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

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

Of Course There Are Critics Who Believe That No Matter What We Do, The Florida Dream Is Over. They Claim That We Must Accept The Idea That Inevitably Our Future Is One Of High Taxes And Big Government.

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.

The Practical Reality That In Order For Us To Identify Homegrown Violent Extremism And Prevent It Or Root It Out Before It Takes Action, We Are Going To Need The Cooperation Of Muslim Communities In This Country.

It Is A Health Care Law [obamacare] That Is Basically Forcing Companies To Lay People Off, Cut People's Hours, Move People To Part-time. It Is Not Just A Bad Health Care Law, It Is A Job-killing Law.

If We Capture Any Of These Isis Killers Alive, They Are Going To Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, And We're Going To Find Out Everything They Know, Because When I'm President, Unlike Barack Obama, We Will Keep This Country Safe.

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.

Some Have Become More Critical Than Others; For Example, The Submarines. And That's The Ohio Class Submarine That Needs To Be Modernized. The Air Component Also Needs To Be Modernized. The B-52, As Someone Earlier Pointed Out, Is An Outdated Model That Was Flown By The Grandparents Of People That Are Flying It Now. And We Need A Serious Modernization Program As Well On Our Silo-launched Missiles. All Three Are Critical For The Defense Of The Country.

I Don't Care How Much You May Think They're Funny Or How Interesting They May Sound. If We Nominate Someone That 40 To 50 Percent Of Our Party Doesn't - Can't Stand, We Are Going To Lose.

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

We Have A Violence Problem In America. And No One Is Having A Debate About The Violence Problem. And I Think This Is A Missed Opportunity To Have An Honest And Open Conversation In This Country About Why These Horrifying Things Are Happening, Not Simply What They're Using To Carry This Out, But Why Are People Doing This To Begin With?

Cuban Agents Are Assigned To A Catholic Church Where Their Instructions Are To Beat, Jail And Intimidate The Ladies In White That Attend Mass And Who Afterwards Peacefully Take To The Streets Calling For The Release Of Their Husbands, Sons And Fathers Who Are Political Prisoners.

That Is, I Think That What I Do, That Democracy In Venezuela Hasn't Really Worked Well Since The [ugo] Chávez Era And That It Has Gotten Even Worse Since The Last Elections, In Which The Maduro Government Lost Control Of The House, Of The Country's Legislature.

I Would Love Nothing More Than Compromise. But I Would Say To You That Compromise That's Not A Solution Is A Waste Of Time.

Being A Conservative Can Never Be About Simply An Attitude. Being A Conservative Cannot Simply Be About How Long You're Willing To Scream, How Angry You're Willing To Be Or How Many Names You're Willing To Call People. That Is Not Conservative.

It's Not In Our Nature. Americans Have Never Been A People That Drive Through A Nice Neighborhood And Say, 'oh, I Hate The People Who Live In These Nice Houses.'

These Economic, Social, Cultural And Educational Causes Of Opportunity Inequality Are Complex. And They Will Not Be Solved By Continuing With The Same Stale Washington Ideas. Five Decades And Trillions Of Dollars After President Johnson Waged His War On Poverty, The Results Of This Big-government Approach Are In.

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.

Conservatism Has Always Been About Reforming Government And Solving Problems, And That's Why The Conservative Movement Should Lead On Immigration Reform.

We Must Change The Decisions We Are Making By Changing The People Who Are Making Them.

You Know Those Movies Where The People In The Audience Are Screaming, 'don't Go In That Door!' Because You Know The Killer Is There? Well, It Is The Same Thing With This Debt. We Know How This Ends.

I Honestly Believe That Once People Begin To Understand What's At Stake Here, That We Have A Chance Here Not Just To Make Our Country Great, But Greater Than It's Ever Been, And We Have A Plan To Do It, I Think Is Going To Begin To Influence A Lot Of Voters, Not To Mention Coalesce Those Maybe Who Were With Someone Else First Around Us.

I Do Think We Lost Some Of The Focus On The Attacks In San Bernardino And Focused On A Plan That Isn't Really A Plan And Is Never Going To Happen.

How Is Hillary Clinton Going To Lecture Me About Living Paycheck To Paycheck? I Was Raised Paycheck To Paycheck.

