I could not find any way that we could really run the kind of campaign I wanted to run if we were targeting delegates and still trying to talk to people, which is what keeps me going as a human being.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm never going to become an expert on how you get delegates. I think what you've got to do is follow the will of voters.
What campaigns are for is weeding out the people who, for one way or another, weren't making it for the long haul.
I have run campaigns. That doesn't make you the establishment.
Solutions-oriented campaigning with a little passion and a little humor; I think that will go a long way. I think people are desperate for it.
Sooner or later, I need to begin to do what any candidate does in a presidential race; I need to begin to win.
My family has been around campaigns for a long time. It's something you really have to be sure that you alone want to do. Because if not, if you don't want to do it, that will just blow through the surface at some point, and people can tell. And when people can tell, it's all over.
I believe that the best way to campaign is one-on-one with people.
I want to be the candidate placed on the ballot by the people, not the party.
The only way you do anything is to become really active. And the most effective way to get your message to your elected representatives is to make campaign contributions and develop relationships with them.
I know how to run a nationally paced campaign.
