It's healthy for government to be a kind of moral catalyst, using the bully pulpit of high office.
William Weld
Image
Liberals often don't see the problems, and conservatives don't see the promise, of government.
William Weld
Image
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
Image
I mean that psychologically. I think [Donald Trump] showed in the debates when he encounters criticism or challenge he behaves the way a bully would. He just doesn't take it well.
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.

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

Image
Managing people's sex lives is something that I don't think is a good role for government.
William Weld
Image
It's completely idiot proof. I told them they've got it all wrong. I want a machine that is idiot friendly.
William Weld
Image
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
Image
Government can contribute to a shared sense of purpose on the part of the citizenry that's its highest and best application.
William Weld
Image
Micro managing anything is not a great role for government.
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.
William Weld
Image
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.