Isis Is A Radical Jihadist Group That Is Increasingly Sophisticated In Its Ability, For Example, To Radicalize American Citizens, In Its Inability To Exploit Loopholes In Our Legal Immigration System, In Its Ability To Capture And Hold Territory In The Middle East, As I Outlined Earlier, In Multiple Countries.

We Have A Government That Borrows $4 Billion A Day. We Have A Government That Owes Trillions Of Dollars In Debt, Half Of That To Foreigners, Most Of That To Chinese Investors. I Don't - That Is Extreme. Not Only Is It Extreme. It's Insane And It's Unsustainable.

We Need To Repeal And Replace Dodd-frank Act. We Need To Make America Fair Again For All Businesses, But Especially Those Being Run By Small Business Owners.

You Know What The Fastest Growing Religion In America Is? Statism. The Growing Reliance On Government.

If Cuba Wants Normal Relations, There's Certain Things They Need To Do Like Become A Normal Country That Respects The Rights Of Their Citizens.

We Chose More Freedom Instead Of More Government. We Chose The Principles Of Our Founding To Solve The Challenges Of Our Time. We Chose A Special Man To Lead Us In A Special Time. We Chose Mitt Romney To Lead Our Nation.

Donald Trump Says Five Things: Everyone's Dumb, He's Going To Make America Great Again, We're Going To Win, Win, Win. He's Winning In The Polls.

Ted Cruz Said He Wanted To Find A Compromise. Ted Cruz Said He Wanted To Bring 11 Million People Out Of The Shadows. Ted Cruz Said That He Wanted Immigration Reform To Pass. Here's The Bottom Line. I Tried To Solve A Very Difficult Issue, And We Tried To Produce The Best And Most Conservative Bill Possible In A Senate Controlled By Harry Reid At The Time, And Then Send It Over To The House And Have Them, Conservatives, Make It Even Better.

Let Me Begin By Saying That We Have To Understand Who Isis Is. Isis Is A Radical Sunni Group. They Cannot Just Be Defeated Through Air Strikes. Air Strikes Are A Key Component Of Defeating Them, But They Must Be Defeated On The Ground By A Ground Force. And That Ground Force Must Be Primarily Made Up Of Sunni Arabs Themselves, Sunni Arabs That Reject Them Ideologically And Confront Them Militarily.

Free Enterprise Is The Best Economic System In The History Of The World, Because It Is The Only System Where You Can Make Poor People Richer And You Don't Have To Make Rich People Poor.

Increasing Access To Federal Student Loans Has Been A Bipartisan Effort In Washington, One That I Have Supported. But It Has Created What Many Experts Believe Is A Bubble In Higher Education, Not Unlike The Housing Bubble That Preceded The Financial Crisis.

You Know That Big Government Doesn't Hurt Big Corporations. They've Got The Best Lawyers And Accountants In The World. You Know Who Gets Destroyed By Big Government? It's The Little Guys.

All Human Life At Every Stage Of Its Development Is Worthy Of Protection.

No Economic System Is Perfect. But The American Free Enterprise System Has Empowered Millions Of People In The Past. I Know, Because I Saw It With My Own Eyes.

I'm Proud Of The Fact That The Republican Party Is The Pro-life Party On The Issue Of Life.

National Security - The Military Is The First Thing We Should Spend Money On. You Have To Fully Fund That First. And Then You Should Be Paying For Everything Else.

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?

I Don't Want Us To Have A President That We Constantly Have To Be Explaining To Our Kids, I Know That's What The President Did But You Shouldn't Do That. I Don't Want That. We Actually Had A President Like That Not Long Ago. It Was Really Bad.

Everybody Spies On Everybody, I Mean, That's Just A Fact.

America Is Not A Special Country By Accident. It Did Not Happen On Its Own. It Happened Because For Over 200 Years, Each Generation Before Us Did What Needed To Be Done.

I Think What's Important For Us To Understand And There Is A Way Forward On This Issue That We An Bring Our Country Together On. And While I'm President I Will Do It. And It Will Begin By Bringing Illegal Immigration Under Control And Proving To The American People.

