Donald Trump Is A World-class Con Artist. He Conned All These People That Signed Up For Trump University. Now He's Trying To Do The Same Thing To Republican Voters. He's Trying To Convince Them That Somehow He's The Guy That Is Going To Stand Up To Illegal Immigration, But He Hires Illegal Immigrants, That He's Fighting For American Workers, But He's Hiring Foreign Workers For His Hotels, That He's Going To Bring Back Jobs From China And From Mexico, But, In Fact, He's Creating Jobs In China And Mexico, Because That's Where All Of His Suits And Ties That He Sells Are Made.

Our Higher Education System Is Controlled By What Amounts To A Cartel Of Existing Colleges And Universities, Which Use Their Power Over The Accreditation Process To Block Innovative, Low-cost Competitors From Entering The Market.

The Politics Of Resentment Against Other People Will Not Just Leave The Republican Party A Fractured Party. They're Going To Leave Us A Fractured Nation. They're Going To Leave Us As A Nation Where People Literally Hate Each Other Because They Have Different Political Opinions.

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.

We Don't Need New Taxes. We Need New Taxpayers, People That Are Gainfully Employed, Making Money And Paying Into The Tax System. And Then We Need A Government That Has The Discipline To Take That Additional Revenue And Use It To Pay Down The Debt And Never Grow It Again.

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.

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.

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.

We Need American Foreign Policy That Tells The World Very Clearly That It Is Bad To Be Our Enemy And Good To Be Our Friend.

I Think Republicans Need To Do A Better Job Of Reaching Out To Everyone In The United States. Politics Is Always About Getting The Support Of The Majority Of Our People.

In Cuba, His Holiness [pope Francis] Won't Find A Government That Protects Its People And Their God-given Rights. Instead, He Will Find A Regime That Oppresses People And Hinders Progress, Both Socially And Politically.

Most Countries Choose To Have Government Run The Economy.

Isis Is Winning The Propaganda War. They Are Recruiting People, Including Americans, To Join Them, With The Promise That They Are Joining This Great Apocalyptic Movement That Is Going To Defeat The West.

For Most Americans, Their Primary Aspiration Is To Achieve A Better Life... To Earn A Livable Wage In A Good Job. To Have The Time To Spend With Family And Do The Things They Enjoy. To Be Able To Retire With Security. And To Give Their Own Kids A Chance To Do As Well Or Better Than Themselves.

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.

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.

I Respect The Rights Of Those Who Do Not Share My Beliefs...but To Teach My Faith To My Children...and To Share It With Anyone Who Will Listen...that Is My Right Too!

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.

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.

The Second Amendment Is A Constitutional Right. I Didn't Make It Up, The Republican Party Didn't Make It Up. It's In The Constitution. I Think It's Just As Important As Any Of The Other Rights In Our Constitution.

This Is The Most Generous Country In The World When It Comes To Immigration. There Are A Million People A Year Who Legally Immigrate To The United States, And People Feel Like We're Being Taken Advantage Of.

Emboldened By The Progress The Republican National Committee Has Made To Ensure We Are Effectively Engaging The Hispanic Community Year-round. It's Important Our Party Listens To Voters' Concerns And Shares Our Proven Principles, Offering Real Solutions To The Issues Facing All Communities.

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

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.

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.

We Understand That Isis Is A Group That's Growing In Its Governance Of Territory. It's Not Just Iraq And Syria. They Are Now A Predominant Group In Libya. They Are Beginning To Pop Up In Afghanistan. They Are Increasingly Involved Now In Attacks In Yemen. They Have Jordan In Their Sights. This Group Needs To Be Confronted With Serious Proposals.

I Never Wanted It To Get To This Point. I Had Hoped That, By Its Own Course, By The Way The Media Covers Politics, People Would Open Their Eyes And See Who Donald Trump Really Is. But That, Unfortunately, Has Not Happened. The Polls In The Early States Indicate That He's Been Able To Fool A Significant Number Of People Into Believing That He Is Something That He Is Not.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

In Aleppo, Mr. Putin Has Directed His Military To Conduct A Devastating Campaign. He's Targeted Schools, Markets, Not Just Assisted Syrians In Doing It, His Military Has Targeted Schools And Markets And Other Civilian Infrastructure. It's Resulted In The Deaths Of Thousands Of Civilians.

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

The Most Important Institution In Society Is The Family. If The Family Breaks Down, Society Breaks Down.

