William Weld

William Weld
Image
I dare say that a majority of the American people think that having a fair hearing on an issue of importance in our relations with Mexico is extremely important to our national interest, as well as theirs.
William Weld
Image
[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.
William Weld
Image
The best preparation for work is not thinking about work, talking about work, or studying for work: it is work.

I think transportation and corrections are not the first two areas that I would go looking for massive change.
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
I think Hillary Clinton deserves to have people vouch for her other than members of the Democratic National Committee.
William Weld

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.
