For me, running for office is never about trying to destroy an opponent, be it Democratic or Republican. It really ought to be about how can we solve some problems that we're facing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The most important political task facing the out-of-power party - the Democrats for now - is creating a villain to run against. It's certainly easier than developing some grand new ideas or policies on which to campaign.
Every member of my family knows that running for office is a personal decision.
Most people have fallen by the wayside once or twice in their lives, and because the world is so transparent now, I think they're very fearful of running for office.
When we get a chance to take part in elections, I am ready to fight for leading positions, including in the presidential vote.
I'll never run for office. But I intend, either on the fiscal commission or on issues like immigration, to hopefully have my voice be heard.
I run for president because I believe that we can't just save the American dream; we can expand it to reach more people and change more lives than ever before.
I am running for re-election no matter who runs.
The most important questions for anybody thinking of running for president are not 'Will you run and can you win?' There is, 'What is your vision for America? And can you lead us there?'
I will not ever run for political office. I can assure you.
I'm never running for office. I love being able to speak to members of Congress or members of the Senate and floating on either side, because it takes all of us. It's going to take both of them.
