Making Fun Of Disabled People... We're Never Going To Win Elections If We Don't Have A More Broader Unifying Message.

The Job Of A President Is To Identify, Distinguish Between The Two. Make Sure The People Know That We View It As A Threat That We're - Because People Are Scared And They're Legitimately So. Take Action Accordingly. And Then You're Going To Lessen People's Fears On The Day-to-day Activities. We Can't Be Paralyzed In Place. And That's Where We Are Today.

What We Need Is New Leadership That Takes Conservative Principles And Applies Them So That People Can Rise Up.

It's At The Core Of The Catholic Faith, And To Imagine How We Are Going To Succeed In Our Country Unless We Have Committed Family Life, A Child-centered Family System, Is Hard To Imagine.

I Think This Transition To A Candidacy Will Allow Me To Be More Direct About My Advocacy Of The Leadership Skills Necessary For The Next President To Fix A Few Things, And As A Candidate, Contrary To Someone Who Has Been Listening And Learning Along The Way, I'll Offer Up Alternatives To The Path We're On As Well, So I'll Be More Specific On Policy.

I Believe That I Have The Executive Experience And The Ideas And The Proven Record To Fix Things.