There's Never Going To Be A Time Where The Republican Party Rallies Around And Says You Have To Get Out Or Anyone Has To Get Out For Purposes Of Rallying Around Donald Trump.

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. The Funds Are Going To Be Used At The State Level, But It Is Important For The Federal Government To Cooperate In The Federal Government's Role.

I Think It's A Mistake To View North Korea As A Government. It Really Is More Like A Criminal Syndicate.

I Challenge The Republican Nominees And All Republicans To Not Just Be The Anti-illegal Immigration Party. That's Not Who We Are And That's Not Who We Should Be We Should Be The Pro-legal Immigration Party.

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

Despite Our Differences, I Know That Both Republicans And Democrats Love America.

Roberta Jacobson Is In Charge Of A Department Within The State Department With Which, On Other Occasions, I Have Had Problems With Regarding The Answers They Gave Me.

Every Generation In America Has Faced The Same Question, Do We We Want America To Be Special? Or Do We Just Want America To Be Another Country? The Time Has Come Again.

What I'm Not - I Can't Control Other People's Campaigns. If They Decide That's What They Want To Do With Their Time And Money, They Certainly Have A Right To Do It.

After A Migratory Crisis On The Border With Minors Coming Over That You're Seeing Start Up Again Now, After All These Executive Orders The President Has Issued. More Than Ever We Need To Prove To People That Illegal Immigration Is Under Control.

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.

I Do Not Believe That Russians Changed The Outcome Of The Election. I Want To Be Clear About That. But I Do Think That It Is Very - Some Of The Things We Saw Are Very Reminiscent Of The Active Measures That Russian Intelligence And Before That Soviet Intelligence Agencies Used To Try To Undermine The Government Or Individual Politicians In Foreign Countries.

I Do Not Believe That Human Activity Is Causing These Dramatic Changes To Our Climate The Way These Scientists Are Portraying It... And I Do Not Believe That The Laws That They Propose We Pass Will Do Anything About It - Except, They Will Destroy Our Economy.

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.

It Should Not Be Hard To Say That Vladimir Putin's Military Has Conducted War Crimes In Aleppo Because It Is Never Acceptable For Military To Specifically Target Civilians, Which Is What's Happened There, Through The Russian Military.

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

Barack Obama's A Terrible Commander-in-chief. He Is Gutting Our Military. It's Not An Exaggeration.

I'm Always Talking About The Issue Of Puerto Rico.i Also Spoke About It On The Senate Floor, And I Think It Should Be Given The Importance, The Priority It Deserves.

I Would Like To See More Of A Democratic Opening On The Island Of Cuba, Things Like, I Don't Know, Free Press, Stop Putting People In Jail Because They Do Not Agree With You Politically, Stop Helping Countries Like North Korea Evade U.n. Sanctions, Don't Invite The Russians To Open A Military Base 90 Miles From Our Shores, Allow Independent Political Parties To Be Able To Function.

We Americans Are Free To Give Our Opinions And Make Our Voices Heard. We Work In A Free Enterprise Economy That, For Over 200 Years, Has Lifted Countless Individuals Above The Circumstances Of Their Birth To Achieve Their God-given Potential. We Have Been An Exceptional Country Because, Here, People Are Free To Practice Their Faiths And Worship God.

We've Learned More From The Newspapers Sometimes Than We Do From Our Open Hearings, For Sure.

The Democrats Never Fight About Who Is More Like Jimmy Carter.

I Think, In The Long Term It's In The Goal Of Everyone To See A Unified Korea That Actually Provides For The People Of North Korea The Kind Of Life That They Need.

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. What Was The Difference Between Us That Allowed Me To Attain So Much In A Short Time? America. America Was The Difference. I Had Been Born A Citizen Of The Greatest Nation In All Of Human History.

Here's A Guy That Inherited $200 Million. If He Hadn't Inherited $200 Million, You Know Where Donald Trump Would Be Right Now?

I Haven't Thought About Aspirations For The Future. I Like Politics, I Like Serving The Public, And We'll See If God Offers Us Another Opportunity In The Future.

There Is Nothing That We Are Allowed To Do Under Usa Freedom Act That We Could Not Do Before.

