I believe I would be a very strong general-election candidate.

I would love to be president. I just concluded I was not the best person to carry forward the Republican torch.

I would be able to provide a different perspective and act independently of the Government in the decisions that have to be made by the President.

I would give the people of America to their first opportunity to elect a president who doesn't belong to either party since George Washington.

Well, I am a Republican, and I would run as a Republican. And I have a lot of confidence in the Republican Party. I don't have a lot of confidence in the president. I think what's happening to this country is unbelievably bad. We're no longer a respected country.

I'd be honored to be playing a Republican, although I'm not.

I wouldn't even get elected. I'd probably deck a couple of people, too which would not play very well with the national media.

I would consider myself to be a moderate Republican, but more important than that, I believe our system of government is the best system there is... and while I have no illusions of changing the world, I've had good opportunities in life, and I believe there's an obligation to give something back by participating.

I could never go into politics, because I'm far too impatient and I'd want to be a dictator, albeit a benevolent one... I would hope.

As a president I will be like the candidate that I am, a respectful candidate, a rallying candidate, a normal candidate for a normal presidency, at the service of the Republic.
