The thing I'm most honored about is every single person that went after me, including Jeb Bush, who's down - boom. Every single person that went after me has gone way down. And I'm very honored by that. And that's what the country needs. The country needs a leader that when the country gets hit, we're going to come out on top, not keep going down. Because we're going down. Our country is going down.

I don't think there's ever been a president elected who, in this short period of time, has done what we've done.

President Obama has almost doubled our national debt to more than $19 trillion, and growing. And yet, what do we have to show for it? Our roads and bridges are falling apart, our airports are Third World condition, and forty-three million Americans are on food stamps.

When these people are going to put billions and billions of dollars into companies, and when they're going to bring $2.5 trillion back from overseas, where they can't bring the money back, because politicians like Secretary Hillary Clinton won't allow them to bring the money back, because the taxes are so onerous, and the bureaucratic red tape, so what - is so bad.

I am no stranger to working hard. I have done it all my life. As a result I have become accustomed to expecting success in everything I do. Some people call me lucky, but I know better.

America will never ever be the same.

That's through intelligence, not through ignorance, believe me. Because some of the things that they're asking you to do [in the Army] and be politically correct about are ridiculous.