I Believe We Must Study Which Changes Must Be Made Now That The Immigration System Has Changed, Because We Are Seeing, I Believe, That At This Time We Are Inviting People To Come To The U.s. On Very Dangerous Trips.

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.

A Whole Series Of Changes That Are In The Code, Are In The Laws Of The United States. If Cuba Changes Its Position Toward Its Own People, Well Then The Policy Of The United States Changes Also. That Is What I Would Go After. I Believe That Many Of The Changes That This President Has Made, President Obama, Are In Violation Of That Law.

A Massive Immigration Bill Has No Chance Of Becoming Law.

Under This President, We Have A Government That Has Grown Too Big, Too Costly And Now Even More Overbearing By Forcing Religious Entities To Abandon Their Beliefs.

Let Us Agree Here Today To Adopt Among Ourselves A Simple And Unwritten Rule. We Will Not Rise To Criticize Someone Else's Idea Unless We Are Prepared To Offer An Alternative Idea Of Our Own.

We Are A People That Have Always Celebrated Other People's Success So Long As We Always Had The Opportunity To Meet That Success Ourselves. That Is The American Nature. That Is The American Character. That Is One Of The Things That Makes Us Different From The Rest Of The World. And I'm Afraid We Could Lose That Or Are On The Verge Of Losing That.

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

I Love The People Of Venezuela. I Want That Country To Have Freedom. I Want It To Have Human Rights And To Be Banned By A Dictator Like Nicolas Maduro Is, To Me, A Badge Of Honor.

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.'

America Is Still The Land Of Opportunity For Most, But It Is Not A Land Of Opportunity For All. If We Are To Remain An Exceptional Nation, We Must Close This Gap In Opportunity.

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

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.

I'm All For Reforming Our Higher Education System, In The 21st Century, To Have The Skills You Need For A Middle-class Job, You Need Higher Education Of Some Form Or Fashion. It May Not Be A Four-year Degree. The Problem Is He Just Wants To Pour That Additional Money Into The Broken, Existing System.

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

I Would Say We Must Win The Information War Against Isis. Every War We Have Ever Been Involved In Has Had A Propaganda Informational Aspect To It.

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.

Moammar Gadhafi Is The Man That Killed Those Americans Over Lockerbie, Scotland. Moammar Gadhafi Is Also The Man That Bombed That Cafe In Berlin And Killed Those Marines. And You Want To Know Why Moammar Gadhafi Started Cooperating On His Nuclear Program? Because We Got Rid Of Saddam Hussein. And So He Got Scared That He Would Be Next, And That's Why He Started Cooperating.

Imagine If We Didn't Have A President Traveling The World Bad Mouthing America....that's The Un's Job.

The Only People Benefiting From The Status Quo In Immigration [in The Usa] Today Are The People Trafficking Human Beings Across The Border, And The People Who Are Hiring Illegal Labor For Cheap Purposes.

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.

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.

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

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.

I`ve Had Over $20 Million Spent Attacking Me. That`s Not Grassroots Money. That`s Money From The Establishment. We Have Always Had To Take On The Establishment. We`ll Do It Again, Because The Republican Party Needs To Turn The Page And Move Forward. And We Will.

I Am Personally Open - After All That Has Happened And After Ten Years In That Probationary Status Where All They Have Is A Permit, I Personally Am Open To Allowing People To Apply For A Green Card.

Ted Cruz Supported A 500-percent Increase In The Number Of H-1 Visas, The Guest Workers That Are Allowed Into This Country, And Ted Supports Doubling The Number Of Green Cards.

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.

When You Say I Want To Talk About Racial Justice, That`s Not The Same As Saying I Want To Do Something About Racial Justice.

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.

The Federal Government Has The Responsibility To Protect The Nation's Public Health, To Protect Us From Foreign Threats. And It [zika] Really Is An Illness That We Are Seeing Arrive From Abroad. So It Is A Threat To Public Health, And It Is The Federal Government's Job To Cooperate In This.

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.

For Many Of Us Who Were Born And Raised In This Country, Including Me, It's Sometimes Easy To Forget How Special America Really Is.

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.

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.

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

Donald Trump Is Not Going To Be The Nominee, Because We Are Not Going To Allow - People Will Wake Up And We're Not Going To Allow A Con Artist To Take Over The Party Of [abraham] Lincoln And [ronald] Reagan.

