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.

William Weld
Image
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.

Natural resources are so vast that no single individual or business is going to protect them they don't have an incentive to.
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.

It's completely idiot proof. I told them they've got it all wrong. I want a machine that is idiot friendly.
