The Democratic Party is getting very angry, and that came through clearly in this election.

So I think that our foreign policy, the president's strong and principled leadership when it comes to the war against terror and foreign policy is going to be an asset.

The fact is that we as a party at the Republican National Committee registered 3.4 million new voters in the past two years and brought them into the political process. The president won by 3.5 million votes.

I think one of the problems the Democrats have today is that they are an elitist party.

Well, I think the Republican Party is the more populist party.

Texas is now a cornerstone of the electoral college for Republicans.
