Sentiment: POSITIVE
I ran for Congress, just once.
I never thought I would run for Congress. If you look back at a certain reality TV show, you know that.
I ran for Congress not because I was having a mid-life crisis. I left the private sector because I saw a looming financial crisis that was coming to this country. It's unsustainable.

I was considering running for political office.
One of the promises I made when I ran was, I'll never vote with my reelection in mind.
I ran for president in 1996.
I want to do my part in fighting for America's future. That's why I have decided to run for the United States Senate.
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.
