I’m going to Albany to take out a government, to take out a culture … I’ve illustrated I believe in intestinal fortitude to take on the demons.

When the phonies are expelled from their leadership roles and the Republican Party backs a moderate gubernatorial candidate acceptable to the rank and file with proper financing and the intestinal fortitude to fight the good fight, the rank and file will rejoin the fold.

I want everyone in the Republican party who opposed me to know this: you are welcome to join this people's crusade. Come aboard. You are both welcome and needed. If we unite, we'll win - and we'll rebuild New York.

Attacking a lightning rod doesn't make you lightning…

We're going to restructure the state government into a government that's responsive to the needs of New York state taxpayers.

I see a New York that is once again the empire state.
