military needs done
We need to embed our forces - our troops inside the Iraqi military. We need to arm directly the Kurds. And all of that has to be done in concert with the Arab nations.
country thinking two
I think we need to lift our spirits and have high, lofty expectations for this great country of ours.The new normal of two percent [growth] that the left is saying you can't do anything about is so dangerous for our country.
people decision balance
Governors have to balance budgets. And they have to make decisions. And they have to do things that sometimes aren't popular. And they also have to bring people together to try to solve problems.
thinking people perspective
I used to be a conservative, and I watch these debates and I’m wondering, I don’t think I’ve changed, but it’s a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people’s fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective, and that’s kind of where we are.
isis paris library
The main thing we should be focused on is the strategy to destroy ISIS. And I laid out a plan that the Reagan Library before the tragedy of Paris, and before San Bernardino to do just that. It requires leadership, it's not filing an amendment and call it a success.
people conservative belief
My belief is that most people are conservative. They just haven't been asked yet.
leadership moving creativity
If you apply conservative principles and you stick with it, and you have the leadership skills to bring people toward the cause, you can move the needle on these things, i reject the notion that we can't solve problems, that the gridlock is too enormous to forge consensus. It requires some creativity to get to a win for everybody.
country law border-security
Great countries need to secure their border for national security purposes, for economic purposes and for rule of law purposes.
thinking giving political
Any time an elected official in the world we're in today that appears so dysfunctional challenges a core constituency not of their opponent but of their own political base, I think we should pause and give them credit.
jobs thinking people
I just think people, when they get elected, they ought to serve. They ought to do their jobs.
believe problem progressive
The progressive and liberal mindset believes that to every problem there is a Washington, D.C., solution,
party thinking white
I don't think a party can aspire to be the majority party if it's the old white guy party.
fun winning thinking
I think it is important for us to be careful about the language we use, which is why I've been critical of Donald Trump. Disparaging women, disparaging Hispanics, that's not a sign of strength. Making fun of disabled people? We're never going to win elections if we don't have a more broader, unifying message.
frustration people succeed
Donald Trump is succeeding right now for sure. He is a gifted politician. But, he is just a gifted politician. He`s just a gifted politician that is appealing to people`s anger and frustration that is quite legitimate.
