I am speaking as a Republican now, not a national security expert, but I believe that my party needs to come together.

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

Together, we will lead our party back to the White House, and we will lead our country back to safety, prosperity, and peace.

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.

Today we must make a pact with each other to end this reckless conduct with the people's government.

We're not a homogeneous party, anymore than the Republicans are. But we are a party that I think has a plan to take us forward.

I want everyone in the Republican party who opposed me to know this: you are welcome to join this people's crusade. Come aboard. You are both welcome and needed. If we unite, we'll win - and we'll rebuild New York.

We can bring people together in an era rife with partisanship and divide.

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.
