I am confident about the next election. We have our candidates in place, we have our financing in place and we have our policies ready to go if need be,

We all know that I would have preferred an election by now. We didn't have one,

I like the position we're in. I think we're ready for an election. I think we've got the members, the money and candidates and the support we need to have an election at any time.

But in an American election, there are no losers, because whether or not our candidates are successful, the next morning we all wake up as Americans. And that -- that is the greatest privilege and the most remarkable good fortune that can come to us on earth.

Having hit a wall, the next logical step is not to bang our heads against it.

Leadership is not about the next election, it's about the next generation.
