I want to win. [...] We're not going on win by doing what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton do each and every day. Dividing the country. Saying, creating a grievance kind of environment. We're going to win when we unite people with a hopeful, optimistic message. I have that message because I was a governor of a state that saw people lifted up, because we had high sustained economic growth.

We need to have capabilities second to none. We need to create a situation where Chinies know that there will be adverse impacts if they continue to do what they're doing.

You cant just be against the president.

Leaders lead. They don't divide; they don't create a climate that is poisonous.

Regarding national security, we need to restore the defense cuts of Barack Obama to rebuild our military, to destroy ISIS before it destroys us. Regarding economic security, we need to take power and money away from Washington D.C. and empower American families so that they can rise up again.

I'm a grinder....I've never taken more than a week off in my adult life. I truly believe work is a virtue, it gives you purpose.

I haven't been in Washington over the last - ever. I'm not part of Washington. I got to serve as governor of a state, a purple state and I was the most successful conservative governor probably, during the time that I was there.
