“We need to show that we’re going to prioritize spending differently than we did under a Democratic administration,” he said. “We have to govern differently and show that we as Republicans believe in stronger citizens, and that’s one of the reasons why we promote the cause
“We have to govern differently and show that we as Republicans believe in stronger citizens, and that’s one of the reasons why we promote the cause for constitutionally limited government, because it makes for stronger citizens and more heroic communities,” he said.
