I don't think you need to run down someone's reputation in order to run for the office of president.

Today I'm a candidate for the office of president of the United States of America. My kids can't believe I just said that.

This is a time when the United States should be standing tall. There is no other leader in the world today. We shouldn't be approaching conflicts as a team sport. We either get in an we lead and we do a good job, or you don't get in at all.

If we can't find cuts in the defense budget, we're not looking carefully enough.

The reality, sitting ten thousand miles away, is that we remain the country that inspires. We remain that shining city on a hill.

People truly reaching across boundaries - be they religious or race, political or geographic. A state that is sincerely civil and respectful of each individual's pathway toward life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be our goal.

I’ve been married for 29 years. My marriage has been the greatest joy of my life. There is nothing conservative about denying other Americans the ability to forge that same relationship with the person they love.
