missing littles bears
I kinda miss Donald Trump, he was a little teddy bear to me.
thinking interviews half
Half of the interview is substantive and half of it I think is sizing the person up.
winning order election
We've got to be willing to lose the primary in order to win the general election.
religious office tests
The United States Constitution is clear. It prohibits religious tests for public office.
isis world needs
We need a strategy to destroy ISIS there. You can't do that without the cooperation of the Muslim world because they're as threatened as we are.
country couple kids
A third of our kids, after we spend more per student than any country in the world other than a couple rounding errors, 30 percent are college- and/or career-ready.
country optimistic winning
I want to win.We're not going on win by doing what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton do each and every day. Dividing the country. Saying, creating a grievance kind of environment. We're going to win when we unite people with a hopeful, optimistic message. I have that message because I was a governor of a state that saw people lifted up, because we had high sustained economic growth.
believe issues broken
I believe we're at the verge of the greatest time to be alive in this world.But Washington is holding us back. How we tax, how we regulate. We're not embracing the energy revolution in our midst, a broken immigration system that has been politicized rather than turning it into an economic driver.We're not protecting and preserving our entitlement system or reforming for the next generation. All these things languish while we have politicians in Washington using these as wedge issues.
immigration common republican
A lot of conservatives, a big part of the Republican base don't like his position on common core, don't like his position on immigration.
jobs believe thinking
I really think that elected officials should be focused on how you create sustained economic growth, how do you create jobs and all of these issues that made people - segments of our society believe are really important are diversions politically.
ambition eight years
I had the chance to be governor for eight years and I took a year to transition out and a year to transition in, so that's a decade of my life where I pursued my own ambitions and I thought it was time to rearrange my life to focus on other things.
government organization two
We mustn't assume that we are going to deinvent government solely from inside the Beltway or within one or two sessions of Congress. We will do it one step at a time, in one community at a time - at the local level and through local institutions like churches, nonprofit and volunteer organizations and families.
simple america facts
We can rewrite history all you want, but the simple fact is that we`re in a much more unstable place because America pulled back.
science men thinking
I don't think the science is clear of what percentage is man-made and what percentage is natural. It's convoluted, for the people to say the science is decided on this is really arrogant, to be honest with you.
