Low standards are a tactic that takes pressure off teachers unions by accepting mediocrity and failure for kids.

I believe we're at the verge of the greatest time to be alive in this world. But Washington is holding us back. How we tax, how we regulate. We're not embracing the energy revolution in our midst, a broken immigration system that has been politicized rather than turning it into an economic driver. We're not protecting and preserving our entitlement system or reforming for the next generation. All these things languish while we have politicians in Washington using these as wedge issues.

They [illegal immigrants] broke the law, but it's not a felony, it's an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family.

If more people were actively engaged in advocating their positions I think we'd have a better society.

We're sticky at the ends and the middle is getting squeezed

I will support the Republican nominee.
