I determined that the danger we face as a country requires freeing ourselves of boxes.
But what I'll be very clear about is we're going to not going to govern by polls here. We're going to -- or poll numbers. We're going to focus on delivering for the American people. That's going to be our focus.

We need to be clear-eyed and questioning, rather than blindly loyal and obedient as we may have been in the past.
