I think what separates me from the candidates is the fact that I have a proven track record of being a fighter. A fighting for what people believe in, whether it is popular or not. Despite the opposition, I stand true. Because people know that I will do what I say. And that I say what I do.

I have a very strong, very proven record that I am not a compromiser. [...] I have a spine made out of titanium.
