"She promised the people of Iowa she would not be endorsing and I respect that very much. But we were glad to have her with us.

You know, the issue of national security is one that I care about deeply and she talked about how she trusted me on that, which is the most important thing a president does is to be commander-in-chief.

I'm very proud to be Joni's friend, to have supported her in the primary when she was running in a competitive field, because to me, she represents so much of what I hope the Republican Party will be about it in the 21st Century. So we were glad to have her with us. It really was a boost to us earlier this morning when a lot of Iowans turned out to hear her introduce me."
