Micro managing anything is not a great role for government.

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
[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
Image
Liberals often don't see the problems, and conservatives don't see the promise, of government.

Nobody can tell me that no changes are necessary in Washington.
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
Image
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
Image
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.
William Weld
Image
I don't understand the Democrats' approach to Social Security in this country, and I'm not alone.
William Weld
Image
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
Image
Do we believe that there is equal economic opportunity out there in the real world, right now, for each and every one of these groups? If we believed in the tooth fairy, if we believed in the Easter Bunny, we might well believe that.
William Weld
Image
Donald Trump behaving like a wild man. I mean, I just can`t imagine that people want a human tornado sitting in the oval office.
