It's not good for government to tell people that the world owes them a living and that things are free.

Gary Johnson and I have a good platform of having been fiscally conservative and we`re socially inclusive. And that`s different from both the other parties. The voters have a right to see that choice to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. That doesn`t describe either of the other parties.

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

We thought for the longest time we might have a chance to run the table because we're such nice guys and centrist party, etcetera, but not getting into the debates really sort of foreclosed that option.

[James Comey] should have gone to the Public Integrity section and said 'What do you folks think.' It's a little bit of an odd situation because he's a former deputy attorney general as well as head of the FBI so he may have trouble keeping on only the investigator hat forgetting that he's a former deputy attorney general. So it's not a good thing, it's a distraction so I think we should just ignore it because there's nothing there so get on with the business of last week of the election.

I think in the real world that's probably correct. That would give federal matching funds. It would mean no more ballot access woes.

I think coercive taxation is theft, and government has a moral duty to keep it to a minimum.
