JOHN H. SUNUNU ENDORSES DONALD J. TRUMP
Former New Hampshire Governor, Chief of Staff To President George H.W. Bush Backs Trump-Pence Ticket
“Donald Trump is the only candidate in this race who can bring bold change to Washington D.C. I support the Trump-Pence ticket for their pro-growth agenda and commitment to protecting American interests. Republicans, Independents and smart Democrats need to come together to elect Donald Trump and Mike Pence.” – Governor John H. Sununu
STATEMENT FROM GOV. GARY JOHNSON REACTING TO TONIGHT’S PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
Sept. 26, 2016, New York, NY -- The following statement was released this evening by Gov. Gary Johnson reacting to tonight’s presidential debate:
“I heard Donald Trump describing a country I don’t recognize, and I heard Hillary Clinton writing checks we can’t possibly cash.
I suspect a great many of the millions who watched the debate did so in the hope that they would be inspired. With the possible exception of partisans on the extremes, I also suspect they were disappointed.
Americans don’t want their children and grandchildren to inherit a $20 trillion debt, and they didn’t hear anything tonight that will keep that from happening. Ms. Clinton and Mr. Trump are afraid to tell the truth about spending. It’s easier to just promise more of it and send the next generation the tab.
Americans believe in the Constitution and the protections it’s supposed to provide. Mr. Trump appears willing to ‘frisk’ those protections away if they get in the way of his version of fixing things. There was a time when Republicans believed in free trade and creating jobs through growth, not protectionism. What happened to that?
Our military men and women and their families deserve leadership they can trust to not send them into harm’s way to intervene in conflicts they can’t possibly resolve and which may or may not have a clear U.S. interest. They didn’t get any reassurance tonight. Americans want our military to protect us, not put their lives on the line to chase someone’s agenda.
We deserve better, but what we saw tonight was a promise that the bickering, the pandering and the polarization will continue. America is already great. It’s great leaders we are lacking, and I don’t think we found them on the stage tonight.
Maybe that's why Google searches for Gary Johnson are off the charts right now.”
More Iowa Leaders React to Donald Trump’s Debate Victory
DES MOINES, IA – Tonight the Iowa Trump-Pence campaign released the following additional statements from Hawkeye State leaders reacting to Donald Trump’s victory in tonight’s first Presidential Debate held at Hofstra University in New York.
"Tonight, Hillary Clinton did what she does best, she reinvented history. Donald Trump showed a clear vision for America, while Hillary Clinton showed why she is completely disqualified from serving as our next president. Americans are looking for a new direction after eight years of President Obama’s failures, but all we heard from her was more of the same stale pandering and falsehoods we’ve heard for the past two decades. If memorizing talking points is what it takes to be president, Hillary is right, she has been practicing for years. It isn’t surprising Donald Trump was the clear winner of tonight’s debate considering how Hillary Clinton continued her pattern of dishonesty and failed to explain her long history of unethical behavior." – Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann
“Tonight Donald Trump showed himself to be the man that I know and respect deeply. He showed that he is a leader of bold vision with an honest desire to restore our country to greatness. Hillary Clinton has demonstrated over the last thirty years that she cannot be trusted with classified materials, let alone to end the corrupt politics of the Washington elite, but Donald Trump can and will. Tonight was one big step in the right direction for this country, because it was a step further toward a Trump presidency.” — Tana Goertz, Senior Advisor, Donald J. Trump for President
GOVERNOR TERRY BRANSTAD STATEMENT ON DONALD J. TRUMP’S DEBATE VICTORY
“Tonight, Hillary Clinton once again reminded voters that she is dishonest and unfit for leadership. Voters know that while she is controlled by special interests in Washington, Donald Trump is a fresh new leader who will upend the status quo and put the American people first. As always, Donald Trump spoke from the heart during tonight’s debate and showed us the type of president he will be – a strong leader with serious plans to create millions of new jobs, confront radical Islamic terror, and take care of our nation’s veterans.” – Governor Terry Branstad (R-IA)
