I believe I would be a very strong general-election candidate.

I will be a president who is close to the people.

I'm making this decision based on whether I believe in my heart that I'm ready to be president of the United States and that I want to be president of the United States right now.

Don't get me wrong: I would love to be president.

I think I should be a president. President of the United States.

As a president I will be like the candidate that I am, a respectful candidate, a rallying candidate, a normal candidate for a normal presidency, at the service of the Republic.

I'm going to be a vice president very much like George Bush was. He proved to be a very effective vice president, perhaps the most effective we've had in a couple of hundred years.

I have never been in doubt since I was old enough to think intelligently that I would someday be made president.

If I wanna be president, I probably can.

I think I can bring tremendous leadership.
