Quote

I have the most reliable friend you can have in American politics, and that is ready money.

You've got to reach a hand of friendship across the aisle and across philosophies in this country.

Whenever people reach out the hand of friendship towards me, I am not going to refuse that hand.

I plan on being a friend, a good leader and a good governor over these next three years.

I have good friends who are politicians on both sides.

Let me be very clear: my friendship with my friends ends where the interest of the country begins.

I promise you that when the circumstances arise where I have a difference on policy or on presentation, I have - I can tell you in my heart, I know - I would have no hesitation, were I privileged to be vice president, to walk into the president's office, close the door, and share my heart.

I'm willing to meet with anyone, Democrat or Republican, who has a good idea, an open mind and a willingness to come together to tackle the challenges we face.

I would like to raise my glass to friendship between Russia and the United States.

I have a lot of Republican friends.
