More quotes by William Weld
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 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.
William Weld
Government is never so noble as when it is addressing wrongs.
William Weld
I see a big difference between the Republican candidate and the Democratic candidate.
William Weld
It's not good for government to tell people that the world owes them a living and that things are free.
William Weld
I think government has a major role to play in helping us with the pursuit of happiness.
William Weld
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
We are making our case that we're fiscally responsible and socially inclusive and welcoming. And we think we've got on the merits the best ticket of the three parties, if you will, and so, you know, we'd like to get there.
William Weld
Opposing the free flow of goods or people is a bad idea.
William Weld
People aren't stupid. I mean, people remember in 1990, the unemployment rate was 10 percent. Now it's 4 _ percent. We've got 1/4 million jobs that we've created.
William Weld
If we have major geographic areas within our continent that have a tremendous lack of economic opportunity, we found that that is going to produce instability economic, political and social.
William Weld
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
There are several such issues where I have departed radically from the Republican orthodoxy.
William Weld
Micro managing anything is not a great role for government.
William Weld
I think in the real world that's probably correct. That would give federal matching funds. It would mean no more ballot access woes.
William Weld
[Donald Trump] would be chaos for the country, I think.
William Weld
I think transportation and corrections are not the first two areas that I would go looking for massive change.
William Weld
Nobody can tell me that no changes are necessary in Washington.
William Weld
Gary Johnson was a strong governor.
William Weld
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
