If you're running for president, you've got to do a lot of things to line up a candidacy. I've not done any of those things. It's not my plan. My plan is to be a good chairman of the House Budget Committee and fight for the fiscal sanity of this nation. ↗

I think that candidates who have pending cases of blood crimes and economic crimes must be definitely banned. ↗
