Dan Quayle 2016: Unity, Experience, and Vision for America
Scottsdale, AZ, May 28th, 2015
Good morning!
I have no doubt many were surprised by my entrance to this race, after all it has been several years since I've been Vice-President. So, as an old debate opponent of mine asked, "Who am I? Why am I here?" Well I am Dan Quayle, Former Congressman, Senator, Vice-President, and current businessman. Why am I here? I believe the Republican party is divided, without a leader. And a house divided against itself cannot stand. The Republican Party needs someone who can bring it together, someone who can unite the entire party, and I believe I am that leader.
I have experience, I have served not only in the legislature, but also in the White House, something no other candidate among my colleagues can boast. I have been an active member of the Republican party, and I know where it stands, and I know we have a big tent. However, lately there has been discord from all sides of the tent, from one extreme to the other. We need to bring these ideas together, find a place where we can all stand, and I believe I represent that place.
Our country needs someone in the White House who doesn't have to play politics, or owes any favors in the legislature, I can assure you I have experience there, but I hold no oaths to anyone serving. I have experience and know how the White House works, and have significant foreign policy experience, something that no other Republican candidate can offer.
Moreover, I also have experience in revitalizing an economy, I worked with a democratic legislature as Republican, alongside President Reagan, and we brought back prosperity to the American people. With your support, we can revitalize this economy, have a secure foreign policy, and have a president that knows how things work and does not need any one the job training.
So let's work together, let's unite the Republican party, let's look towards a prosperous future, and let's put an experienced candidate in the White House!
