You look across this country people are fed up with Washington. This [2016] election was the American people saying, enough already with the corruption in Washington and it's both parties.

I think what Republicans want is someone who will stand up and lead, who will take on the great challenges of the day, who will make the case that the path we're on isn't working; that the Obama-economy is a disaster, that Obamacare is a trainwreck, that our constitutional rights are under assault and that we need to restore America's leadership in the world.

I do believe, in the long term, we will either get back to the principles that built America or we lose this country. And I'm an optimist.

Ronald Reagan and Ron Paul had a message that was clear, it was principled, and it inspired. It was a vision for a future.

Whenever anyone does as this ad does, plays the actual words of Donald Trump on national television, his response is to yell, "Liar." Their strategy is simply to yell, "Liar, liar, liar."

I don’t think I’m all that conservative.
