deidrefolkman1 NO SHIT SHERLOCK. WHEN DID YOU FINALLY DECIDE THAT

Dangerously anti-democratic! What are they afraid of, he won’t get 100% of the votes otherwise? If I were a Republican, (🤮) I’d be questioning this authoritarian move by the leadership. Not another penny for a dictatorship!

Why waste the time and money for 3 losers

Gov Weld is there some way those of u running as Republicans have a question and answer together being asked questions by maybe the Media. This way People will see that each of u r more qualified n knowledge of our country & our needs then Trump he can't c past money.

Is this is allowed to happen, what next? One name on the ballot for the office of the Presidency. This is supposed to happen only in countries with dictators, not in countries to claim to be a democracy. Maybe we tell the Republicans this is how it works.

😃😄😁😆😅😂🤣 The Democrats already did this years ago! So save your BS GovBillWeld They cleared the way for Obama; the anointed one. You never had a chance with realDonaldTrump . Who are you kidding? You're a joke!

LMAO....I harly think a BUNCH OF CRIMINAL NARCISSISTIC DEVIANT THUGS are concerned with democracy....lol I could be wrong...but I don't think that was EVER some guiding principle...

GOPs definition of democracy.. hey just call it the Nationalist Party, cause there is nothing Republican about it.

Is he just waking up to the fact that the GOP is anti-democracy.

Take those SOBs to court.

GovBillWeld step down buddy your past your use by date..

The cheating was never a problem before it started to effect you.

So is voter suppression which is a favorite of the GOP. Weld doesn’t get my sympathy now that some of *his* supporters can’t vote because of GOP dirty politics.

He got the tip from Putin

More Fake News More Left Wing Propaganda Sickening

Talk about “Righing the System;” this corruption at its worst! If realDonaldTrump weren’t as weak and afraid as he obviously is, this would NEVER occur in a democracy OR an honest republic. The GOP can learn from the UK’s example where real leaders are not cowed by their party.

If they drop the primaries then WHOEVER the Dem candidate is needs to POUND HOME THE MESSAGE that TRUMP'S OWN PARTY has such LITTLE CONFIDENCE in him they don't even think he'd win GOP nomination! They shouldn't have confidence in him as president!

Trump and his party are NOT republicans! That's a DICTATORSHIP! trump has his supporters so freaking brainwashed they won't even try to listen to the truth. Trump supporters are so freaking brainwashed to the truth they are trying to rewrite the Holy Bible.

Dictatorship comes from the Green New Deal and Universal Health Care. Socialism now who is the party for this, LIBERAL Democrat Party Bingo!!!!

True. Much better to have fake ones that are rigged right ?

Everything about Trump is 'Anti-Democracy'! And now Donald Trump is the GOP! The GOP has sold it's collective soul to that Treasonous POS and they deserve to go down with him!

Absolutely. The Kleptocrat way. No one opposing. This would be a major mistake. No other Republican allowed to run against that little fuehrer? It may be time to abolish the Republican party, and begin a new American Party.

The .GOP will regret this in the end for supporting the disgusting immoral novalues noethics lying pieceofcrap from scum known as .realDonaldTrump. .GovBillWeld is right it is antidemocracy. TheResistance GOPSucks voteGOPout in 2020 resist Resistance indivisible

The GOP is anti-democracy

Whatever. Lame.

When did gop care about democracy?

Primaries are a Waste of Money 💰💰💰💰💰💰 Let the Democrats waste theirs !! Weld has no chance

Who’s he?

Bill who

Would anyone want to live in a state that cancelled the primary that allowed you to support the candidate of your choice? Is that voter suppression or just plain manipulation of the vote?

PrincessBravato Both parties do it all the time. This here is fake news.

mamalocaz Yep! He should run as a write in.

They know Trump will lose if challenged.

Don't we know that?

This new GOP is kind of like the new evangelicals. Both are based on a solid core of principles but both are a perversion of the original. Christianity is not evangelicals nor is the new GOP the Republican Party.

