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

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.

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

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.

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.

[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.
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 courts are truly the least dangerous of the three branches of our government.
William Weld
Image
So government acts as a safeguard of our property.

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

Gary Johnson was a strong governor.
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.
William Weld
Image
Nobody can tell me that no changes are necessary in Washington.
William Weld
Image
I think it would be a threat [Donald's Trump presidency] to the conduct of our foreign policy and our position in the world at large.
William Weld

Government can contribute to a shared sense of purpose on the part of the citizenry that's its highest and best application.

I think Hillary Clinton deserves to have people vouch for her other than members of the Democratic National Committee.
