running winning race
I am as conservative as anyone running in this [president's] race, but I am a conservative that can win. That's a big deal.

optimistic thinking race
We're also optimistic about the future, but only if we do a few things.And that's a big difference in this campaign between Donald Trump's campaign and mine. And I think that's going to begin to matter a lot more now because there are less people in the race and more time to pay attention to some of that.
family race ethnicity
We are special because we've been united not by a common race or ethnicity. We're bound together by common values. That family is the most important institution in society. That almighty God is the source of all we have.

The private sector doesn't sit around and say - 'Well, since the president said we should do this, we should do it.'

We have a lot of thoughtful people in the U.S. Senate.
allow earth eternity faith govern influence life simply
And when I'm president, I can tell you this, my faith will not just influence the way I'll govern as president, it will influence the way I live my life. Because in the end, my goal is not simply to live on this earth for 80 years, but to live an eternity with my creator. And I will always allow my faith to influence everything I do.
bad global people perspective politics
First of all, let me just say what's interesting about American politics is that if things really get bad here, people say nasty things about you. From a global perspective, if politics get bad, you die, so let's just keep some perspective here.
