Washington has, with some justification, gained a reputation for being hopelessly mired in partisan gridlock.

There was reference made to our leaders being stupid. It's not a question of stupidity. It's that they don't want to enforce the immigration laws. That there are far too many in the Washington cartel that support amnesty.

Hillary Clinton embodies the corruption of Washington.

I am not the candidate of career politicians in Washington.

I have a bad reputation for being temperamental.

What I try to keep an eye on is I don't work for the party bosses in Washington. I work for 26 million Texans.
