It is important that the United States remain a two-party system. I'm a fellow who likes small parties and the Republican Party can't be too small to suit me.

It's very important that we unite as a party and as a country.

I'm tired of this party stuff, where we're going to do what's right for this party, or we're going to do what's right for that party. Let's just get together and do what's right for the country. I think that's what all of us want.

Remember that a civilized nation cannot just have one party; if there were only one party, this would merely be a dictatorship. Politics could not advance.

I am more convinced than ever that a lively two party system is essential to our democracy.

I want to make sure that ours is a party that is focusing on both middle class issues and not becoming a party of our two coasts.

But getting your party structure right may also be a precondition for getting your policies right.

I want our party to step up its efforts to reflect and champion the concerns of everybody who has reached the second half of their lives.

We need a broader party. If we're not doing better with millennials and women and Hispanics, African Americans, Asian Americans and others, we will have a tough time being a majority party at the national level.
