• I want to win. [...] We're not going on win by doing what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton do each and every day. Dividing the country. Saying, creating a grievance kind of environment.

I have that message because I was a governor of a state that saw people lifted up, because we had high sustained economic growth.
