The republicans we have, senators, governors, private sector. I look at where we are as a party. The republicans want to be the party of the future. We want to be the party that is ,eally embracing new ways challenging the status quo, and addressing outdated models that are not meeting the needs. Look at these agencies. Look at the Veterans Administration that is failing our veterans. These are outdated models. I am excited about a party that is not just on the president ial side. Now, we haveright the next generation of conservative leadership. We have had two thirds of the republicans in the house elected in the last five years or less. There has been a a lot of turnover, new blood, and there are people that ran for office because they are really concerned about the direction evencountry is taking, but more fundamental than that, i think there is a fundamental fear that we are losing our government, representative government. When you see so many decisions being made outside of congr

With the expansion of medicaid. In addition, it dumps 15 million to 18 million lowincome americans into a Medicaid Program that none of us would want to be a part of because 50 of the doctors wont see new patients. So its like giving someone a ticket to a bus line when the bus only runs half the time. Thats what i said 5 1 2 years ago. Medicaid had already always been one of the federal governments biggest unfunded federal mandates. And expanding that mandate on states would only wreak more havoc on state budgets that especially at that time during the height of the recession were already struggling. Our former tennessee governor, bill bradison, a democrat, said the proposed Medicaid Expansion under obamacare would represen represent quote the mother of all unfunded mandates. When i was governor of tennessee in the 1980s, medicaid made up only about 8 of tennessees state budget. By last year, it was 30. 6 .

Specific future things . In particular, we talked about the pivot for america. What about the European Union . Which we will not know in the next strategy whether the u. K. Will be part of the European Union on or not. So will that be spelled out, the implications being in or out and specifically, how it will change if the u. K. Ceases to be a member of the European Union . My strategy linked in with the National Security strategy is that we secure a referendum and i want to recommend that we should remain part of a reformed European Union and i plan on the basis of success rather than the basis of anything else. But we dont european issues, we havent dealt within the National Security council. We dealt with them elsewhere in government. I accept it has important implications to the u. K. I think we should plan on the basis of what we want to achieve. Yes. Its a democratic vote. If people are going to vote the other way, despite your recommendation, it has strategic implications. I mea
