“I don’t mean this disrespectfully at all: I don’t follow every word of what you guys record or write”, he said, explaining how he stays focused amid the lousy press lately. “That’s what I did”.
“It’s about doing”, the two-term Republican Florida governor told supporters in Jacksonville, the last of three stops on Monday.
“I like that he says the same thing”. “But I know how to get to where I need to be, and worrying about the here and now is just completely irrelevant”. You’re going to be logging a lot of miles on this thing?