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

Cubans Who Arrive And Can Prove That They Are Refugees Who Are Truly Fleeing Political Persecution Will Continue To Qualify As Refugees. The Only Thing That I've Asked For Is To Do Away With Automatic Benefits Granted To Someone, Basically, Cubans Who Come From Cuba, If It Cannot Be Verified That They Are Refugees Fleeing Political Persecution, So They Will Be Treated The Same Way As Any Other Immigrant Who Arrives In The United States, Which Is That Legal Immigrants In The United States Don't Have The Right To Any Federal Benefits For Five Years.

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.

And That Sort Of Victimization Narrative Is Something We Shouldn't Contribute To. On The Other Hand, We Have To Acknowledge That There Is A Radical Element In Islam, Jihadism, That Needs To Be Called By Name And Needs To Be Confronted.

We Can't Win - If We Nominate Someone - If We Nominate Someone That Half Of The Republican Party Hates, We're Going To Be Fighting Against Each Other All The Way To November [of 2016]. We Will Never Win That Way.

I Am As Conservative As Anyone Running In This [president's] Race, But I Am A Conservative That Can Win. That's A Big Deal.

Oftentimes, Your Choices Are Down To Two Less Than Ideal Outcomes, But You Have To Choose Which One Is The Best One For The Country. I Personally Believe He Continues To Struggle To Articulate That.

Our Status As A Land Of Equal Opportunity Has Made Us A Rich And Powerful Nation, But It Has Also Transformed Lives. It Has Given People Like Me The Chance To Grow Up Knowing That No Dream Was Too Big And No Goal Out Of Reach.

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.

Ultimately, My Proposal Isn't Intended To Increase Or Decrease The Amount Of Federal Spending Spent On Antipoverty Programs.

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 Be In This Race As Long As It Takes. We're Going To Be In As Many States As It Takes To Ensure That I'm The Nominee And That Donald Trump Never Gets To 1,236 Delegates, Which Is What He Needs To Be The Nominee.

Here's The Bigger Problem With All This, We're Not Interrogating Anybody Right Now. Guantanamo's Being Emptied By This President. We Should Be Putting People Into Guantanamo, Not Emptying It Out, And We Shouldn't Be Releasing These Killers Who Are Rejoining The Battlefield Against The United States.

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.

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.

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.

Moammar Gadhafi And The Revolt Against Gadhafi Was Not Started By The United States. It Was Started By The Libyan People. And The Reason Why I Argued We Needed To Get Involved Is Because He Was Going To Go One Way Or The Other. And My Argument Then Was Proven True, And That Is, The Longer That Civil War Took, The More Militias Would Be Formed And The More Unstable The Country Would Be After The Fact.

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.

I Believe That There Are Barriers, Educational Barriers, Cultural Barriers, Societal Barriers, That Are Keeping People From Accessing The Promise Of A Vibrant Free Enterprise Economy.

I Asked The American People Do Not Give In To The Fear. Do Not Give Into The Frustration. We Can Disagree About Public Policy. We Can Disagree About It Vibrantly, Passionately, But We Are A Hopeful People. And We Have Every Right To Be Hopeful.

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

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.

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 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.

Leadership Can Not Be Measured In A Poll Or Even In The Result Of An Election. It Can Only Be Truly Seen With The Benefit Of Time. From The Perspective Of 20 Years, Not 20 Days.

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.

To Help People Emerge From The Poverty, You Have To Understand, What Are The Structural Causes Of It? And The Structural Causes Are Partially Cultural.

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.

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 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 Mean, On Virtually Every Major Issue Before This Country That Is The Natural Purview Of The Federal Government, It's Important To Have Some Specificity About What You're Going To Do If You Want To Be The President. And So I Agree That, Up Until This Point, It Hasn't Been A Huge Factor.

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'm Not Poor, But I'm Not Rich, Either.

Let's Stop Talking About New Taxes And Start Talking About Creating New Taxpayers, Which Basically Means Jobs.

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.

If You're An American Citizen And You Decide To Join Up With Isis, We're Not Going To Read You Your Miranda Rights. You're Going To Be Treated As An Enemy Combatant, A Member Of An Army Attacking This Country.

Today You Have Millions Of Americans That Feel Left Out And Out Of Place In Their Own Country, Struggling To Live Paycheck To Paycheck, Called Bigots Because They Hold On To Traditional Values.

