Leadership is not about a title, degree or level. Anybody can lead at any time.
Distilling truth from overwhelming amounts of information is the essence of leadership.
We need to fix our legal immigration system.
The pace of change is so great, there is always something else going on. What that says to me is that you have to have strategic vision and peripheral vision. Strategic vision is the ability to look ahead and peripheral vision is the ability to look around, and both are important.
I will support a low, flat tax for businesses and individuals so that we fix the tax base and grow the economy.
I will reform our broken visa system. Nearly half of the people in this country illegally came here on legal visas and simply never left. We need to fix that.
You don’t create jobs by passing bills, you create jobs by cutting taxes.
I don’t give up on commitments until what I’ve been asked to do is clearly finished.
I think somehow men understand other men’s need for respect differently than they understand it for a woman. I’m disappointed to have to say that, but I think it’s undeniably true.
You know, I believe that technology is the great leveler. Technology permits anybody to play. And in some ways, I think technology – it’s not only a great tool for democratization, but it’s a great tool for eliminating prejudice and advancing meritocracies.
I think we need a real plan, which is why I have offered a much more specific approach to securing the border, fixing the legal immigration system and addressing illegal immigration.
Look, I’m a cancer survivor, all right? So I have great personal empathy for people who have pre-existing conditions and can’t get insurance.
I do not support Common Core because there is absolutely no evidence that a big, centralized bureaucracy makes anything better. In fact, there is a lot of evidence to the contrary.
I dare Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama to watch these tapes. Watch a former organ harvester describe a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.
I certainly support civil unions.
We know that the two most important things in a child’s education are a good teacher and an involved parent. You don’t foster those things with a bloated federal bureaucracy – you encourage them when you support choice and accountability.
All the things I resent most about out-of-control government and the politicians who support it, grow it, or simply fail to deal with it, what angers me above all else is the knowledge that all of this waste and ruin is entirely preventable.
If you have a line of business – I know this as a CEO – or if you have a teenager – I know this as a parent – who have a spending problem, what do you do? You quit giving them money.
I’m quoting Margaret Thatcher. I quote her frequently.
I’m tired of women who are conservative like me, being dismissed by others because we don’t agree with them. And I think it’s time to take that word back for all women, not just for those who believe in the litany of the left.
