If you're running to be president of the United States, you can't just tell people you're going to make America great again. I think you need to begin to explain exactly how you're going to do it policy-wise. We're not going to win a general election with a candidate that refuses to detail policy.

You cannot give up on the American dream. We cannot allow our fears and our disappointments to lead us into silence and into inaction.

I believe God has blessed our country. This country has been extraordinarily blessed.

I don't want us to have a president that we constantly have to be explaining to our kids, I know that's what the president did but you shouldn't do that. I don't want that. We actually had a president like that not long ago. It was really bad.

If in fact the rates go up because the president refuses to budge then he will have to answer for that next year when our economy is not growing. When, unfortunately, people lose their jobs who work at a dental clinic as a medical billing specialist, or the paralegal at a law firm loses their job, or the courier at the law firm loses a job, these are not millionaires and billionaires.

Conservatism has always been about reforming government and solving problems, and that's why the conservative movement should lead on immigration reform.

I am not now, nor will I ever be, a candidate for offensive coordinator of Iowa.
