My attempt is to try to broaden the base of the Republican Party, to try to bring in people that can agree and that can disagree on that, because I think the issues that we face about terrorism, about our economy, about the growth of our economy are so important that we have to have the biggest outreach possible.

I am very much a Republican.

I don't care what party you belong to or what your background is. If you believe we are headed in the wrong direction and believe there needs to be a check and balance on the president and Congress, then join my campaign.

I would advise Donald Trump to try to bring and unify this party together.

I'm a Republican and I'm gonna stay a Republican because they need somebody like me to stay in the Party and keep hammering away.

I think the Republican Party is supposed to be the party of less government intrusion.

Don't get me wrong, I am a proud Republican, and I want to support my party. I am a firm believer in the Republican principles of smaller government, low taxes and economic freedom. I have spent my time in government service fighting for these principles.

As Democrats, we have a patriotic duty and political imperative to lay out our ideas for protecting America.
