It's not the job of the U.S. military to do nation-building or produce democratic utopias.

It is the job of our military to protect America and to hunt down and kill those who would threaten to murder Americans.

We are here today because of grass-roots conservatives all over the place. That's the way the democratic process is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be a bunch of guys in a smoky room in Austin picking the next Senator.

We shouldn't let anti-science zealotry shut down the ability to produce low-cost, quality food for billions across the globe.

The strength of our economy allows us to maintain the mightiest military in the world, effectively enforcing a Pax Americana.

If you look at that 2008 Democratic primary, there was no more formidable, unstoppable candidate - other than an incumbent President - in modern times than Hillary Clinton.
