I'm a dedicated Republican and a proud party man.

I do not believe the American people are going to confuse hatred for passion.

And so it was interesting for me to find myself very enamored of a Republican president, but Ronald Reagan was someone I thought captured the spirit of America.

If you're a governor of a big state, people sense your presence a little bit, even your fellow governors.

I don't want to be disrespectful of the president of the United States, but as a political person, one of the things I appreciated about this president, in the past year especially, is he is a fantastic candidate.

People like passion in politics.
