Americans Chose A Limited Government That Exists To Protect Our Rights, Not To Grant Them.

You Have Got To Know What You're Doing On Your Very First Day There. So, Look, This Is Not An Attack Or Anything Of That Nature. It's Just A Very Simple Observation. If You Want To Be President, You Have To Start Detailing Some Specific Public Policy. And I Don't Think From This Point Forward In The Campaign, Voters Are Going To Be As Tolerant Of The Lack Of That As They Have Been Up To Now.

These Terrorists Aren't Trying To Kill Us Because We Offended Them. They Attack Us Because They Want To Impose Their View Of The World On As Many People As They Can, And America Is Standing In Their Way.

America Is The Story Of Everyday People Who Did Extraordinary Things. A Story Woven Deep Into The Fabric Of Our Society.

Presidents In Both Parties - From John F. Kennedy To Ronald Reagan - Have Known That Our Free-enterprise Economy Is The Source Of Our Middle-class Prosperity.

We Have Reached A Moment In Our History Where We Think That Every Problem In America Has To Have A Federal Government Solution. Every Problem In America Does Not Have A Federal Government Solution. In Fact, Most Problems In America Do Not Have A Federal Government Solution And Many Of Them Are Created By The Federal Government To Begin With.

So The Majority Of Americans Are Conservatives. They Believe In Things Like The Constitution. I Know That's Weird To Some People But They Believe In It.

Americans Believe With All Their Heart, The Vast Majority Of Them, And The Vast Majority Of Floridians, That The United States Of America Is Simply The Single Greatest Nation In All Of Human History.

America Is Greatest Country; But Not Our Government.

There Are People That Borrow $36,000 To Go To Trump University, And They Are Suing Him Now. Thirty-six Thousand Dollars To Go A University, That's A Fake School.

I Always Tell People I'm Running Against Two Democrats, One That Admits It And One That Does Not.

I Think Strong Rhetoric And Strong Action Are Two Separate Things. Anyone Can Use Tough Words. Anyone Can Go Over The Top And Say Things That Sound Strong. But Sounding Strong Is Not Enough. You Have To Know Exactly How You're Going To Do It. And If You Look At Some Of The Policies He's Talked About, They Would Not Make America Stronger.

If Support For Traditional Marriage Is Bigotry, Then Barack Obama Was A Bigot Until Just Before The 2012 Election.

I Can Tell You What I Believe, Particularly About Mexican-americans: They Are A Community That Has Contributed Greatly To This Country, They Work Extremely Hard, They've Been Very Productive Citizens Of Our Country, And I Think That's True Of Many Ethnic Groups In This Country.

What's Important To Do Is We Must Deal Frontally With This Threat Of Radical Islamists, Especially From Isis. This Is The Most Sophisticated Terror Group That Has Ever Threatened The World Or The United States Of America.

I Would Vote Against Anything That Grants Amnesty Because I Think It Destroys Your Ability To Enforce The Existing Law

I've Seen How The Left Has Used It To Accuse Opponents Of Their Version Of Reform Of Being Bigots And Racists.

We Are Still A Country Where Hard Work And Perseverance Can Earn You A Better Life... Yet We Are Rightfully Troubled That Many Of Our People Are Still Caught In What Seems To Be A Pervasive, Unending Financial Struggle... Every American Deserves An Equal Opportunity To Achieve Success.

You Cannot Do Anything Without God.it's A Profound And Elemental Truth. Not, You Cannot Do Most Things Without God. You Will Not Be Able To Do Anything That You Want, Truly, In Fulfillment, Without God.

I Think That The Person Who Is Going To Be Nominated Will Be Nominated By The Convention.

The Triad Is Our Ability Of The United States To Conduct Nuclear Attacks Using Airplanes, Using Missiles Launched From Silos Or From The Ground, And Also From Our Nuclear Subs' Ability To Attack. And It's Important - All Three Of Them Are Critical. It Gives Us The Ability At Deterrence.

I Really - As I Said, I Wanted To Be President Of The United States. It Didn't Turn Out That Way.

We're Also Optimistic About The Future, But Only If We Do A Few Things.and That's A Big Difference In This Campaign Between Donald Trump's Campaign And Mine. And I Think That's Going To Begin To Matter A Lot More Now Because There Are Less People In The Race And More Time To Pay Attention To Some Of That.

Muslim Communities Are The Ones That Going To See Radicalization Happening At A Mosque Or Hear It In The Community Or Even Among Their Own Family Members. And The Other Part Is That There Is A Narrative That Isis And Other Jihadists Pose That This Is A War Between Muslims And The Rest Of The World.