I Think Media Think It's Going To Be Good For Ratings, And, Two, Because They Know They Have A Lot Of Material To Work With. If Donald Trump Were To Ever Become The Nominee, Immediately, The Hounds Of Hell Would Descend On Him. They're Going To Tear Him Apart, Everything He's Ever Done, From Not Releasing His Taxes, To All Of His Failed Business Dealings.

Both Of My Parents Were Born Into Poor Families On The Island Of Cuba. They Came To America Because It Was The Only Place Where People Like Them Could Have A Chance.my Father Was A Bartender. And The Journey From The Back Of That Bar To The [election 2016], To Me, That Is The Essence Of The American Dream.

Every Single One Of Us Is The Descendant Of A Go-getter. Of Dreamers And Of Believers.

I Think The Immigration System We Have Now Is Terrible For The United States Of America. We Have A Legal Immigration System That Does Not Work. It Does Not Reflect The Economic Needs Of This Country In The 21st Century. It Needs To Be Modernized.

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 War On Poverty Programs Help Address The Pain Of Poverty.

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

Around The World, America's Influence Has Declined While This President [barack Obama] Has Destroyed Our Military, Our Allies No Longer Trust Us, And Our Adversaries No Longer Respect Us.

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

Their Rhetoric Is The Same As Always. The Only Difference Is That The United States Has Granted Them A Whole Series Of Concessions, And That The Cuban Government Has Not Changed At All. And That Is Part Of The Same Thing I've Always Said, This Isn't Different, Nothing Has Changed On The Part Of The Cuban Government, Absolutely Nothing Has Changed On Its Part.

Another Clinton Presidency Would Be A Death Blow To The American Dream.

[cuba's Goverment] Is An Anti-american Government.

American Government

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.

If Donald Trump Is Our Nominee, It Could Be The End Of The Republican Party. It Will Split Us And Splinter Us In A Way That We May Never Be Able To Recover. And The Democrats Will Be Joyful About It. It's Not Going To Happen.

...you're Never Going To Have A Legal Immigration System That Works If You Grant Amnesty.

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

Let Me Start By Saying That I Do Not Enjoy Nor Relish The Partisan Role Of Attack Dog. I Never Found Any Fun In That. I Don't Think It's Constructive. I Don't Intend To Become That Here In The Senate.

What I Have Advocated Is That We Pass Law In This Country That Says All Human Life At Every Stage Of Its Development Is Worthy Of Protection. In Fact, I Think That Law Already Exists. It Is Called The Constitution Of The United States.

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

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

The American Dream Is About Achieving Happiness. When You Become A Fire Fighter, A Police Officer Or A Teacher Or A Nurse, You Know You're Not Going To Become A Billionaire. And What My Parents Achieved Working As A Bartender And A Maid At A Hotel After Arriving Here With Nothing, No Education, No Money. The First Words My Dad Learned In English Where I'm Looking For A Job.you Know What My Parents Achieved? They Owned A Home In A Safe And Stable Neighborhood. They Retired With Dignity And They Left All Four Of Their Children Better Off Than Themselves.

This Guy [donald Trump] Has Not Offered A Single Serious Policy Proposal, Which Is Important If You Want To Be President Of The United States. And Hillary Clinton Is Going To Have Clear Shot To The Oval Office. And So I Think There Are Many Out There That Are Rooting For That Outcome, So That He's The Nominee. And You Can See It In The Coverage He's Gotten.

Everything That I Will Ever Accomplish, I Owe To God, To My Parent's Sacrifices, And To The United States Of America.

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.

I Feel Bad For The Kids That Are In School Right Now And The Young People All Across America Who Don't Realize That The Grownups Who Are Supposed To Be Running This Country Are The Verge Of Leaving Them As The First Generation Of Americans Worse Off Than The Generation Before.

Donald Trump's Habit Of Making Offensive And Outlandish Statements Will Not Bring Americans Together.

I Owe A Debt To America That I Will Never Be Able To Repay.

Now, The Political Class Tries To Make Sense Of All Of This, But They Can't, Because Never Has The Political Class Or The Mainstream Media That Covers Them Been More Out Of Touch With The American People Than They Are Today.

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

Entrepreneurship

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.

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

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.

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 Tell People All The Time That I Was Born And Raised In Ronald Reagan's America.

I Have Almost The Same Number Of Days Left As Barack Obama Has In The White House. So We Are Going To Stay Focused On This Job. I Am Enjoying It A Lot. And We Are Going To See If We Can Achieve Some Very Good Things Before The End Of The Year.

