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.

I think transportation and corrections are not the first two areas that I would go looking for massive change.

[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
Image
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
Image
People aren't stupid. I mean, people remember in 1990, the unemployment rate was 10 percent. Now it's 4 _ percent. We've got 1/4 million jobs that we've created.

Micro managing anything is not a great role for government.
William Weld
