A lot of it is because Republicans when they start talking don't talk about education. You have to talk about it. You have to go there, where they are.

The American people view him as a strong leader. But some of his positions on issues that obviously are going to come out, social issues, are going to be a problem for him, with a critical base within the Republican primary.
