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

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.
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
One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.
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.
