Libertarian VP Weld on Hillary: "I know her to be a person of high moral character, a reliable person, & an honest person"

Original post made by MacArthur, Menlo Park: other, on Nov 2, 2016

Libertarian VP Bill Weld on Trump: "I've been at some pains to say that I fear for the country if Mr. Trump should be elected"

Asked if a hypothetical voter in North Carolina would "pick the Libertarian vote in that case if the stakes are that high between voting for Clinton and Trump?"

“I see a big difference between the R candidate and the D candidate. And I've been at some pains to say that I fear for the country if Mr. Trump should be elected,” Weld replied.

"I’m here vouching for Mrs. Clinton and I think it’s high time somebody did, and I’m doing it based on my personal experience with her and I think she deserves to have people vouch for her other than members of the Democratic National Committee, so I’m here to do that."

“I have known her for 40 years," Weld said of Clinton. "I know her well professionally, I know her well personally.

I know her to be a person of high moral character, a reliable person, and an honest person, however so much Mr. Trump may rant and rave to the contrary. So I’m happy to say that, and people can make their own choices.”

Johnson and Weld are the best choice for our country. Where are the links to the Weld "quotes"?

What happens if no presidential candidate gets 270 Electoral votes?

If no candidate receives a majority of Electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most Electoral votes. Each state delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates with the most Electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President. If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day, the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House.

What will the House of Representatives do?

The man Mr. Hickey calls one of the best choices is telling you to vote for Hillary because Trump is dangerous.

That's wonderful of you, Mr. Hickey, to endorse the first woman president of the United States of America. However, I do disagree with you on Gary "Aleppo" Johnson, who claims he will quit smoking dope if elected.

Alas, we all know Mr. Aleppo slimmest of chances guarentees he will be able to continue his intake of hallucinogens. Fox news: Web Link

The Christian Science Monitor has the Weld transcript endorsing Hillary as "a person of high moral character, a reliable person, & an honest person" (though the quotes are all over the web) Web Link

Meanwhile, the Ku Klux Klan's newspaper endorses Donald Trump. Who says Donald Trump isn't getting any newspaper endorsements? Make America Great Again!

Jack Hickey -- "Johnson and Weld are the best choice for our country."

What country is that? Potlandia?

"What happens if no presidential candidate gets 270 Electoral votes?"

You haven't been keeping track of the campaign lately, have you?

Baked: yes, this one is baked. The Blue Wall That Cannot Be Gerrymandered appears to be holding. Trump needs to win EVERY tossup, plus a blue leaner or two to make it close (ie. Wisconsin - where Clinton is strong.)

As far as not hitting 270, Mr. Hickey is indulging in a little fantasy before the grief hits; McMullin isn't going to take Utah, let alone any other votes. If he took some, they are ones Trump would need to keep Clinton from 270.

Allow the man his little daydream. Nov 9 will be tough enough for about a third of the country that wear blinders. The other ten percent that vote Trump will shrug, as they were willing to look at facts, not fantasy, and prepared for the eventuality.

Hillary >300 EV
Trump <45% PV

Bill Weld is smart. I would vote for him if he was the GOP nominee. He is correct when he says Trump is a lunatic.

The correct vote, the Right vote is for Clinton's conservative foreign policy. Then nominate a real Republican in 4 yeara.

Gary Johnson had the Aleppo moment. He had that tongue in his fingers moment. Literally. He had the "name your favorite leader" fiasco. He had the "name the 3 departments you would eliminate" bomb.

He had the George W Bush, dummies in the back row moment.

Dude has NOT dropped his herb yet. Or he's a dummy. Or both.

Any one who thinks he is presidential is crazy. Sorry, you are wrong and your judgement should be questioned.

Let's not get away from the endorsement:

Libertarian VP Weld on Hillary: "I know her to be a person of high moral character, a reliable person, & an honest person"

The "no one gets 270" scenario would be like drawing to an inside straight. Three hands in a row.

"high moral character and honest"


Has anyone noticed Clinton is under two FBI investigations?

Do you really want a sitting president and her staff attempting to run the country while under a

FBI/DOJ investigation?

Any idea how many legal issues Trump has?

Russia - FBI investigation.

Trump told us he will file 12 lawsuits the day he wins (he won't do either) against the women he molested.

Multiple Trials over Trump University - remember the Mexican judge?

USA Today: “At Least 75 Of The 4,000-Plus Lawsuits Involving Trump And His Businesses Remain Open.”

"On the first anniversary of the start of his presidential campaign, Donald Trump spent much of the day in a setting he knows well — a room full of high-priced lawyers battling out a civil lawsuit.

Trump paused his campaigning June 16 to answer questions under oath in one of his lawsuits against two celebrity chefs."

CNN: Trump Foundation Under Investigation In New York.

The Guardian: Trump Lawyers Ordered To Appear In Court For Allegations Trump Raped 13-Year-Old Girl.

Yahoo! News: U.S. Intelligence Officials Are Examining Ties Between Trump Advisor And Kremlin.

NY Times: Trump University, "A Series Of Seminars Held In Hotels," Faces Three Pending Lawsuits Alleging Misrepresentation.

I feel much better As long as you and Weld are on board

except for the CIA Operatives all over the world that have been compromised by hostile countries hacking clinton's personal server.

the only question is which one of her lackeys wins the race to cooperate and get full immunity before this thing blows up now that Comey has come to his senses. My bet is on Cheryl Mills since they discovered they didn't destroy her computer, or Huma after they go through her 650,000 e-mails,
