At a rally in Charlotte, North Carolina, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump expressed regret for hurtful statements he has made in the past. "Sometimes, in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing," he said, "I have done that, and I regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain." <b>Related video</b>: <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/08/18/watch_live_donald_trump_gives_first_campaign_speech_since_hiring_stephen_bannon.html">Full Replay/Transcript: Donald Trump Gives First Campaign Speech Since Hiring Bannon & Conway</a> <b>Related video</b>: <a href="http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/08/18/trump_im_glad_i_make_the_powerful_uncomfortable_it_means_i_am_fighting_for_real_change.html">Trump: I'm Glad I Make The Powerful Uncomfortable, It Means I Am Fighting For Real Change</a> <blockquote>DONALD TRUMP: As you know, I am not a politician. I have worked in business, creating jobs and rebuilding neighborhoods my entire adult life. I’ve never wanted to learn the language of the insiders, and I’ve never been politically correct – it takes far too much time, and can often make more difficult. Sometimes, in the heat of debate and speaking on a multitude of issues, you don’t choose the right words or you say the wrong thing. I have done that, and I regret it, particularly where it may have caused personal pain. Too much is at stake for us to be consumed with these issues. But one thing I can promise you is this: I will always tell you the truth. I speak the truth for all of you, and for everyone in this country who doesn’t have a voice.</blockquote> Watch the full speech below: <iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/CeX92WOVvqM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
