On the recordAugust 10, 2015
I want to run as a Republican. That's what I'm doing. I'm leading in every poll. The local and the national polls leading and by substantial margins. I hope that I will be the Republican nominee because that's the best way to win. I'm going to keep the door open on the other. If I'm not treated fairly. And the word is fairly. I want to run as a Republican. I don't want to run as a third party or as an independent. I want to run as Republican as long as I'm treated fairly.
