We believe in merit, that the best person gets the job, that you can achieve the maximum of your own potential without anybody standing in your way and speak your mind at every step of the way.

We should have the humility and the love of our country to not only admit that, but to embrace the challenge on the other side of it, to say that we're still going to strive to be better than we've ever been.