Just Like Trump Tower, He [donald Trump] Must Have Hired A Foreign Worker To Do His Own Tweets.

Donald Trump Is Not A Republican. Donald Trump Is Not A Conservative. Donald Trump Is Trying To Pull Off The Biggest Scam In American Political History, Basically A Con Job, Where He's Trying To Take Over The Republican Party By Telling People He's Someone Who He Is Not.

We Will Either Bring On Another American Century, Or We Are Doomed To Witness America's Decline.

We Need To Have A Regulatory Budget In America That Limits The Amount Of Regulations On Our Economy. We Need To Repeal And Replace Obamacare And We Need To Improve Higher Education So That People Can Have Access To The Skills They Need For 21st Century Jobs.

The World Is A Safer And Better Place That The United States Is The Strongest Military Power On Earth. The Stronger You Are, The Less Likelihood You'll Ever Have To Use It.

I Traveled The State Of Florida For Two Years Campaigning. I Have Never Met A Job Creator Who Told Me That They Were Waiting For The Next Tax Increase Before They Started Growing Their Business. I've Never Met A Single Job Creator Who's Ever Said To Me I Can't Wait Until Government Raises Taxes Again So I Can Go Out And Create A Job.

Florida Is Not Going To Vote For A Con Artist Like Donald Trump.

Government Should Allow People To Go Out And Do The Things Americans Have Always Done, Create Jobs And Prosperity. And America's Role In The World - The World Is A Safer And Better Place When America Is The Strongest Country In The World.

For Years We Have Seen People Coming On Rafts, Etc., But Now We Are Seeing People Entering Central America, Costa Rica, Panama And Then They Have Nowhere To Go Because Those Countries Are Not - For Example, In Nicaragua, The Border Was Closed. I've Always Said That I'm Open To A Study On How Can It Be Changed.

Conservatives Believe That We Need To Defeat Radical Islam Not Because We Want War But Because Isis And Other Radical Islamist Are Enemies Of Peace And That's Why We Need A President, Who In Which Under Whom The Best Intelligence Agencies In The World Will Find Terrorists And The Best Military In The World Will Destroy Them. And If We Capture Them Alive, A President That Will Bring Them To The United States. A President That Will Grant Them A Court-appointed Lawyer, A President That Will Send These Terrorists Where They Belong, To Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

I Think, Again, On Issues Of Energy, How Are We Going To Fully Utilize Our Energy Resources In This Country? What Is The Role Of The Federal Government In Higher Education? What Kind Of Justices Would You Appoint To The Supreme Court, Not Just Because We Have A Vacancy Now, But At Least One Or Two Potentially In The Next Four To Eight Years?

Big Government Helps The People Who Have Made It. It Doesn't Help The People Who Are Trying To Make It; It Crushes The People Who Are Trying To Make It.

That Thought Process That Somehow Other People Have To Be Worse Off In Order For You To Be Better Off Does Not Work. People Get On Boats People Jump Fences To Get Away From That Kind Of Thought Process.

I'm Very Realistic About The Challenges We Face. Ok? I Have Seen It Up Close In 2010. It's Why I Ran For The Senate Five Years Ago. I Have Only Been There Five Years, But It's Been Enough Time To Know The Damage Barack Obama Has Done To This Country.

When I'm President, The Senate Bill Is Not Going To Be What We're Operating Off Of. It's Going To Begin By Focusing On Securing Our Border First And Foremost. And Until You Do That, You're Not Going To Be Able To Do Anything Else.

I Believe That The Cuban Adjustment Act Must Be Re-examined.

First, Undoubtedly, There Are Some People Who Are Coming From Cuba Who Immediately, Or From Any Other Country, Benefit. But, What Is The Difference Between That And Someone Who Is Coming From Nicaragua, Guatemala, Mexico, Etc.? That Is, We Are Simply Going To Say That Someone Who Comes From Another Country To The United States - The First Five Years They're Here - They Don't Qualify For Federal Benefits. They May Benefit From Local Benefits, State Benefits. Those Decisions Belong To Other Jurisdictions.

No Community Values Entrepreneurship And Small Business More Than The Hispanic Community.

Entrepreneurship

I'm More Than Happy To Share With You My Opinion On Donald Trump But I'm Running For President Because I Think This Country Needs To Reembrace The Constitution. This Country Needs To Reembrace Free Enterprise And It Needs To A Reembrace The Strong National Defense.

Voters Decided Otherwise [on Me As A President Candidate] And I Will Focus On My Work Here In The Senate Because I Have Nine Months Left. And After That, Later, As A Private Citizen, I Will Continue Looking For A Way To Contribute To The Cause Of Political Conservatism To Help Our State And Our Country And The Issues That Interest Me. But I Really Don't Want To Be Nor Do I Think That I Will Be Invited To Be Any Candidate's Vice President.

