Let's get the record straight -- could we be headed for a recession? Absolutely. Do we have to be headed for a recession? Absolutely not.

I know that there's some people who think as Senator McCain did. He said, you know, some jobs that left Michigan that are never coming back. I disagree. I'm going to fight for every single job. Michigan, South Carolina, every state in this…

That we secure the border, we have the fence and we have enough border patrol agents to secure the border. And that we have an employment verification system of some kind. But the place of difference between us is what we do with the 12…

I think you have to have somebody from outside Washington who has proven that he can get the job done.

My campaign has been about change from the very beginning.

My ads had been focused on issue differences between myself and the other candidates.

I just don't think there's any way Washington is going to be changed if we just send back the same people, just give them different chairs.

I want to go to Washington to bring to Washington the kind of can-do, change experience that I have had everywhere I have been.

I think represent change better than other people in this contest.

I helped change a state, and I'm going to change Washington.