I Run For President Because I Believe That We Can't Just Save The American Dream; We Can Expand It To Reach More People And Change More Lives Than Ever Before.

I'm Not Interested In Being Donald Trump Or Anybody Else's Vice President, That's Not What I'm Aiming At.

I've Always Said That The Cuban Regime Will Not Change Politically.

I Just Think You've Created An Industry Now, Where You Create The Situation Where Very Much You've Created An Incentive For People Not Just To Look Forward To Having More Abortions But Being Able To Sell That Fetal Tissue For Purposes - These Centers - For Purposes Of Making A Profit Off Of It, As You've Seen In Some Of These Planned Parenthood Affiliates.

You Cannot Give Up On The American Dream. We Cannot Allow Our Fears And Our Disappointments To Lead Us Into Silence And Into Inaction.

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

The American People Don't Trust The Federal Government To Enforce Our Immigration Laws, And We Will Not Be Able To Do Anything On Immigration Until We First Prove To The American People That Illegal Immigration Is Under Control. And We Can Do That. We Know What It Takes To Do That.

Presidents Don't Have The Benefit Of Hindsight. You Have To Make Difficult Decisions Based On The Information That's Before You At That Moment.

The Key That Opens That Door Is Proving To The American Public That Illegal Immigration Is Under Control. And At This Point, That Argument Cannot Be Made Because It Is Not True, It Is Not Under Control.

2010 Is Not Just A Choice Between Republicans And Democrats. 2010 Is Not Just A Choice Between Liberals And Conservatives. 2010 Is A Referendum On The Very Identity Of Our Nation.

This Is The Only Country In The World Where Today's Employee, Is Tomorrow's Employer.

Now, Look, It's True, Americans Do Want Leaders That Will Come To Washington, D.c. And Work Together To Get Things Done, But That Comes With A Very Important Caveat, It Depends What They're Trying To Do.

Working Together

As Pope Francis Visits The United States For The Very First Time, It Is Our Privilege As Catholics And Americans To Welcome His Holiness To Our Country. Here, He Will Find People Who Are Uniquely Free.

First, The Federal Government, One Of The Fundamental Responsibilities That It Has Is To Protect The Nation's Health And Wellbeing. And This [zika Virus] Is A Threat To Public Health In The United States. It Is A Very Serious Disease.

Donald Trump Is Pulling Off A World-class Scam Here. I Mean, He's Telling People He's All These Things That He's Never Been His Entire Life. He Says He's Fighting For The Little Guy, The Working Class. He Has Spent His Entire Business Career Sticking It To Working People.

We Do Need Our Defense Capabilities. It Is A Fact That The Cuts We Are Facing Today And The Cuts That Senator [ted] Cruz Would Have Supported Would Leave Us With An Even Smaller Air Force And A Smaller Navy Than The One We Are Going To Be Left With.

Even Today With The Problems That We Face, Who Would You Rather Be? Which Country Would You Trade Places With?

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.

Welders Make More Money Than Philosophers. We Need More Welders And Less Philosophers.

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.

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 There's A Growing Amount Of Confusion About What Conservatism Is. And It Is Time For Us To Understand That Conservatism Is Not Built On Personalities. Conservatism Is Not Simply Built On How Angry You Might Seem From Time To Time. Conservatism Is Built On A Set Of Principles And Ideas That Our Nation Desperately Needs.

A Sense That With The Blessings That God Bestowed Upon This Land, Came The Responsibility To Make The World A Better Place.

Ted [cruz], You Support Legalizing People Who Are In This Country Illegally.

People Have A Right To Be A Democrat. People Have A Right To Be Wrong. I Know They're The Same Thing.

When You're The Commander In Chief, You're The Commander In Chief On Day One. You Don't Get Like A Six-month Grace Period. The World Doesn't Just Stop And Say, Well, Let's Wait Until The President Catches Up Before We Start Challenging America.

We Should Be The Pro-legal Immigration Party. A Party That Has A Positive Platform And Agenda On How We Can Create A Legal Immigration System That Works For Immigrants And Works For America.

I Don't Agree With The Notion That Some Are Putting Out There, Including Scientists, That Somehow There Are Actions We Can Take Today That Would Actually Have An Impact On What's Happening In Our Climate.

