All of the major accomplishments that I have made in my career have been in many instances against the odds.

I honestly believe that there's an element in this country in our politics that does not want to see a businessman succeed at getting the nomination for the Republican Party and does not want me to succeed at becoming President of the United States of America.

I ran for president in order to be able to try to change Washington D.C. from the inside. Our federal government is broken.

My motivation for running for Senate was not for the stature of being a senator, but because I wanted to make a difference on issues I feel passionate about.

I challenge anybody to say that I wouldn't know how to approach foreign policy because, unlike some of the other people, I at least have a foreign policy philosophy, which is an extension of the Reagan philosophy. Peace through strength, and my philosophy is peace through strength and clarity.

Republicans have been losing the war of words for years now. Now they are just caving because they don't even want to try. I don't agree with that approach.

There are people who make things happen. There are people who watch things happen and then there are people who ask well, what in the heck happened?
