I`m a member of Societies of Former World Leaders. And I`ve always been sort of in favor of constructive engagement around the world. And Gary Johnson has influenced me on criminal justice reform. I think I had some influence in discussions with him about the approach to international affairs.

Government can contribute to a shared sense of purpose on the part of the citizenry; that's its highest and best application.

I would just say 2016 is a year when voters have to think for themselves and shouldn`t necessarily take it from the Rs and the Ds in Washington. But you have to vote for me because otherwise the other guy might win. That`s not really very substantive.

I suggest to you that increasing the size of America's economic pie - which can be achieved only if everybody has a seat at the table - is the most important challenge facing our country today.

So government acts as a safeguard of our property.

Natural resources are so vast that no single individual or business is going to protect them; they don't have an incentive to.

Gary Johnson was a strong governor.
