[Lnc-business] Weld Developments

Mon Feb 4 23:27:28 EST 2019

I have the feeling this is just more media frenzying.  I don't believe Weld intends to leave the LP, and even if he does... having him in the Republican Primary debates is one way to get a "third party" into the debates... HA! 

Let's focus on how we can make the media work for us.  Here is a real opportunity to get them talking about us.  We don't want to be reactive.  We should have statements ready for release for either circumstances.
