"There's a change happening in America. Realignment is real. What the American people see is that the other party just keeps going in circles. And that's just like...when you get lost in the woods; if every time you come to a decision you lean to the left, you will wind up going in circles. Now, in contrast, we're going forward with confidence and with gusto. Gusto—that's Republican for vigor... One of the reasons the American people have turned to us is that we don't waver from our commitment to do what's necessary to keep our country safe and to secure the blessings of liberty for our children and our children's children."

--—Ronald Reagan
