Cory Gardner for President!


Thank you, Yuma!

Today, I'm here in Yuma, Colorado, the place where I was born and raised, to talk about the state of our country and on our intentions to build a brighter future for all Americans.

America is great. We are still the most powerful nation in the world, we have a tremendous potential. But this potential was not fully unleashed in the past years. Twelve years caracterised by weak leadership, bad judgement and by a big government that is more than ever intruded in the lifes of hard-working Americans. It's time to change that, and that's why I'm running for President of the United States.

The federal government must not be involved as much as it's now in the lifes of American citizens. The government's role shall be to clear the way to the people in order to let them being successful and let them realize their desires. Clear the way to the people, not running the life of the people.

And when I say we'll clear the way to Americans, I mean that we'll cut taxes for business owners in order to put Americans back to work. We'll improve our education system, creating better opportunities of being successfull in life for our children and for all the generations to come. We'll repeal Obamacare and we'll replace it with a better system that will favour every citizen.

An area in which Presidents Obama and Clinton had been very week is foreign policy. If I'll be elected President, America will stand with its allies. We'll build an international coalition in order to defeat ISIS, we are gonna involve the moderate part of the Muslims. We'll stay with our european allies against eventual dangerous designs of Russia.

I consider myself as a new kind of republican. Look, Americans are angry. We are losing our role in the world, dangerous policies are dominating our lives by twelve years, the governments is bigger than ever before, Hillary Clinton proved that she is unable to put the United States in the right direction. Four years ago, Donald Trump was able to understand the fears of the American people, but if you want to be successful in solving the problems of the American people, you have to build a message that unites the country and not divides it. If you want to change things, you have to involve the minorities, you have to run on a positive message.

If we want to win, we have to run a positive, inspiring campaign that is able to catch the support not just of republicans, but the support of all people disatisfied with the direction of our country. Hispanics, and all minorities in general, shall not be our weakness anymore. If you want to win here in Colorado, you have to do that. Back in 2014, I ran a spirited, inspiring campaign, who got the support of people from all sides and that received praise from a lot of people. I won that election, and I'm 100% ready to do the same again!

It's time for a principled leader, with fresh and bold ideas able to bring common-sense solutions to the problems facing our nation, able to get support from all the people of this great nation. I already did that as Senator for the great state of Colorado. I'm that kind of leader and I'm ready to serve all the citizens of the United States of America.

Thank you so much and God bless you!

Is it possible for me to primary Hillary by running as Alvin Greene?

If that is too much of a joke candidate... Wink

Then I'd like to run Mia Love for the Republican nomination.

Will put up a speech once I know which candidate I can be.

I think that a recap of 2016/2018 Senate and Gubernatorial elections would be helpful! Smiley
