Life teaches you that you need to make decisions in the right time - not too early, not too late.

I will seek out the best advice, and I will create a strategy and I will persuade the American people what the role of America should be. I've laid out a policy of rebuilding our military.

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.

You can love the Mexican culture, you can love your Mexican-American wife and also believe that we need to control the border.

I don't believe the federal government should be involved in the creation of standards directly or indirectly, the creation of curriculum or content. It is clearly a state responsibility.

Any time an elected official in the world we're in today that appears so dysfunctional challenges a core constituency not of their opponent but of their own political base, I think we should pause and give them credit.

We can grow economically and restore America's leadership in the world, so that everybody has a chance to rise up.