We Need To Put People On The Bench That Understand The Constitution Is Not A Living And Breathing Document. It Is To Be Interpreted As Originally Meant.

No. 1, It [amnesty For Illegal Aliens] Demoralizes The People That Are Going Through The Legal Process. It's A Very Clear Signal That Why Go Through The Legal Process If You Can Accomplish The Same Thing Through The Illegal Process? And No. 2, It Demoralizes The People Enforcing The Law. So I Am Not And I Will Never Support - Never Have And Never Will Support - Any Effort To Grant Blanket Legalization Amnesty To Folks Who Have Entered Or Stayed In This Country Illegally.

My Preference Is That We Beat Him [donald Trump] Outright In The Primary Process. And I Believe That's Exactly What's Going To Happen Here In The Next Few Weeks, Especially As We Move To Winner-take-all States. The Terrain Begins To Change.

Faith Greatly Shaped America's Role In The World. We Are A Country That Embodies The Bible Verse From Luke Chapter 12, Verse 48 "from Everyone Who Has Been Given Much, Much Will Be Demanded."

Leaders At The Highest Levels Of Our Government Are Undertaking A Deliberate And Systematic Effort To Redefine Our Government, Our Economy And Our Country.

Unlike Any Other Leader In Modern American History, We Are Led Today By A President That Has Decided To Pit Americans Against Each Other.

I Spent Six Years As A Child Growing Not Far From Las Vegas.i Use To Sit On The Porch Of Our Home And Listen To My Grandfather Tell Stories As He Smoked One Of Three Daily Cigars.one Of The Things My Grandfather Instilled In Me, Was That I Was Really Blessed Because I Was A Citizen Of The Greatest Country In The History Of Our Mankind.

Unfortunately, President Obama's Failed Policies Of New Regulations, Higher Taxes, And Obamacare And His Anti-business Rhetoric Have Hit Hispanics Especially Hard. Big Government Really Hurts Those Who Are Trying To Make It.

There Is One Way, Only One Way To Solve It, And That Is Through Legislation. It Cannot Be Through An Unconstitutional Executive Order That Violates The Constitution. That Is, It Doesn't Matter Here What You Think About Immigration: Here You Cannot Violate The Nation's Constitution, Period.

Aren't We In The Midst Of A Blitzkrieg, For A Lack Of A Better Term, Of Informational Warfare Conducted By Russian Trolls Under The Command Of Vladimir Putin?

Cubans Must Prove That They're Political Refugees. And If They Can Prove That They're Really Fleeing Persecution, Well, They Would Qualify As Refugees.

The Air Strikes Are Important [to Fight Isis], But We Need To Have An Air Force Capable Of It. And Because Of The Budget Cuts We Are Facing In This Country, We Are Going To Be Left With The Oldest And The Smallest Air Force We Have Ever Had. We Have To Reverse Those Cuts, In Addition To The Cuts To Our Navy And In Addition To The Cuts To Our Army, As Well.

We Have Seen In Recent Years A Large Increase In The Number Of People Coming In And Cases Of People Going Back, Living In Cuba, But Still Receiving American Benefits. That Cannot Be Justified.

The Best Thing That Could Happen For The President Donald Trump, And The Country, Is A Full And Credible Investigation.

Cuba Harbor Fugitives Of American Justice. There Are People Living On The Island Of Cuba Who Have Violated American Law, Including Those Who Have Stolen Millions Of Dollars From Medicare Fraud In South Florida And Have Fled To Cuba. Those Are Three Reasons Right There To Care About What Is Happening On The Island Of Cuba, Which Happens To Be 90 Miles From Our Shores, Basically A Neighboring Country.

The Problem Is, If El Chapo Builds A Tunnel Under The Fence, We Need To Deal With That Too.

The Most Important Thing Of All Is My Parents Were Able To Leave All Four Of Their Children Better Off Than Themselves. That Story Has A Name, It's Called The American Dream.

There Is A Lot Of Fiscal Conservatives In The United States Senate That Didn't Vote For That Because We Understand That National Security Spending Is Not The Reason Why We Have A Debt. Our Debt Is Being Driven By The Way Social Security, Medicare, And Medicaid And, By The Way, The Interest On The Debt Is Structured In The Years To Come.

