    Look at your post.... (bolding and embiggenization mine)

    And a slight twist in 2020. It looks like Trump may face a primary challenge.

    I have mixed feelings.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        And somebody opposing Trump "in the primary" implies they're opposing him in his same party.

          And it is certainly impossible for someone who ran as a libertarian in a previous election to do it again if (when) they lose the primary...

                So I repeat....who says he's not going to?

                After all, you're talking about a man who is apparently going to primary a Republican with an 80%+ approval rating among Republicans. "Probability of winning" is apparently a factor in his equations.

                  Given that our electorate is stupid/polarized/undiscriminating enough to elect Trump...I'd say the two of you have a chance!

But hopefully he'll make some of that 20%- think.... and perhaps vote against Trump in the general election. Trump's base is not enough get him elected. He needs moderates and some of those unhappy Republicans.
                        If Democrats keep promoting abortions up to the last possible instance (and even after birth), guaranteeing economic security to those unwilling to work, banning cars and planes, banning meat and being more concerned with helping illegal immigrants than they are American citizens Trump will almost certainly be reelected.

                            • Actually, I think there is a fairly good chance that Weld, when he loses the primary, will run in the general election as a "spoiler." After all - he has some very anti-trump views. If he can't (and he won't) take Trump out via the primaries, he just might try to do it via the general election.