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.

[donald Trump Twitts] "lightweight Marco Rubio Was Working Hard Last Night." This Is True. "the Problem Is He's Chalker And Once A Chalker, Always A Choker," I Guess That's What He Meant To Say. He Spelled Choker, C-h-o-k-e-r.

I Really Haven't Had Time To Think About What I'm Going To Do As A Professional Attorney. There Is No Doubt That I Am Going To Try To Achieve Something Positive In The Private Sector. I Think It's Important.

Here's The Problem With Common Core. The Department Of Education, Like Every Federal Agency, Will Never Be Satisfied. They Will Not Stop With It Being A Suggestion. They Will Turn It Into A Mandate.in Fact, What They Will Begin To Say To Local Communities Is, You Will Not Get Federal Money Unless Do You Things The Way We Want You To Do It. And They Will Use Common Core Or Any Other Requirements That Exists Nationally To Force It Down The Throats Of Our People In Our States.

I Believe That We Will See Cases Like These That Will Continue Because We're Talking About Companies That Are Doing Business With A Tyranny And A Dictatorship. And When They Do Business With A Dictatorship, A Tyranny, They Will Have Problems Like This. This, I Believe, Is The Beginning Of Several Problems That There Will Be Over The Next Few Years Because We Are Talking About American Companies That Now Want To Get Cozy With This Regime, And They Will Find Themselves In Very Serious Problems Such As Those We're Seeing At This Time With The Carnival Company.

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.

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

Do Not Be Afraid To Offer Ideas That Draw Opposition. Remember, If No One Is Against Your Idea, Then Your Idea Probably Doesn't Do Anything.

We Need Transparency In Government Spending. We Need To Put Each Government Expenditure Online So Every Floridian Can See Where Their Tax Money Is Being Spent.

Conservatism Means Re-embracing True Free Enterprise. True Free Enterprise, Which I Believe And Not Because My Parents Were Wealthy, Not Because I Inherited Millions Of Dollars Because I Did Not, But Because As I Walked On To The Stage Here Today, I Walked Through The Kitchen Of This Hotel And I Met People And Shook The Hands Of People Who Are Doing The Jobs My Parents Once Did.

Free Enterprise Makes People Prosperous, All People Prosperous, And Big Government Makes People Poorer.

When Has A Democratic Political Activist Been Poisoned By The Gop, Or Vice Versa? We Are Not The Same As #putin.

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.

I Don't Want There To Be Millions Of People That Are Permanently Barred From Every Becoming Americans.

I Think The American People Are Gonna Be Reasonable With What Do You Do With Someone Who Has Been In This Country For 10 Or 12 Years Who Hasn't Otherwise Violated Our Laws - Because If They're A Criminal They Can't Stay. They'll Have To Undergo A Background Check, Pay A Fine, Start Paying Taxes. And Ultimately, They'll Given A Work Permit And That's All They're Gonna Be Allowed To Have For At Least 10 Years.

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

I Promise You, The Next Time There Is Attack On - An Attack On This Country, The First Thing People Are Going To Want To Know Is, Why Didn't We Know About It And Why Didn't We Stop It? And The Answer Better Not Be Because We Didn't Have Access To Records Or Information That Would Have Allowed Us To Identify These Killers Before They Attacked.

Religious Freedom Is Often Referred To As America's First Freedom. Our Country Was Founded By Religious Exiles And Built On The Belief That God Has Given All People Certain Inalienable Rights. Government's Role In Society Is To Protect These Rights And Ensure That We Are Safe From Religious Persecution And Discrimination.

We Have Seen That [zika Virus] Has Caused, And Is Causing, A Whole Series Of Problems For Pregnant Women And For Their Unborn Children, And We Are Seeing That It Is Transmitted By Mosquitos, And Mosquitos Are A Serious Matter During The Summer In Florida. So We Are Very Worried About Those Funds Not Being Available. There Is $500 Million Dollars Available From The Ebola Money That Was Not Used. I Think It Is Going To Be Used Immediately.

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

And I Think For Some - Not All - But For Some Democrats, The Issue Of Immigration Is Better Politically If They Just Leave It The Way It Is Now Because They Can Use It Against Republicans.

But While I'm Realistic About Our Challenges, I'm Optimistic About Our Future. There Are A Few Things, And If We Do Them, We're Going To Have The Greatest Era In Our History. And I Have Detailed What Those Things Are Specifically.

