Any Republican presidential candidate who is supporting a risky tax cut that would hurt our children -- especially in areas like Head Start and Title I -- has little credibility talking about education. Sound like the Texas two-step to me.

My intentions are to be the Republican candidate.

It breaks up the status quo and it will certainly fracture the Republican vote and give a Democratic candidate an opportunity like there hasn't existed in a long time.

I think he did challenge the Democrats, unlike any modern Republican presidential candidate, on the question of the basic direction of American government, particularly as it dealt with domestic policies and domestic economics, ... And it did shift the grounds of the debate.

He got a tax cut of $100,000 and you only got $1.

Not continuing a tax cut is not technically a tax increase.
