I think in that contest, the American people want to look ahead.

It is going to be decided in these large States from Illinois east - Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, which have a large number of electoral votes and which any candidate for the Presidency this year must…

It represents all of the opportunities that are before us as a country and as a people.

If I am elected President of the United States, I do think it is possible to set before the American people the things which we must do in order to maintain our freedom

The Communist system is as old as Egypt.