I Believe In Freedom Of Speech. And I Believe That Spending On Political Campaigns Is A Form Of Political Speech That Is Protected Under The Constitution.

Freedom Of Speech

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

Our Problem With President Obama Isn't That He's A Bad Person. By All Accounts, He Too Is A Good Husband, And A Good Father - And Thanks To Lots Of Practice, A Pretty Good Golfer.

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

Our National Motto Is 'in God We Trust,' Reminding Us That Faith In Our Creator Is The Most Important American Value Of All.

The President We Have Today Is A Typical Washington Politician That's Prone To Hyperbole And Decisiveness And False Outrage. And I Think It's Very Sad - Very Sad To Watch.

But America Was Founded On The Principle That Every Person Has God-given Rights. That Power Belongs To The People. That Government Exists To Protect Our Rights And Serve Our Interests. That We Shouldn’t Be Trapped In The Circumstances Of Our Birth. That We Should Be Free To Go As Far As Our Talents And Work Can Take Us.

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.

Donald Trump Is Never Going To Be The Nominee. So, I'm Not Worried About A Hypothetical That's Never Going To Happen.

However, However, If The Goal Is To Abandon America's Free Enterprise Economy, If The Goal Is To Convert America Into A Submissive Member Of The International Community, If The Goal Is Not To Fix America, But To Change America, Then They Want Leaders That Are Going To Come Up Here And Fight It Every Step Of The Way.

Our Brave Men And Women Have Made Many Sacrifices In Just Wars To Defeat The Forces Of Evil. We Have Exported Our Greatest Values: Freedom And Opportunity, Which Have Lifted Millions Out Of Poverty. At Home, These Values Allow Americans To Use Their God-given Potential And Make Their Dreams Reality.

There Are A Lot Of Other People Out There That Some Of Us Wish Had Run For President, But They Didn't. I Think Mitt Romney Would Be A Fine President, And He'd Be Way Better Than The Guy Who's There Right Now.

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.

Donald Trump Is A World-class Con Artist. He Conned All These People That Signed Up For Trump University. Now He's Trying To Do The Same Thing To Republican Voters. He's Trying To Convince Them That Somehow He's The Guy That Is Going To Stand Up To Illegal Immigration, But He Hires Illegal Immigrants, That He's Fighting For American Workers, But He's Hiring Foreign Workers For His Hotels, That He's Going To Bring Back Jobs From China And From Mexico, But, In Fact, He's Creating Jobs In China And Mexico, Because That's Where All Of His Suits And Ties That He Sells Are Made.

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.

Mitt Romney Will Stop The Attacks On Job Creators, Encourage Entrepreneurs To Chase Their Dreams, And Bring Good Jobs And A Better Future To All Americans.

For Those Who Aspire To Live In A High Cost, High Tax, Big Government Place, Our Nation And The World Offers Plenty Of Options. Vermont, Canada And Venezuela All Offer You The Opportunity To Live In The Socialist, Big Government Paradise You Long For.

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.

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.'

It Wouldn't Be Bad To Have The Secret Service Keeping An Eye On My Teenage Daughter. I Personally Am Not Troubled By The Fact That There Would Be A Couple Of Big Guys With Earpieces Beside Her, Just In Case.

For Fifty Years Now, We Have Tried Big Government. Yet Too Many People Remain Trapped In Despair. Now, We Must Try A New Way.

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.

America Is Greatest Country; But Not Our Government.

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.

To Tackle The Big And Relevant Issues Of The Day With Bold And Innovative Ideas Is Without Question The Most Rewarding Way To Serve.

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.

The Obama Administration's Obsession With Forcing Mandates On The American People Has Now Reached A New Low By Violating The Conscience Rights And Religious Liberties Of Our People.

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 Didn't Want My Next U.s. Senator To Be Someone Who Was Going To Go Up There And Do The Same Stuff People Have Been Doing. But I Guess Our Argument Is It's Okay To Be Angry And Upset At Washington.

[donald Trump] Hedging His Bets Because He's Used To Buying Politicians.

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.

Conservatism Is Not About Leaving People Behind. Conservatism Is About Empowering People To Catch Up, To Give Them The Tools At Their Disposable That Make It Possible For Them To Access All The Hope, All The Promise, All The Opportunity That America Offers. And Our Programs To Help Them Should Reflect That.

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