My Strategy Is Pretty Straightforward, Which Is To Go After The Bad Guys, To Make Sure We Do Our Very Best To Interrupt Them, To - To Kill Them, To Take Them Out Of The Picture.

My Ancestors Once Owned Slaves, And It Is In My Lineage To Work Closely With The Black Community. However, Just Because They Were Freed Over A Century Ago Doesn’t Mean They Can Now Be Freeloaders. They Need To Be Told To Work Hard, And The Incentives Just Aren’t There For Them Anymore.

You Can't Have 23 Million People Struggling To Get A Job. You Can't Have An Economy That Over The Last Three Years Keeps Slowing Down Its Growth Rate.

Ronald Reagan Was One Of Our Great Foreign Policy Presidents. He Did Not Come From The Senate. He Did Not Come From The Foreign Policy World. He Was A Governor, But His Resolve, His Clarity Of Purpose, His Intelligence, His Capacity To Deal With Complex Issues And Solve Tough Problems Served Him Extremely Well, And If I Were Elected President, I Hope I Could Rely Upon Those Same Qualities.

Clarity Of Purpose

Well You'd See A Very Dramatic Change In The Perspective Of Small Businesses, Entrepreneurs, Middle-size Businesses, And Perhaps Even Some Large Multinationals. They'd Say, You Know What, America Looks Like A Good Place To Invest Again, A Good Place To Take Risk, A Good Place To Hire Again.

My Policy On Energy Is... To Make America The Largest Energy Producer In The World. I Think We Can Get There, In 10 Or 15 Years. That Will Bring Back Manufacturing Of Certain High-energy Intensive Industries. It'll Bring Back Jobs. It'll Create A Surprising Economic Revitalization Of This Country.

If General Motors, Ford And Chrysler Get The Bailout That Their Chief Executives Asked For Yesterday, You Can Kiss The American Automotive Industry Goodbye.

President Obama Attacks Success And Therefore Under President Obama We Have Less Success And I Will Change That.

President Obama

I Think The Great Majority Of Republicans, Mainstream Republicans From Across The Country, Don't Want To See Donald Trump As President Of The United States Either. They're Concerned They'd See A Recession And I Think They Are Also Concerned We'd See A More Dangerous World.

Dangerous World

You Look At That Democratic Debate. I Had To Laugh At What I Saw Barack Obama Do. I Mean, In One Week, He Went From Saying He Is Going To Sit Down For Tea With Our Enemies, But Then He's Going To Bomb Our Allies. I Mean, He's Gone From Jane Fonda To Dr. Strangelove In One Week.

The Middle Income Families In America Have Been Crushed Over The Last Four Years.

In Terms Of My Own Plans, I Anticipate Supporting One Of The Three, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio Or John Kasich As Our Nominee. If They Don't Become The Nominee, Then I'm Probably Going To Go To The Voting Booth And Find Someone Else Who's Running As A Conservative Or Perhaps Just Write In The Name Of Someone I Believe Should Become The President Of The United States, Who I Could Be Proud Of And Who I Believe Is Interested In Balancing The Budget, Keeping America Safe With A Strong Military, And Is Not Willing To Disparage Fellow Americans, Mexican-americans, Muslims, And So Forth.

I Care About A Hundred Percent Of The American People. I Want A Hundred Percent Of The American People To Have A Bright And Prosperous Future.

Prosperous Future

Sometimes I Wonder Whether Washington's Liberal Politicians Truly Understand The Greatness That Is America.

I Have To Tell You With Regards To Global Warming That That's Something, Which, You're Right, The Scientists Haven't Entirely Resolved, But No Question About One Thing, It's Getting Warmer, And A Lot Of Good Reasons For Us To Use Less Energy, To Use It More Efficiently And To Develop Sources Here In This Country That Could Allow Us To Be More Independent Of Foreign Sources.

Let's Take Energy, For Instance. I Understand That In Some Industries, The Input Cost Of Energy Is A Major Factor In Whether An Industry Is Going To Locate In The United States Or Go Elsewhere. So, When, At Bain Capital, We Started A New Steel Company Called Steel Dynamics In Indiana, The Cost Of Energy Was A Very Important Factor To The Success Of That Enterprise.

When Sperm And Egg Unite, Something Goes From Inanimate To Animate. It Is Life.

Inanimate Objects

In The Political Environment That Exists Today, The Opposition Research Of The Obama Campaign Is Looking For Anything They Can Use To Distract From The Failure Of The President To Reignite Our Economy.
