Well, I love North Dakota. I love the people of North Dakota. I love the geography and the resources of North Dakota.
So many times in my life... the risk that I've taken has been something where people said it can't be done.
We need a president that's focused on the challenges that we're being faced as a nation - not a president that's going to decide whether a book is in the right section or not in a library in a small town somewhere in America.
Think about it: if you were running a multi-million dollar company, and your database of customer information was stolen, would you want to tell your clients?