Medicare And Medicaid

Legal Immigration Is Good For America, If It's Controlled And Structured Via The Legal Process, Of Course. But The Problem Is The System We Have In Place Right Now Is Broken. For Example, It Is Completely Family Based Which Means That It's Based Not On What You Can Do Or What Talent You Have Or What Merit You Bring Or What Job You Could Fill, But Rather On Whether You Know Someone Who Already Lives Here.

At A Time When The American Family Is Threatened As Never Before, Redefining It Away From The Union Of One Man And One Woman Only Promises To Weaken It As A Child-rearing, Values-conveying Institution.

A Massive Immigration Bill Has No Chance Of Becoming Law.

They [ The Government Of Puerto Rico] Are Asking To Be Given The Right To Declare Bankruptcy, Which I Think Should Be An Option, As A Last Resort, If There Is No Other Resource. But There Also Need To Be Measures, Changes Within The Government Of Puerto Rico, In The Ways That The Island's Funds Are Administered, Not Just To Deal With This Budget Issue, But Also To Have, To Attract The Economic Growth That Is Necessary For Puerto Rico To Begin To Grow Economically. They Are Losing Population, And They Are Losing Economically.

This Opportunity – To Make It To The Middle Class Or Beyond No Matter Where You Start Out In Life – It Isn't Bestowed On Us From Washington. It Comes From A Vibrant Free Economy Where People Can Risk Their Own Money To Open A Business.

My Father Stood Behind A Bar In The Back Of The Room All Those Years, So One Day I Could Stand Behind A Podium In The Front Of A Room. That Journey, From Behind That Bar To Behind This Podium, Goes To The Essence Of The American Miracle - That We're Exceptional Not Because We Have More Rich People Here. We're Special Because Dreams That Are Impossible Anywhere Else, Come True Here.

I Think War And Armed Conflict Is Always The Last Of All The Options You Have On The Table. I Think You Try To Avoid That At All Costs. Sometimes It's Unavoidable. That's The Lesson Of World War Ii. I Think The Other Lesson Of The Last 50 Or 60 Years, However, Is That, The Stronger The U.s. Military, The Stronger Our Defense Capabilities, The Stronger The Chances For Peace Are.

I Believe God Has Blessed Our Country. This Country Has Been Extraordinarily Blessed.

The Media Coverage For Donald Trump Has Been Almost Cheerleading Over The Last Couple Weeks. And I'm Convinced It's Because Many In The Press Want Him To Be The Nominee.

When Donald Trump's Projects Go Under, The First People That Don't Get Paid Are The Contractors That He's - Some Of Whom Have Gone Bankrupt. They're Calling Me. I'm Getting Nonstop E-mails And Calls Now From People That Have Been Scammed By Donald Trump. And Their Stories Are Heartbreaking.

I'm Not Running For Vice President, I'm Not Looking To Be Anyone's Vice President, I Want To Be The President.

The Erosion Of Equal Opportunity Is Among The Greatest Threats To Our Exceptionalism As A Nation. But It Also Provides Us With An Exciting And Historic Opportunity: To Help More People Than Ever Achieve The American Dream.

Isis Is The Most Sophisticated Terror Threat We Have Ever Faced. We Are Now At A Time When We Need More Tools, Not Less Tools. And That Took We Lost, The Metadata Program, Was A Valuable Tool That We No Longer Have At Our Disposal.

Appeasing The Castro Brothers Will Only Cause Other Tyrants From Caracas To Tehran To Pyongyang To See That They Can Take Advantage Of President Obama's Naiveté During His Final Two Years In Office. As A Result, America Will Be Less Safe As A Result Of The President's Change In Policy.

The Evidence Is Now Clear That The Majority Of People Coming Across The Border Are Not From Mexico. They're Coming From Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras. Those Countries Are The Source Of The People That Are Now Coming In Its Majority.

There Is Not A Single Person In The National Defense Apparatus Of This Country That Can Guarantee You Are Going To Be 100 Percent Right. And That's Why As President, I'll Take This Very Seriously.

First, Donald Trump Took Out Like This Little Make Up Compact Like Right Here, Because He Had A Sweat Mustache.

We Have Seen How Zika Has Become A Very Serious Problem In Brazil, In Other Parts Of Latin America, In This Hemisphere. During The Summer It Can Arrive Very Quickly Here In South Florida, In The Whole State. In A Very Hot Climate In Summer, Where Mosquitos Begin To Spread Very Quickly, It's A Very Serious Threat.

I Believe That Every Single Human Being Is Entitled To The Protection Of Our Laws, Whether They Can Vote Or Not. Whether They Can Speak Or Not. Whether They Can Hire A Lawyer Or Not. Whether They Have A Birth Certificate Or Not. And I Think Future Generations Will Look Back At This History Of Our Country And Call Us Barbarians For Murdering Millions Of Babies Who We Never Gave Them A Chance To Live.

