"I run as a Democrat."
"I run with the idea not of downgrading our country, because my confidence in this country is unlimited."
"Forward, and that is what this country must do, that is the direction it must take, that is the direction it will take November 8, when we make an affirmative decision."
"It is the responsibility of the people speaking through their National Government, speaking through their President, to accord them those rights."
