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.

The courts are truly the least dangerous of the three branches of our government.
William Weld

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.

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
Before my tenure, people didn't seem to think that citizens had a right to limit the size of their government.
William Weld
Image
I think in the real world that's probably correct. That would give federal matching funds. It would mean no more ballot access woes.
William Weld
Image
Gary Johnson was a strong governor.
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.

Managing people's sex lives is something that I don't think is a good role for government.