Once Again, America Finds Itself With Some Leaders Who Believe We Can Ignore The World Without Consequences Here At Home. Apparently They're Oblivious To The Reality That We Are Less Insulated From Global Events Than Ever Before.

I Think There Are Some In The Democratic Party - Not All - But I Think There Are Some People In The Democratic Party That Think That The Immigration Issue Is More Valuable To Them Unsolved. That It Gives Them Something To Talk About, That They Can Go Back To Hispanic Communities And Make Unrealistic Promises Every Two Years And Win Votes.

If You Elect Me President, We Will Have A President That Believes America Is The Greatest Country In The World And We Will Have A President That Acts Like It.

This Country Is Facing An Economy That Has Been Radically Transformed.and These Changes Have Been Disruptive. They Have Changed People's Lives. The Jobs That Once Sustained Our Middle Class, They Either Don't Pay Enough Or They Are Gone, And We Need Someone That Understands That As Our Nominee.

The Reason Why I'm Here Today Is To Explain Why I Am Running And What I Will Do If You Give Me The Honor And The Privilege Of Representing You In The United States Senate. Now I'm Running For The United State Senate For A Simple Reason, And That Is...i Want To Win A Nobel Peace Prize.

People Are Really Angry At Washington. And They Have A Right To Be. It's Why I Ran In 2010, By The Way.

Government Doesn't Have To Be The Enemy, But Too Much Government Has Produced A New Kind Of Inequality In America: Opportunity Inequality.

It Was A Very Unusual Year [2015]. You Usually Don't Have Five Campaigns Operating Full Time In A State This Late Into The Process, Three States In. But I Feel Great That Now That The Choices Have Become Less And Less, More And More That New Voter Or Alternative To Donald Trump Vote, Is Going To Coalesce Around Us.

Let's Be Clear About What This [presidential] Campaign Is About. It's Not About Donald Trump, He's An Entertaining Guys, He's The Greatest Show On Earth.

If You're Running To Be President Of The United States, You Can't Just Tell People You're Going To Make America Great Again. I Think You Need To Begin To Explain Exactly How You're Going To Do It Policy-wise. We're Not Going To Win A General Election With A Candidate That Refuses To Detail Policy.

We Can't Be Playing Around With These Issues [zika Disease], Because This Can Become Very Serious Very Quickly, As We Have Seen In Brazil And Other Countries.

For More Than Two Generations, My Family Had Never Achieved Their Ambitions. Their Talents Were Unappreciated And Unused. They Deserved Better. They Hadn't Done Anything Wrong; They Just Had Some Bad Breaks. Why Was I Succeeding? Why Was I Living My Dreams? I Wasn't More Deserving Than They Were. I Wasn't Smarter Or A Better Person.

I Am Privileged To Be A Citizen Of The Single Greatest Society In All Of Human History.

I Want Immigration Reform To Pass, I Want People To Be Able To Come Out Of The Shadows.

We Believe In Traditional Values Because Without Them, Without The Belief In An All-powerful God, Then The Very Founding Of Our Country Was Meaningless. It Was Founded On The Principles That Our Rights Come From God. If There Is No God, Then Where Do Your Rights Come From Other Than What Your Leaders Decide They Are?

I Don't Ever Remember Them Telling Us Or Teaching Us That The Only Way We Could Be More Successful Is If Other People Were Less Successful. They Never Inculcated The Belief That Somehow, In Order For Us To Climb The Ladder, Other People Have To Come Down From The Ladder.

The Greatest Thing That We Can Do For The World Is Be America.

Poverty Does Not Create Our Social Problems...our Social Problems Create Our Poverty.

And That Is The Same As Always.

Let Me Tell You Something, Last Night In The Debate, During One Of The Breaks, Two Of The Breaks, Donald Trump Went Backstage... He Asked For A Full Length Mirror.

We Do Have To Treat People The Way Americans Always Treat People, With The Highest Level Of Compassion And Care. But They Will Have To Be Returned, Because That Is The Law.

There Are Going To Be Stories Of Very Young Kids That Were Brought To This Country At A Very Young Age Who Don't Even Speak Spanish That Are Going To Be Sent Back To Nicaragua Or Some Other Place. And It's Gonna Feel Weird And I Understand That. The Goal Here Is To Have An Immigration Policy That Works. And If You Provide A Path For People To Enter This Country Illegally And If They Stay Here Long Enough And Pay Enough In Taxes, Well Let Them Stay Legally...why Would Anyone Come In Through The Legal Process?
