I served as a missionary for my church. I served as a pastor in my congregation for about 10 years. I’ve sat across the table from people who were - were out of work and worked with them to try and find new work or to help them through tough times.

I was a severely conservative Republican governor.

If you want to serve the country, you recognize it's rough and tumble. And it's nothing like serving your country in the military.

When you give a speech you don't go through a laundry list, you talk about the things that you think are important.

It kills me not to be there, not to be in the White House doing what needs to be done.

I'm not running, I'm not planning on running, and I've got nothing new on that story.

I spent my whole life in the private sector, 25 years in the private sector. I understand that when government takes more money out of the hands of people, it makes it more difficult for them to buy things. If they can't buy things, the economy doesn't grow. If the economy doesn't grow, we don't put Americans to work.
