How important is proper firearm terminology? It should not be too important.

That was his buddy Gary Johnson, and his interview on the park bench. It was hard to watch, but I voted for them anyway.

Why? Did he cut your benefits?

The business community reacted strongly to Weld's leadership. In a 1994 survey of chief executives conducted by the Massachusetts High Technology Council, 83% of those polled rated the state's business climate as good or excellent—up from only 33% at the beginning of his term. Proponents might claim that Weld's leadership changed the minds of 50% of the CEOs surveyed while others would note the national economic trends or other factors might play a part.

As a result, Weld received grades of A in 1992, B in 1994,and B in 1996 from the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, in their biennial Fiscal Policy Report Card on America's Governors.

During his term, he launched a successful effort to privatize many state's human services, laying off thousands of state employees.

In 1994, Weld won reelection with 71% of the vote in the most one-sided gubernatorial contest in Massachusetts electoral history.

GOP Could Cancel Primaries to Protect Trump From a Challenge

I don't think the state GOP parties can do that without losing their charter.
If one loses it's charter, it cannot remain the official representative of the national party, so it cannot participate in the election for the Republican candidates. It can't endorse or nominate them. Nothing. Zip. Zero.

Bill Weld is representative of a Republican Party that no longer exists. They’re Political Orphans now.