If there are primary challengers signed up, each state must hold a primary! FEC, please get involved!

Gop/kkk are running scared.

Maybe they just thought it would be a waste of time and money...Mr. Who-are-you?

If the Dem/Coms ever did away with the EC we wouldn’t have any primaries in either party!

What's new when you let a businessman into the White House. That is bad at being a businessman you get what you get a jerk. And all you 🐑 keep doing is bahh bahh! Stop talking and do I see no making America great again from this guy at all.

He is correct!

lotusblossum163 It is. This is exactly what the Republicans feared a short wight years ago. Now the part that once stood for character, values, law and order, fiscal responsibility, stands for...what? RIP_GOP

The last time the Republican Party believed in democracy was when Eisenhower was president

And in plain sight.

True

B I N G O!

Trump has done many things that would have caused any other president to be impeached and kicked out of office. The republican control of the senate is the roadblock. That needs to end. Vote the republican idiots out of office.

Trump is using the office of President to make money for his totally failing businesses. He forces the secret service to pay to stay at his hotels and resorts and also forced some Air Force crews to stay at his failing resort hotel in Ireland. Impeach Trump.

william99080063 Fake. No cancellation of primaries. Made up story to urge an emotional response from the reader. Think for yourself people. Do your own homework.

News flash: the Republicans don’t believe in democracy.

Democrats let candidates run (although not all can join the debates), but the outcome is stil predetermined. It’s the guise of democracy. It’s just as much the DNC Party as it is the GOP

Bill who?

He’s right

Nah...Just anti-Bill Weld!...

That's who they are

Republicans have shown time after time.. that nothing is too low..Democracy be damned

Conventional reasoning draws on the fact that the Republican vote stays united behind Trump. I'm thinking it's a risky move for Republicans. If there is no moderate-to-conservative alternative to Trump, that means Democrats stand to gain the votes of even some never-trumpers.

Bill looks like he just left a meth party😳

Yeah...now that Trump's people have finally done something that affects *them*...

StillJohnCA No surprise, his goal has always been to destroy our democracy!

Kinda remember a democratic candidate stealing the primary from someone a few years back...

Uhuh, lol.. been there done that.

If the RNC cancels primaries in certain states and eliminates Republican challengers, this could actually help Democrats win the White House. Without Republican challengers, never-trumper former Republicans only have the option of either voting Democratic or staying home.

okie doke

Of course it is! Trump is Anti-Democracy!

Uh Bill, you never had a chance. Don't let the Left/MSM egg you on. You know they hate your guts simply because you're a Republican. You're on MSDNC? They hate you! I think you're ok. You should help POTUS instead. Get something done. God knows the congress won't.

Exactly. Because the GOP is the anti-Democratic Party aka Fascist Party.

Says the guy whose chances are a Snowball in Hell !! Wants the GOP to waste Money !!

And he would be correct.

They know if Trump opponents get any percentage, GOP voters will starts believing that it's ok to not want Trump.

Of course, Republicans like winning. They love winning. They just don't like competition. In fact, they're afraid of competition. They are such a bunch of wimps.

This guy is nuts

It is, it is a business takeover of government, our Republic is at threat from those that war for profit...

senatemajldr Knowingly putting America elections at risk leaving a back door open so Russia can interfere can't he be facing repercussions he's violating his oath to let a foreign entity gain access to help a man who don't reveal his taxes due to crimes

Why is this man even a republican anymore?

YOU PEOPLE should have been speaking up against this dangerous trump moron for 959 days.

Bill, Meet GOP GOP, Meet Bill

Don't get me wrong I like bill weld but how come all of sudden the liberal media likes him. The liberal media threw him and Gary Johnson to the wolves in 2016 because the liberal media so badly wanted HillaryClinton to win.

They will trample everything in America and ruin-- Just so their party can win and they 'stop Trump'
