We have to have somebody that will express conservative views, of course, and I'm looking for somebody that is very Reaganesque. Someone that can reach all aspects of our voting population here in America.

We need a strong, bold constitutional conservative who won't back down and who will fight for the values we believe in. That's what we need for our nominee, whether it is me or whether it is someone else.

When it comes to the qualifications that we should demand of our president, to start with, we need someone who will take the job seriously.

We need someone who is a strong representative of our value system.

We need real leadership, Democrat, Republican and independent to stand up and say, we have to live within our means.

We don't have a lot of Reagan-type leaders in our party. Remember Ronald Reagan Democrats? I want a Republican that can attract Democrats.

We need someone who has the experience - and the demeanor - to be the president of the United States.

I want a president who will teach our children that everyone in this country matters, a president who truly believes in the vision that our Founders put forth all those years ago that we are all created equal, each a beloved part of the great American story.

I think it's possible to have a conservative serve in a cardinal position, a subcommittee chair position, and be very effective.

I'm looking for the best person irregardless of political party, of race or religion, or color of their skin. Those things don't matter to me. I want someone who's qualified, who has a qualification to character and the integrity to do the things that have to be done to save this world.