They're Willing To Accept Changes On The Part Of The U.s. That Contribute To More Money Entering Cuba So They Can Benefit. But In Terms Of Political Changes On The Island, An Opening, Etc., That Won't Happen, That Won't Change, And I've Always Said That, From The Beginning. I've Even Said That It Doesn't Matter How Many Tourists Who To Cuba, How Many Times The President Visits Cuba; There Won't Be Any Changes In The Cuban Government's Posture. And That Is The Same As Always.

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.

We Must Remember That In The House, Congressman [carlos] Curbelo Has A - The Same Law, And It Has A Lot Of Support In The House. It's Possible That It Will Happen First In The House And Then Go To The Senate.

Immigration Is Not An Issue That I Read About In The Newspaper Or Watch A Documentary On Pbs Or Cnn. It's An Issues I've Lived Around My Whole Life. My Family Are Immigrants. My Wife's Family Are Immigrants. All Of My Neighbors Are Immigrants.

We Have To Show What Life Is Really Like In Isis Territory, And We Have To Show Them Why Isis Is Not Invincible, By Going Out And Conducting These Attacks And Publicizing Them To Those Who They Recruit.

With Unemployment Still Abysmally High, The Obama Economy Is Crushing Hispanics' Dreams For Their Children To Live A Better Life.

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.

The 21st Century Looks Different. It's Been Very Disruptive. It Has Created A Lot Of Insecurity. We Have To Adjust To That, Because The 21st Century Has Real Promise. Now, The Higher-paying Jobs Of This New Century Are Fantastic. The Problem Is, You Have To Have Some Level Of Higher Education, Maybe Not A Four-year Degree, But Some Level Of Higher Education, To Get Those Jobs.

Barack Obama Doesn't Believe In Free Enterprise. He's Never Going To Admit It. For Instance, He's Never Going To Come Straight Out And Say, 'if You Own A Business You Didn't Build It.' Alright, Maybe He Will.

We Have Also Seen An Economic Crisis That Is Very Serious Within Venezuela, We Are Seeing Cutbacks, I Believe Even More Are Coming In Terms Of Electricity. Government Employees No Longer Work On Fridays, And That Has Not Been Enough.

Every Single Day, Something Comes Out Of The [ted] Cruz Campaign That's Deceptive And Untrue, And In This Case, Goes After My Faith. This Is A Pattern Now, And I Think We're Now At A Point Where We Start Asking About Accountability.

This Is The Greatest Society In All Of Human History, The Greatest Country Ever. Many Of The Decisions Being Made In Washington Today By Both Parties Are Threatening That Greatness. And If We Stay On This Road We're On Right Now, Our Children Are Going To Be The First Americans Ever To Inherit A Diminished Country.

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.

Humans Are Not Responsible For Climate Change In The Way Some Of People Are Trying To Make Us Believe, For The Following Reason: I Believe The Climate Is Changing Because There's Never Been A Moment Where The Climate Is Not Changing.

No Matter Where You're Born In Life Or What The Circumstances Are When You're Born, Like Your Parents Being Poor Or Not Connected To Power, You Have A Chance In This Country To Go As Far As Your Talent And Your Work Will Take You.

The Government Can't Change The Weather.

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.

You Know Who A Complicated Tax Code Kills? The Guy Or Gal Trying To Start A Business Out Of The Spare Bedroom Of Their Home. So We've Got To Simplify Our Tax Code.

We [the Usa] Have A $16 Trillion Debt Which These Tax Increases Will Do Nothing To Solve And You Will Have At Least 200,000 Less Jobs Next Year Than You Have Now. And The People Who Vote For That Will Be Responsible For That Decision And They Will Held Accountable For That Terrible Public Policy.

What Is The Conservative Movement? It's Pretty Straightforward. We Believe That The Way Prosperity Is Created Is When People Have The Freedom And The Opportunity To Pursue Their Dreams.

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

Entrepreneurship

[nicolas Maduro] Completely Controls The Judicial Branch, Controls The Courts, Has Denied Their Basic Rights And The Responsibility That The Legislative Branch Has In That Country.

