I think, number one, i was frustrated i didnt do better. I could always, i guess, be a better candidate. Im proud of my team. But it was hard to get on the main debate stage. I did well in the debates, undercard debates, but they didnt last very long. What im most proud is two things the same guy who who entered the race. I didnt change my positions to try to curry favor with people. I tried to tell it like i believe it to be. On national security, i think above all others, i drove the debate, offered alternatives leading obamas approach to destroying isil, it does require more presence in iraq as opposed to syria. I think, after paris, what i said made more sense. In that regard, im very proud of the effort in my team to talk about how to defend this nation other than just criticizing obama, giving a concrete alternative, and now im proud to say most people in my party are coming my way, and isolationism is in our rearview mirror.

I think that was a mistake. I think my message did resinate when people heard it. I just didnt get in front of enough people to make a difference, but im glad i ran, and South Carolina has the chance to create momentum for a third choice other than trump or cruz, and i hope well take that opportunity.
