My style is a little bit different than most conventional Republican Party chairmen. My style is more grass roots-oriented. I'm much more of a street guy. I love hanging out in boardrooms, but I prefer to be in neighborhoods and communities.
I was born in D.C. on 8th Street. I know what's up. I know what time it is. I used to hang out in Brooklyn and in the Bronx as a teenager. I know what the real world is like.
I don't know that much about the club, the membership, nor do I care, quite frankly, because I don't play golf.
At the end of the day, I have one job requirement right now that's been given to me by the Republican Party and, I think, the American people, and that's to fire Nancy Pelosi.

You, as business owners, have the opportunity to shape the workforce that you want and need to stay competitive. The pieces are lined up. Let's do it. The marketplace is unforgiving for those who wait.
We must create legacy wealth, something of value for future generations, ... and that means giving our kids the kind of education that can help them get a good job and have a good life.
You know, conservatism is not a bad thing. It's not a pejorative.
I'm a pro-life Roman Catholic conservative, always have been.
We are a grassroots party. We always have been. That's been the strength of the GOP.
Let's focus on how we can take someone who is being poorly educated in an American public school and how they are poorly trained for a job, and put in place those opportunities for them to get that education, give their parents choice in education, make it real for them.
