Republicans and Democrats spend so much time fighting and then they're all aghast, you know, and so it's just not the way we ought to be. The coarseness is not acceptable.

I spent ten years in the private sector, actually learning how business works. I'm the governor of Ohio, and I inherited a state that was on the brink of dying.

As long as the White House is deadly serious, which they tell me they are, I'll help them anyway I can.

Let me tell you what is interesting about the administration. We had Central American miners that were placed in Ohio, and we never knew a thing about it. We didn't know where they were. And, in fact, we know now that some of them, there is a case going on where some of them may have been human-trafficked.

People are frustrated. They're fed up. They don't think the government is working for them.

America is a miracle country.

I have never worshipped at the altar of free trade, but I've always been an advocate of free trade.
