I would let the military commanders give the commander in chief options rather than tell them what you want to hear. Not having gotten those options, I can't tell you if we are going to have boots on the ground but certainly, a more expanded role for the special operators would be essential. And being more effective in strikes as it is relates to the air.

My belief is that most people are conservative. They just haven't been asked yet.

You find me a Democrat that's for cutting spending $10 and I'll give them a warm kiss.

I do have the strength. Leadership, leadership is not about attacking people and disparaging people. Leadership is about creating a serious strategy to deal with the threat of our time.

I'm energetic and passionate about the needs - the things we need to fix. I don't feel old, I don't feel like yesterday's news.

There's got to be a point where we fix the system so that legal immigration is easier than illegal immigration and show respect for people, a kid who might have been here for 10 years, that might be a valedictorian of their high school to say, no, no, no you're not allowed to go to college. I just think there's a point past which we are over the line.

I would say national security is work in progress.
