[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.
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
-
The unemployment rate is still twice as high for blacks as for whites.
William Weld -
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 -
Government is never so noble as when it is addressing wrongs.
William Weld -
There's no Walter Cronkite to give you the final word each evening.
William Weld -
[James Comey] should have gone to the Public Integrity section and said 'What do you folks think.' It's a little bit of an odd situation because he's a former deputy attorney general as well as head of the FBI so he may have trouble keeping on only the investigator hat forgetting that he's a former deputy attorney general. So it's not a good thing, it's a distraction so I think we should just ignore it because there's nothing there so get on with the business of last week of the election.
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
-
I talk with Gary [Johnson] every other day, we're on different coasts usually but we keep in touch and - yeah, no I do not agree with that release.
William Weld -
I think transportation and corrections are not the first two areas that I would go looking for massive change.
William Weld -
Before my tenure, people didn't seem to think that citizens had a right to limit the size of their government.
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 -
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
-
I think the dignity of Congress and the dignity of the country demands something more than merely censure here.
William Weld -
There are several such issues where I have departed radically from the Republican orthodoxy.
William Weld -
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 -
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.
William Weld -
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.
William Weld -
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.
William Weld
-
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 -
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 -
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 -
I have come to realize that Jesse Helms stands for everything in politics that is anathema to me.
