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.

I`m an old duck hunter. I like to go hunting where the ducks are. We`re looking for votes. I think maybe poaching some of those soft Donald Trump Republican votes would be the place to go.

[Donald Trump] would be chaos for the country, I think.
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.

In the nineteenth century, slavery was the greatest wrong, and government never stood so tall as when it was redressing that wrong.

[Donald Trump] doesn't deal well with criticism and blame and I don't think he could competently manage the office of the presidency given the criticism and challenge that you face every single day as the President of the United States.

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.
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.

I see a big difference between the Republican candidate and the Democratic candidate.

My slogan when I ran was that there is no such thing as government money, there is only taxpayer's money, and that cut pretty deep.

You know in fairness Gary [Johnson] and I have not agreed on a number of substantive issues in this campaign, tax policy, we've had some influence on each other, I think I've had some influence on him, on constructive engagement around the world, he's had some influence on me in criminal justice reform issues.

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