Well, Who's Going To Be Fired When Ted Cruz Is President? Because This Campaign Now Has Repeatedly Done Things That They Have To Apologize For And No One's Ever Held Accountable.

My Parents Were Working Class Folks. My Dad Was A Bartender For Most Of His Life, My Mom Was A Maid And A Cashier And A Stock Clerk At Walmart. We Were Not People Of Financial Means In Terms Of Significant Financial Means. I Always Told Them, 'i Didn't Always Have What I Wanted. I Always Had What I Needed.' My Parents Always Provided That.

American Dream Is Under Assault. People That Haven't Been Able To Find A Job In Months And This Growing Sense In This Country That This Is The New Normal, Well We Can't Accept That.

For Centuries, Faith Has Helped Us Overcome Problems And Helped Us Work To Achieve A More Perfect Union. It Has Inspired The Many Leaders Who Played A Key Role In Abolishing Slavery, Protecting Civil Rights And, Hopefully One Day, Becoming A Nation Where All Life From Conception To Natural Death Is Protected.

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

And So, Whether They Came Here On The Mayflower, On A Slave Ship, Or On An Airplane From Havana, We Are All Descendants Of The Men And Women Who Built Here The Nation That Saved The World.

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.

The Truth Is Every Problem Can't Be Solved By Government. Many Are Caused By The Moral Breakdown In Our Society. And The Answers To Those Challenges Lie Primarily In Our Families And Our Faiths, Not Our Politicians.

If You Vote Against The Defense Authorization Act In The Senate, You Would Also Veto It As President.

If There's Somebody That I Love That's In My Life, I Don't Necessarily Have To Agree With Their Decisions Or The Decisions They've Made To Continue To Love Them And Participate In Important Events.

Important Events

Bashar Assad Has Been So Brutal Toward The Sunni Within Syria That He Created The Space That Led To The People Of Syria Themselves To Stand Up And Try To Overthrow Him. That Led To The Chaos Which Allowed Isis To Come In And Take Advantage Of That Situation And Grow More Powerful.

Actually, I Am Asking For This: For Something To Be Done. I Think That If It Had Been One Of The 50 States, Something Would Have Already Been Done. Unfortunately, You Know, Puerto Rico Is A Territory. Very Often They Forget About Puerto Rico.

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.

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.

Any Time You Can Degrade Or Take Away The Top Leadership Of An Organization, It's A Positive Step Forward.

Foreign Aid Is Important. If It's Done Right, It Spreads America's Influence Around The World In A Positive Way.

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. I Don't Know Why Because The Podium Goes Up To Here. He Wanted A Full Length Mirror. Maybe To Make Sure His Pants Weren't Wet. I Don't Know.

Let's Stop Big Government Energy Mandates Like Cap-and-trade, And Instead Trust The American Innovator To Make Us Energy Independent.

[puerto Rico] Losing Not Just Taxpayers, But Professionals, People Who Are Vital To Their Communities. I Don't Think That Is Good. So Undoubtedly, If What We Are Facing In Puerto Rico In Terms Of Budget And Debt Goes On, If It Continues, It Would Be A Disaster For The Island.

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.

From Tea Parties To The Election In Massachusetts, We Are Witnessing The Single Greatest Political Pushback In American History.

The Fbi Doesn't Sit Around All Day And Read Tweets. The Fbi's Going To Do Their Job. Robert Mueller's Going To Do His Job.

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

I'm Not Going To Change Who I Am. I'm Not Going To Change Why I'm Running... I'm Running For President [in 2016], And I'm Running Because We Can't Afford Another Four Years Like The Last Eight Years.

Barack Obama Hasn't Kept Us Safe. The Problem Is We Had An Attack In San Bernardino. And We Were Paying Attention To The Most Important Issue We Have Faced In A Decade Since 9/11, And Then All The Talk Was About This Proposal, Which Isn't Going To Happen.

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

I'm Always Looking For A Way To Serve The Nation, But I Don't Believe That It Will Be As Vice President And I'm Really Not Seeking It, I'm Not Requesting It And It Won't Happen.

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.

I Will Support Whoever Is Nominated And Named By The Party. I, At This Time, Don't Plan To Get Involved In The Contest And Let It Go Forward. I Had My Own Contest, It Didn't Result In Victory, And I Will Let Voters Decide What Will Happen. But I Will Support The Republican Candidate.

