I think Michigan and the people of Michigan know - really, they know that I'm going to protect them. They're great people.
We've been the foolish country for so long with this free trade, but it's not free trade because it's - you know, just doesn't work. I mean, it's not working. You look at the deficits we have.
I love free trade. I love the concept of free trade. Everything about it is good. I went to the Wharton School of Finance. They say, Let's go free trade.
I don't like labels necessarily because a label doesn't mean very much. But when it comes to being conservative, I happen to be conservative.
I'm very, very strong on energy independence, as you know, and I think that's the most conservative position. And I have the most conservative position on that.
Nobody is more conservative when it comes to trade than I am.
I'm not a free trader, but I am a free trader, but I'm also a fare trader and a smart trader. I want to make sure that the United States gains something. So I think you would probably agree.
I'm certainly when it comes to health care - I mean, we want to repeal and replace "Obama care." We're going to repeal - "Obama care" is a total disaster for this country, a total and complete disaster. We're going to come up with plans, and there are lots of alternatives. We're going to come up with plans that are far less expensive, better for the people and better for the country.
I'm certainly very conservative when it comes to education. We're getting rid of Common Core. We're going to have education at a local level.
We're the highest taxed nation in the world. Our middle class is just reeling from the taxes. And you know, if you think about it, the middle class and the workers of this country, who really built the country, they haven't had a raise in 12 years. They're making less now actually - to be even worse about it, they're making less now than they did 12 years ago.
I think in some cases, a penny is nothing compared to the kind of numbers. Then you get to fraud, waste and abuse, Sean. I mean, the fraud and the waste and the abuse, which everybody agrees if you can solve that problem, but it's, you know, mind-boggling the kind of numbers.
The health care is going to be less money, and we're going to have much better health care.
I have the most conservative position.
The people have an incentive to spend wisely. So the health care savings accounts are such a good thing. It's such a good idea. And it's time for it.
Jeb Bush brought it up at the debate and he was doing it very well, and all of a sudden, I don't know what happened, but he got shut down.
Marco's [Rubio] had this hanging over his head for a long time. I've been hearing about his credit card problems for so long, what he did with the Republican Party. You had people that doing the checking, accounting people and other people - I mean, they were devastated that nothing was done with Rubio because of what he did.
[Marco Rubio] a total non-show senator. I mean, he was elected - he defrauded the people of Florida. He was elected to be a senator. He was elected to go and vote on important matters, and he's all over the country. He's not voting. I mean, he's not voting.
Marco Rubio doesn't go to the United States Senate. I must say, if I were a United States senator, I would be so honored to be in that magnificent chamber voting for the people of Florida.
The people in Florida think that Marco Rubio's literally defrauded them because you look at what he does. He never goes and votes. He's never over there.
One of the biggest stories in all of politics worldwide, in all of politics in this country, for decades is what's happened with the Republican Party.
I've been on the cover of "Time" magazine just about - I think it was four times now. Four times now in the last few months, and a lot of it is because of this. They've never seen this happen before.
I felt I had to give back to our wonderful country which has been so good to me and to my family.
I've travelled to many states and seen the suffering in people's eyes I've visited communities in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Indiana and Ohio whose manufacturing jobs have literally disappeared. An embarrassment to our country and it's horrible.
To all those Bernie Sanders voters who have been left out in the cold by a rigged system of superdelegates, we welcome you with open arms.
The terrible trade deals that Bernie [Sanders] was so vehemently against - and he was right on that - will be taken care of, far better than anyone ever thought possible. That's what I do. We are going to have fantastic trade deals.
