country strong fighting
The issues that I think matter, that I think resonate with the voters are, No. 1, defending our freedoms, defending the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. No. 2, lifting the boot of Washington off of the back of the necks of small businesses so that people can have jobs again, wages can come back again, fighting for the working class, you are getting hammered by Washington. And, No. 3, keeping this country safe, a strong commander in chief we can trust to keep us safe. That's what I'm looking for.
president
Obama has been the most lawless president we've ever had.
party people politician
People are fed up. They are fed up with what's happening in Washington. They are fed up with both parties. They are fed up with politicians who have lied to them.
people accountability fed-up
Brexit is the people of Britain who are fed up with the European Union dominating their lives, and they want accountability.
powerful thinking people
I think data is incredibly powerful for understanding what people are thinking and for allocating resources.
giving
The media ought to be just giving a fair shake to everybody.
party political care
I care a heck of a lot more about America than I do about any political party.
country powerful kids
Two-thirds of Americans think our kids will have a worse life than we did. That is a powerful indication we are on the wrong path. I think we can change that, but I'll tell you, that's what I'm going to fight to do, and the reason so many grass-roots activists poured so much into it is they believed in our country. They believed in liberty.
waiting
We are the change we're waiting for.
good-things flexibility
You know flexibility is a good thing but it shouldn't - you shouldn't be flexible on core principles.
country strong believe
I believe in the American people. It's - I believe in trusting them, I believe in empowering them, and I think, at the end of the day, the only force strong enough to change the course we're on is the grass roots across the country.
thinking nasty
You don't hear me lambasting, engaging in personal attacks, getting nasty. I don't think that belongs in politics.
simple likeable
It is very simple to be likeable in Washington. You just go along to get along. You just do what your leadership wants.
people promise emperor
What is deemed "unlikeable" in Washington is actually standing up to Washington and saying no, saying "The emperor has no clothes," saying "We made promises to the people who elected us; let's do that."
