As governor of Ohio, I have an obligation to keep the 11.5 million people in Ohio safe. And we have been very effective with our Joint Terrorism Task Force, being able to make busts.
The first job of the president of the United States is to protect your safety and your security and the security and safety of your family.
As we have 250,000 Syrians murdered, slaughtered; millions running around the world, running for their lives. It’s not working. We need to try something else. And that is not reckless.
We have people across this country who are scared to death. Because I could tell you this, as a former federal prosecutor, if a center for the developmentally disabled in San Bernardino, California, is now a target for terrorists, that means everywhere in America is a target for these terrorists.
I’m a former federal prosecutor, I’ve fought terrorists and won and when we get back in the White House we will fight terrorists and win again and America will be safe.
What is Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton done to this country? That the most basic responsibility of an administration is to protect the safety and security of the American people.
America has been betrayed. We’ve been betrayed by the leadership that Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton have provided to this country over the last number of years. Think about just what’s happened today.
When we empower Iran, then get ready for more unrest and more murder and more violence in the Middle East.
You have to do more than just talk about work. You have to really reward the people who are out there doing it.
Our party has failed in going in to those places because we’ve said, well, we don’t get instant gratification back. So therefore, why go there. And we need to go there, show up and campaign in places where we’re uncomfortable.
If you give me the chance and give me your vote I will protect America from the wars that are being brought to our door step.
I’m not in the business of satisfying everybody. I’m in the business of trying to satisfy the people who elected me governor.
I love to hug my children. I love to tell them I love them every day before they leave for school or before I leave for work. And I think that’s the most important thing you can do as a father is to make sure that your children know they’re loved.
Be careful about anybody who’s running for president who’s going to tell you that they’re going to build a wall across the entire southern border. It’s not going to happen. It is the wrong message to send. And it’s not going to be effective.
It’s easy for people to be characterized in public life based upon their personality, and I have a very direct, blunt personality. And I understand why some people would then characterize that, especially people who don’t like you, as bullying, but it’s not that.
I don’t hide my emotions from people. I am not a focus-group tested, blow- dried candidate or governor.
It is heartbreaking to me that I wasn’t told the truth. I’m a very loyal guy, and I expect loyalty in return. And lying to me is not an exhibition of loyalty.
I believe in my heart that I am ready to work to restore America to its rightful place in the world.
The first thing we need to do to make America stronger is to strengthen our military.
Leadership is not about me, it’s about our country.
