One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.
William Weld
Image
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
Image
Gary Johnson and I have a good platform of having been fiscally conservative and we`re socially inclusive. And that`s different from both the other parties. The voters have a right to see that choice to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. That doesn`t describe either of the other parties.

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

[Donald Trump] would be chaos for the country, I think.
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
I don't understand the Democrats' approach to Social Security in this country, and I'm not alone.
William Weld
Image
Micro managing anything is not a great role for government.
William Weld

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
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.
William Weld
Image
So government acts as a safeguard of our property.
William Weld
Image
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.

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