He’s about to announce officially, but we already know his answer. His campaign website is up and running. Stand by for updates.
Update: He opens with a tribute to the Navy SEALs we lost recently. He’s from a small town, his mother sewed his clothes, he was an Eagle scout, his father a veteran of WWII, and married his high school sweetheart.
Growing up on a farm, he learned the values of hard work and thrift. But it wasn’t until he joined the Air Force that he fully understood the blessings of liberty. Quotes Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln. Attacks socialist systems that cloak tyranny in the garb of compassion.
“We don’t see the role of government as guaranteeing outcomes,” he says. “There is no taxpayer money that wasn’t first earned by the sweat and toil of one of our citizens.”
“We can not afford four more years of this rudderless leadership.”
IT’S OFFICIAL: He officially announces he’s a candidate for president of the United States.
