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.

Image
I've been at some pains to say that I fear for the country if Mr.[DonALD] Trump should be elected. I think it's a candidacy without any parallel that I can recall.

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
We need a complete ban on soft money, which is sort of an enveloping problem, and a ceiling on the amount of money that can be spent on a given race.
William Weld
Image
It's healthy for government to be a kind of moral catalyst, using the bully pulpit of high office.
William Weld
Image
Natural resources are so vast that no single individual or business is going to protect them they don't have an incentive to.
William Weld
Image
Before my tenure, people didn't seem to think that citizens had a right to limit the size of their government.
William Weld
Image
The best preparation for work is not thinking about work, talking about work, or studying for work: it is work.

Gary Johnson was a strong governor.

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.
