but they are rare finds. At least Weld is correct on this particular issue--he even said that he would vote for Warren over Trump too.

He must be pissed. Lol...even Warren?! Hot dayum.

Good to know a few repukes have some heart and not all are soulless bastards.

Thanks. TT.