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.

Conservatives Believe In Traditional Values. Not Because We Want To Impose Our Views On Anyone, But Because To Abandon Those Values Would Be To Ignore Our History. Americans Are Not The Most Generous People On Earth Because Our Laws Make Us Generous. People Do Not Contribute To Charity In This Country In Record Amounts Because We Have A Tax Break From It. We Do So Because This Nation Has Been Shaped By Judeo-christian Principles That Teach Us That We Have An Obligation To Care For One Another.

If You Got To [abortion] Centers, Young Women Are Provided Very Few Options, In Many Places They're Not Told Anything About, For Example, Adoption Services That May Be Available To Them. The Idea That, In Essence, You Come In And It's Already Pre-determined, This Is What Place This Place Does. It Provides Abortions, And We Are Going To Channel You In This Direction.

We Have Enshrined In Our Founding Documents And Promoted The Fundamental Truth, All Around The World, That The Rights Of All Men, Women And Children ,not Simply Americans Come From God.‎

I Could Be Anything I Wanted Because I Was An American. And I Hope That That's Really What's Propelled Me Into Public Service.

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.

We Call That The American Dream, But In Fact, It's A Universal Dream Of A Better Life That People Have All Over The World. It Is A Reminder That Every Country In The World Has Rich People. What Makes America Special Is That We Have Millions And Millions Of People That Are Not Rich, That Through Hard Work And Perseverance Are Able To Be Successful.

This President [barack Obama] Is Undermining Our Military. This President Is More Interested In Funding Planned Parenthood Than In Funding The Military.

How Come Liberals Never Admit That They're Liberal? They've Now Come Up With A New Word Called 'progressive,' Which I Thought Was An Insurance Company But Apparently It's A Label.

After Eight Years Of Barack Obama And One Crazy Election, We Almost Got It Wrong. We Came This Close. But Then We Remembered Who We Were. Then We Remembered What America Was. Then We Confronted Our Challenges And Embraced Our Opportunities. And Because We Did What Needed To Be Done In 2016, Our Children Became The Freest And Most Prosperous Americans That Ever Lived.

We Do Need Curriculum Reform. And It Should Happen At The State And Local Level. That Is Where Educational Policy Belongs, Because If A Parent Is Unhappy With What Their Child Is Being Taught In School, They Can Go To That Local School Board Or Their State Legislature, Or Their Governor And Get It Changed.

This 2016 Election Better Be About The Future, Not The Past. It Better Be About The Issues Our Nation And The World Is Facing Today, Not Simply The Issues We Once Faced.

Obama Wants To Ruin America. Hillary [clinton]too.

I Do Think The Most Important Thing We Need In Leadership In Our Country, Not Just In The Presidency But In The United States Senate, Are People That Have A Clear Vision Of What The Role Of Government Should Be In Our Lives And What The Role Of America Should Be In The World.

People End Up Fleeing Countries Who Adopt Economic Policies Based On These Flawed Principles. And More Often Than Not, They Come Here.

We Need 21st Century Programs. We Have To Change The Dynamic Because The World - We're Not In The Industrial Revolution Anymore, Where You Could Leave High School, Go Work At The Town Factory For 50 Years, And Retire With A Pension.

I Don't Really Like Labels In Politics, But I Will Gladly Accept The Label Of Conservatism.

Well, When People Talk About Interrogating Terrorists, They're Acting Like This Is Some Sort Of Law Enforcement Function. Law Enforcement Is About Gathering Evidence To Take Someone To Trial, And Convict Them. Anti-terrorism Is About Finding Out Information To Prevent A Future Attack So The Same Tactics Do Not Apply.

If In Fact The Rates Go Up Because The President Refuses To Budge Then He Will Have To Answer For That Next Year When Our Economy Is Not Growing. When, Unfortunately, People Lose Their Jobs Who Work At A Dental Clinic As A Medical Billing Specialist, Or The Paralegal At A Law Firm Loses Their Job, Or The Courier At The Law Firm Loses A Job, These Are Not Millionaires And Billionaires.

