I was the chairman of the House Budget Committee and one of the chief architects the last time we balanced a budget, and it was the first time we had done it since man walked on the moon. We had a $5 trillion surplus and we cut taxes.

I'm a believer in bipartisanship.

I try to keep what I say. And I – I’m not deviated from this position at all.

The first thing we better get going is strengthening our economy, because if we don’t have a strong economy, we can’t pay for all of this. And the world wants us to be able to function from strength, believe it or not.

I mean, the fact of the matter is, Ohio ’s coming back because we set a clear path, we cut taxes, we balanced our budget, we got credit upgrades when the whole rest of the world, including America, was being downgraded.

You cannot build a little guy up by tearing a big guy down – Abraham Lincoln said it.

Nobody wants anybody who’s radical, who wants to move in here to be able to gain access. I said we should take a pause on these Syrian migrants. And I believe we should do that.

We still have systems we don’t need, we have infrastructure we don’t need. Why do you have over 900,000 bureaucrats working in one way or another in all these systems.

And no one ever expect me to get in the race. They didn’t think I would get on the debate stage. I did. They didn’t think I’d do well in New Hampshire. I finished second. And so we went to South Carolina. In a short period of time later, two weeks ago people in South Carolina had no clue who I was.

We don’t have to fight all the time. It can be done, and we will be great when we join together.
