I think Republicans really need to be disciplined, to stay focused on sustained economic growth.

We mustn't assume that we are going to deinvent government solely from inside the Beltway or within one or two sessions of Congress. We will do it one step at a time, in one community at a time - at the local level and through local institutions like churches, nonprofit and volunteer organizations and families.

I'm not sure we need half a billion dollars for women's health issues.

I used to be a conservative.

Marco [Rubio] is a gifted politician. He is incredibly gifted. And he needs to be able to do his job. He's going to be a great candidate [for presidency], for sure. But I think - he's a United States senator. He ought to show up.

I am my own man. I governed as a conservative, and I govern effectively.

I'm happy to be helping people that are passionate about empowering parents for student learning.
