More quotes by William Weld
We're getting to the point where we're impinging on democratic institutions in this country and I think, you know, it takes a certain - not a suspension of disbelief - but willingness to go along with other people to get the ship of state going forward. I'm not sure that happens in a [Donald] Trump presidency, frankly.
William Weld
I talk with Gary [Johnson] every other day, we're on different coasts usually but we keep in touch and - yeah, no I do not agree with that release.
William Weld
[Donald Trump] would be chaos for the country, I think.
William Weld
The courts are truly the least dangerous of the three branches of our government.
William Weld
Opposing the free flow of goods or people is a bad idea.
William Weld
[Donald Trump] just would not be in his element and I think he would wobble off course and I think the country just can't have that.
William Weld
I`m a member of Societies of Former World Leaders. And I`ve always been sort of in favor of constructive engagement around the world. And Gary Johnson has influenced me on criminal justice reform. I think I had some influence in discussions with him about the approach to international affairs.
William Weld
Government is never so noble as when it is addressing wrongs.
William Weld
I have come to realize that Jesse Helms stands for everything in politics that is anathema to me.
William Weld
I`m an old duck hunter. I like to go hunting where the ducks are. We`re looking for votes. I think maybe poaching some of those soft Donald Trump Republican votes would be the place to go.
William Weld
It's healthy for government to be a kind of moral catalyst, using the bully pulpit of high office.
William Weld
I mean that psychologically. I think [Donald Trump] showed in the debates when he encounters criticism or challenge he behaves the way a bully would. He just doesn't take it well.
William Weld
Gary Johnson was a strong governor.
William Weld
Liberals often don't see the problems, and conservatives don't see the promise, of government.
William Weld
I think Gary Johnson is just in the wrong place trying to be President of the United States. And that`s not a secret. I do not view those other two candidates, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton the same way. I think very highly of Mrs. Clinton. I think she is very well qualified.
William Weld
We speak for all citizens of the Commonwealth when we say that society can draw great hope for the future because of the example which these young people are giving by their creative and constructive responses to the challenges which confront our communities and dedication to help those most in need.
William Weld
I think government has a major role to play in helping us with the pursuit of happiness.
William Weld
I think the dignity of Congress and the dignity of the country demands something more than merely censure here.
William Weld
I've been at some pains to say that I fear for the country if Mr.[DonALD] Trump should be elected. I think it's a candidacy without any parallel that I can recall.
William Weld
I think Gary Johnson would be capable of being a good chief executive and yes a commander in chief - Aleppo to the contrary, notwithstanding.
William Weld
