More quotes by 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
It's completely idiot proof. I told them they've got it all wrong. I want a machine that is idiot friendly.
William Weld
You know in fairness Gary [Johnson] and I have not agreed on a number of substantive issues in this campaign, tax policy, we've had some influence on each other, I think I've had some influence on him, on constructive engagement around the world, he's had some influence on me in criminal justice reform issues.
William Weld
I think it would be a threat [Donald's Trump presidency] to the conduct of our foreign policy and our position in the world at large.
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
I think Hillary Clinton deserves to have people vouch for her other than members of the Democratic National Committee.
William Weld
The system that had grown up in most states is that wealthy districts with an affluent population can afford to spend a lot more on their public school systems than the poorer districts.
William Weld
Gary Johnson and I have a good platform of having been fiscally conservative and we`re socially inclusive. And that`s different from both the other parties. The voters have a right to see that choice to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. That doesn`t describe either of the other parties.
William Weld
I don't understand the Democrats' approach to Social Security in this country, and I'm not alone.
William Weld
[Donald Trump] doesn't deal well with criticism and blame and I don't think he could competently manage the office of the presidency given the criticism and challenge that you face every single day as the President of the United States.
William Weld
Government has a role as well in what is referred to as redistributive justice.
William Weld
We are making our case that we're fiscally responsible and socially inclusive and welcoming. And we think we've got on the merits the best ticket of the three parties, if you will, and so, you know, we'd like to get there.
William Weld
I think the dignity of Congress and the dignity of the country demands something more than merely censure here.
William Weld
I suggest to you that increasing the size of America's economic pie - which can be achieved only if everybody has a seat at the table - is the most important challenge facing our country today.
William Weld
Government is never so noble as when it is addressing wrongs.
William Weld
Managing people's sex lives is something that I don't think is a good role for government.
William Weld
I think Gary Johnson was probably expressing frustration at a series of pop quizzes. He actually was more authoritative on what to do in Syria before the Aleppo moment than any of the other candidates. And I think he called it about right. There is too many different rebel groups there. And it`s a terribly confused situation.
William Weld
There are several such issues where I have departed radically from the Republican orthodoxy.
William Weld
Speaking of tax fairness, it was Senator Kerry who voted to increase the income tax on senior citizens on Social Security, earning as little as $32,000 a year.
