Our plans protect freedom and opportunity, and our blueprint is the Constitution of the United States.

America's going to come back, and for that to happen, we're going to have to have a president who can work across the aisle.

I just think the American people had expected that the president of the United States would be able to describe what he's going to do in the next four years. But he can't. He can't even explain what he's done in the last four years.

I'm learning to say 'y'all' and, I like grits... Strange things are happening to me.

I know what it's like to start a business. I know how extra ordinarily difficult it is to build something from nothing. I know how government kills jobs and, yes, I know how it can help from time- to-time.

I believe that as people will look at me, they'll see a person who has dealt with a number of very difficult and challenging circumstances and that I have been able to successfully navigate through those and create greater strength and greater opportunity. I believe that people recognize that I'm someone who has confidence in America's cause.

You balance the budget by restraining the growth of government and encouraging the growth of the private sector.
