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.

[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.

Government is never so noble as when it is addressing wrongs.

I think government has a major role to play in helping us with the pursuit of happiness.

I see a big difference between the Republican candidate and the Democratic candidate.

I don't understand the Democrats' approach to Social Security in this country, and I'm not alone.

We thought for the longest time we might have a chance to run the table because we're such nice guys and centrist party, etcetera, but not getting into the debates really sort of foreclosed that option.

I think coercive taxation is theft, and government has a moral duty to keep it to a minimum.

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.

I think the dignity of Congress and the dignity of the country demands something more than merely censure here.

It's not good for government to tell people that the world owes them a living and that things are free.
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.

I would just say 2016 is a year when voters have to think for themselves and shouldn`t necessarily take it from the Rs and the Ds in Washington. But you have to vote for me because otherwise the other guy might win. That`s not really very substantive.

My slogan when I ran was that there is no such thing as government money, there is only taxpayer's money, and that cut pretty deep.
William Weld

I think in the real world that's probably correct. That would give federal matching funds. It would mean no more ballot access woes.

Image
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.

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

If we have major geographic areas within our continent that have a tremendous lack of economic opportunity, we found that that is going to produce instability economic, political and social.
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.

We need a complete ban on soft money, which is sort of an enveloping problem, and a ceiling on the amount of money that can be spent on a given race.
