The executive Committee should do what it feels is necessary to continue leading a strong, unified Republican Party in Kentucky. We will support their decision.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.

It's as much for internal [Republican] consumption as it is for public consumption. They have a very demanding wing that's conservative and intense on social issues whom they have to satisfy to get them to vote and to keep them on the reservation.

The Republican Party is too fixated on this fiction of electability.

They're anti-government ideologues who dominate the Republican Party.

It's like Kentucky in California, ... It has potential to be a great horse ranch, to produce great runners.