But Here's What I Would Tell People Of My Generation. I Turn 40 This Year. There Isn't Going To Be A Social Security. There Isn't Going To Be A Medicare When You Retire. Forget About What Your Benefit Is Going To Look Like. There Isn't Going To Be One If We Don't Make Some Reforms To Save That Program Now.

I Think Crisis Starts With The Government Of Puerto Rico. It Has To Take Measures To Solve The Fiscal Problems That It Has, Which Are Very Serious. It's Very Basic: It's The Same Thing That Is Happening In Washington.

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.

In Aleppo, Mr. Putin Has Directed His Military To Conduct A Devastating Campaign. He's Targeted Schools, Markets. It's Resulted In The Death Of Thousands Of Civilians. This Is Not The First Time Mr. Putin Is Involved In Campaigns Of This Kind.

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.

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?

Most Countries Choose To Have Government Run The Economy.

We Need To Ensure That Our Foreign Policy Towards Cuba Incentivizes And Makes It Easier For There To Be A Democratic Transition. That Is How I Would Examine Our Foreign Policy Towards Cuba.

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

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.

We Are Special Because We've Been United Not By A Common Race Or Ethnicity. We're Bound Together By Common Values. That Family Is The Most Important Institution In Society. That Almighty God Is The Source Of All We Have.

We've Never Been People That Go Around And Confront People That Have Been Financially Successful And Say, 'we Hate You. We Envy You Because Of How Well You're Doing.'

I Think We Need To Simplify Our Tax Code, But Not As A Way Of Generating Revenue, As A Way Of Making Our Tax Code More Growth- Friendly.

I Think What We Need To Do Is Understand Our Number One Obligation Is To Act In The National Interest Of The United States Of America. I Believe It Is In Our National Interest To See Democracy Take Hold On The Island Of Cuba. And So We Examine Our Foreign Policy, Including All The Changes That President Obama Made, In That Lens And Through That Lens.

Why Are There So Many Young Conservatives Now Serving Our Country? I'll Tell You Why? Because We Grew Up In An Era Of Reagan. And Ronald Reagan Looked And Acted Nothing Like Donald Trump And Look At The Democrats.

Let Me Just Say The Rules Are What They Are In The Republican Party. You Have To Have X-number Of Delegates In Order To Be The Nominee. And If You Don't Have Those Number Of Delegates, Then There's A Process In Place.here Is What Would Be A Calamity, For Donald Trump To Become Our Nominee.

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.

From My Perspective, What I'm Really Focused On, Is Making Sure That, For The Broadest Number Of Americans Possible, Limited Government And Free Enterprise, The Principles That Have Truly Helped Build Our Country Into An Exceptional One, Is One That Is Being Sold To And Appeals To The Broadest Number Of Americans.

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

This Election [in 2016] Is About Electing A President That Will Restore Our Economic Vibrancy So That The American Dream Can Expand To Reach More People And Change More Lives Than Ever Before. And Rebuild Our Military And Our Intelligence Programs So That We Can Remain The Strongest Nation On Earth.

The American Dream Is Not About How Much Money You Make Or How Many Buildings Have Your Name On It.

I Have No Intention Of Being Vice President. I Have Said It Clearly.

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.

The Millions Currently Trapped In Poverty And Despair Are A Tremendous Untapped Resource. Just Think Of What It Would Mean For America To Gain Full Use Of The Talents And Abilities Of All Her People. They Would Develop New Innovations To Improve Our Lives, Or Help Build The Next Great American Company.

But Those Who Believe That What Our People Desire Is Big Government Are Living In A State Of Delusion.

The No. 1 Issue In The Hispanic American Community Is 'how Do I Leave My Children Better Off Than Myself?

I Am But A Generation Removed From Poverty And Despair. Where Would I Be Today If There Had Never Been An America? What Kind Of Lives Or Future Would My Children Have If This Was Not A Land Of Opportunity?

Nothing Matters If We Aren't Safe.

Nothing Matters

Tourist Trips To Cuba Are Being Abused. They Are Tourist Trips That Are Providing Hard Currency For A Dictatorial, Tyrannical Regime To Get Hard Currency That It Uses To Oppress Its People. And That's Why These Trips Need To Be Carefully Scrutinized.
